My name is Elliot Ifraimoff, and I’ve been the Founder and Managing Attorney at Elliot Ifraimoff & Associates, P.C. since 2001. I graduated from Brooklyn Law School and have lived in Brooklyn ever since my family immigrated to the United States in 1990. I am a happily married father of five. When I was in law school, I was taught that the number one complaint of all clients about their lawyers was a lack of customer service: phone calls not being returned, clients not being updated on their case status, etc. I remember thinking at the time that if I was ever fortunate enough to run my own law firm, I would make sure that my clients would always feel cared for. In fact, I thought I would overwhelm my clients with the level of service my firm would provide. Fast forward to 2001, when I saw my dream become a reality with the establishment of Elliot Ifraimoff & Associates, P.C.
