"The most rewarding part of my job is meeting with clients knowing that I am going to help them through a very difficult period in their lives. When I first meet with a new client it is usually under very unfortunate circumstances. However, by working together with them I am able to help them understand how the legal system will protect them and their family and compensate them for the suffering they have been going through."

Marc Elefant is the founding partner of Wallach & Elefant, LLP. Mr. Elefant is a graduate of Pace University Law School where he was a member of The Pace University Law School Law Review and authored an article on legal requirements imposed upon juries in civil cases.

"Treating each case as it was the only one in the firm allows me to posture the case for the maximum recovery for each client.  Each client's case is the most important to them and that is why it is equally important to me.  It is through this representation of my clients that I not only help them receive compensation for their injuries but protect all citizens by bringing dangerous conditions to public light and through the use of the legal system help protect others from suffering similar injuries as a result of the same condition."
