• How much does it cost to hire Elliott for a criminal defense case?

  Cost depends on the type of matter, the fee model (contingency, flat, hourly), and how contested the case becomes. Elliott walks through the likely range during the consult so there are no surprises.

• Does Elliott offer a free consultation?

• How long do criminal defense cases in New Jersey typically take?

  Simple criminal defense matters can wrap in a few weeks; disputed cases can run 6–18 months from intake to resolution, longer if the matter goes to trial. Elliott gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Elliott take my case if I'm outside Manalapan?

  Elliott is licensed in New Jersey. Matters governed by New Jersey law are the natural fit. Out-of-state matters are handled case-by-case, sometimes with local co-counsel. Ask during intake — Elliott will tell you if the case is a fit or refer you to someone closer to your court.

• What should I bring to my first meeting with Elliott?

  Bring every document that touches the dispute: contracts, correspondence, police or medical reports, filed pleadings, invoices, photographs, insurance letters. Also bring a written timeline of what happened, in your own words. Elliott will filter what matters — over-preparing at intake is always cheaper than needing a second meeting.

• Is Elliott accepting new criminal defense clients right now?

  Elliott's intake status shifts week to week. Submit the form; the office will confirm availability or refer the matter out.
