I am writing to share my heartfelt review and gratitude for the exceptional service I received from Needle & Ellenberg Prior to coming to this office, I had been rejected by another law firm who did not take the time to listen to my case. However, this Law firm was different; both lawyers actually invited us to the office and truly took the time to listen to our story. Throughout the entire process, Mr. Ellenberg has been nothing but great to us. Cheryl, his assistant, was very warm and welcoming through this difficult moment. She was always professional and readily available. This firm has fought hard to ensure we were compensated, and their efforts have truly changed our lives forever. Turning a bad situation into a better outlook. I highly commend Mr. Ellenberg for his extensive knowledge and expertise in the malpractice field. I would definitely recommend Needle & Ellenberg to anyone seeking dedicated and professional legal representation.

Andrew Ellenberg represented my family during one of the most painful and frightening chapters of our lives. After my husband and our three-year-old son were involved in a horrific accident, we found ourselves overwhelmed, vulnerable, and unsure of how to move forward. From the very beginning, Andrew approached our case with the utmost professionalism, expertise, and precision; but what truly set him apart was the compassion and care he showed our family. Andrew never treated us like just another case. He understood that behind the legal process was a family going through unimaginable fear and uncertainty. He took the time to explain every step, answer every question, and guide us with patience and clarity when we needed it most. His knowledge and skill were evident in every decision he made, and his dedication to protecting my husband and son gave us confidence during a time when everything else felt uncertain. Despite the worst of circumstances, Andrew worked tirelessly and skillfully to achieve the best possible outcome for our family. His strategic thinking, attention to detail, and unwavering advocacy made an immeasurable difference, and we always felt that he was fighting for us with everything he had. More than a lawyer, Andrew became a steady source of support. During our most vulnerable moments, he was not only legal counsel but also a trusted guide and a genuine comfort. His kindness, integrity, and unwavering commitment to our family helped carry us through an incredibly difficult time. We will never forget the care, dedication, and determination Andrew brought to our case. My family is forever grateful for his advocacy, his humanity, and the peace of mind he gave us during the worst time in our lives. If you are looking for an attorney who combines exceptional legal expertise with true compassion, Andrew Ellenberg is simply extraordinary.

If you ever feel like you are in a dark place, and you feel that something wrong happened with your love one and need help to correct it and feel that they were treated unfairly and missed informed. I would 1000 percent recommend this firm!! They helped me with my father after a horrible life event happened to him and I’m forever grateful for them !! They guided me and answered all my questions and concerns! They are amazing and I’m blessed that they helped my family!!

I appreciated how Andrew Needle explained not just the legal concepts, but also whether a case would realistically be worth pursuing. He was thorough and the depth of his experience really came through.
