Mr. Elston handled a complex mediation for my husband and I that dealt with the construction of our home and complaints from a troublesome neighbor. He was thorough, diligent and responsive in successfully handling the situation. I was very pleased with Mr. Elston from beginning to end. I highly recommend him and will use him again, if the need arises.
Douglas W. Elston has helped me on too many occasions to count. He has aided me in the formation of more than half a dozen companies, numerous contracts with employees and vendors as well as various real estate transactions, and successfully on both the defense and prosecution sides of several law suits including one against a major corporation that I think would be safe to call a household name. In each instance, I have felt that I was dealing with an honest and trustworthy ally. He always makes me feel important by keeping me informed every step of the way and truly listening to me. I have complete confidence in his abilities and have no intention of hiring someone else unless it is a situation outside of his wheelhouse. Even then, it will be a lawyer specifically recommended to me by Douglas W. Elston.
I own a contracting business that participates in a commercial and industrial environment, and have used Doug's expertise over the years to review contracts, negotiate various situations, and have even used his services to settle a neighborhood dispute. He is very knowledgeable and informative, and has always led me to a good solution, from an uncomfortable environment. Doug's efforts & skills have always had a positive impact on my bottom line. Whether business or personal, I would highly recommend retaining Doug as Legal Counsel.
As an attorney licensed since 1977, I've been exposed to every form of lawyer out there and I know most of them and know what to look for when choosing a lawyer who I can trust. That's why when I needed legal assistance on some of my own personal commercial business issues in an area outside of my field, I turned to Doug and hired him to be my advocate. I've come back to him time and time again because of his professionalism, his efficiency, his solid communication skills, everything I expect with the high standards I've grown accustomed to. I highly recommend Doug.

I've come back to him time and time again because of his professionalism, his efficiency, his solid communication skills, everything I expect with the high standards I've grown accustomed to. I highly recommend Doug.
Mr. Elston handled a complex mediation for my husband and I that dealt with the construction of our home and complaints from a troublesome neighbor. He was thorough, diligent and responsive in successfully handling the situation. I was very pleased with Mr. Elston from beginning to end. I highly recommend him and will use him again, if the need arises.
Douglas W. Elston has helped me on too many occasions to count. He has aided me in the formation of more than half a dozen companies, numerous contracts with employees and vendors as well as various real estate transactions, and successfully on both the defense and prosecution sides of several law suits including one against a major corporation that I think would be safe to call a household name. In each instance, I have felt that I was dealing with an honest and trustworthy ally. He always makes me feel important by keeping me informed every step of the way and truly listening to me. I have complete confidence in his abilities and have no intention of hiring someone else unless it is a situation outside of his wheelhouse. Even then, it will be a lawyer specifically recommended to me by Douglas W. Elston.
I own a contracting business that participates in a commercial and industrial environment, and have used Doug's expertise over the years to review contracts, negotiate various situations, and have even used his services to settle a neighborhood dispute. He is very knowledgeable and informative, and has always led me to a good solution, from an uncomfortable environment. Doug's efforts & skills have always had a positive impact on my bottom line. Whether business or personal, I would highly recommend retaining Doug as Legal Counsel.
As an attorney licensed since 1977, I've been exposed to every form of lawyer out there and I know most of them and know what to look for when choosing a lawyer who I can trust. That's why when I needed legal assistance on some of my own personal commercial business issues in an area outside of my field, I turned to Doug and hired him to be my advocate. I've come back to him time and time again because of his professionalism, his efficiency, his solid communication skills, everything I expect with the high standards I've grown accustomed to. I highly recommend Doug.
