OUR PRACTICE

GO ALL IN,

GET MORE OUT

We are a small firm by design. While some attorneys take on more cases, we choose to give our clients more attention.

If you’re coping with a catastrophic injury, or loss, you deserve nothing less. This level of dedication is also a winning strategy. Fewer cases gives us more time to pour over the details and scour the evidence. 

We are all in. And in our experience, more time invested returns better results and max settlements.

THE CASE BECOMES US
cLICK tO pLAY

Complex cases most firms aren’t built for.

We don’t focus on a niche area of practice, but we do have a specialty: complex cases. No matter how advanced the subject matter — 
from intricate engineering issues to sophisticated financial analysis — we become experts in the science and technical issues involved. We become experts in your case.

Typical types of claims could include, but aren’t limited to:

Personal and Catastrophic Injury
It was an accident that never should have happened. Because of someone else’s negligence or misconduct, you or a loved one are dealing with painful, life-changing consequences that could include brain or spinal injuries, burns, wrongful death or lifelong care.
Defective Products
Manufacturers have an obligation to their consumers. When products are used as intended, they must be safe. When defects or failures become dangerous, without warning, we hold companies accountable.
Drug and Medical Device Defects
Pharmaceutical and medical device innovations have fueled inspiring leaps in modern medicine. While companies are eager to promote these benefits, they are often reluctant to warn of dangerous side effects, especially when such warnings may cost them sales. When the business of health overshadows the duty of care, we hold corporations accountable for defects, false marketing or failure to warn of known side effects.
Medical Malpractice
Doctors, surgeons, nurses, hospitals and their teams can achieve incredible results. They can also make mistakes. Dangerous and preventable ones. Errors in judgment, misdiagnoses, patient neglect, inaccurate medications or surgical missteps — if a health worker falls short of their oath, causing harm and other damages, we’ll help you navigate the complexity of a medical claim.
Wrongful Death
The darkest and most challenging time of your life is made even more heartbreaking by a devastating realization: this was avoidable. Someone’s negligence or wrongdoing cost you something that can never be replaced. Nothing can make you whole, but we can get you the justice that will help you move forward, and prevent similar tragedies from happening to others.
Premises Liability
When you step onto someone else’s property, they’re legally responsible for providing reasonably safe conditions and a hazard-free environment. If they don’t take this burden seriously, the result could be serious, or even catastrophic, injury.
Truck Cases
Overloaded trucks with overworked drivers in massive rigs that spend too much time chasing deadlines and not enough time being inspected to catch defects and prevent equipment failures. A lot can go wrong. We can help if it does.
Mass Torts
A corporation’s negligence or intentional misconduct often results in more than one victim. These class action or mass tort cases can be unwieldy and complex with mountains of evidence and seemingly endless legal maneuvering. That’s exactly the type of case we’re designed to handle.
Consumer Fraud
Companies often rip consumers off, counting on the fact that each individual claim is too small for any one person to pursue. That’s where we come in. There is strength in numbers: while a claim may be relatively small by itself, it can be bundled with similar claims to create a powerful enforcement action against the wrongdoers. If you believe you have been defrauded by a company, tell us about it, and let us advise you of your rights.
Whistleblowing
In addition to personal injury, we specialize in advising and protecting company insiders who decide to take the courageous step of blowing the whistle on corporate misconduct. People who decide to stand up to wrongdoing in their company are often alone, scared, and overwhelmed. We advise whistleblowers on the powerful protections and incentives at their disposal and help them hold corporate misdeeds to account.

60 WARNINGS
AND
ZERO ENGINEERS

For years, the companies’ own internal memos and warranty claims  described a significant, hidden safety hazard. They didn’t fix it, and a peaceful boat ride on a sunny afternoon turned tragic.

The Lauris Case

THe enemy you can’t see

Dainis Lauris’s leukemia was in remission. He should have lived a full and healthy life. He had no warning that another deadly threat was lurking in the cancer drug he was taking.

THE HSBC CASE

FINANCING FEAR

Money laundering is the lifeblood of Mexican cartels. We were first to challenge a global bank for its complicit support of these terrorist organizations, and their deadly attacks against American citizens.

More than $100 million in recoveries since 2015

We prepare every case for trial. As soon as possible. Resisting any attempts to delay. There is no greater leverage.

Many of our complex cases settle on the eve of the trial. Defendants can no longer stall; their conduct is about to be exposed in front of a jury. This is what it takes to get the max value for your claim, and our cases often result in top settlements.

Confidentiality obligations prevent us from sharing the details of every success, but we’ve recovered more than $100 Million since 2015. Few (if any) have achieved similar results, as lead counsel, with a team as small and nimble as ours.

Our successes include:

THE Foscato Case
Product Liability  /  Largest single incident settlement in MO in 2023
Trinity Industries Case
Fraud, False Claims Act / $5 Million Recovery for the commonwealth of Massachusetts
Mercy Health Case
Fraud, Wrongful Termination / $1 Million Settlement
BMO Harris Bank Case
FIRREA / $10 Million Recovery, including a record-setting whistleblower award
In addition, more than $4 million has been recovered for malicious prosecution claims and more than $10 million in confidential tobacco settlements.

Prior to starting this firm, our lawyers recovered, as lead counsel, billions of dollars for their clients.

JPMorgan Chase & Co. Case
FIRREA  /  At the time, the largest recovery in US history against a single entity
Sierra Pacific Industries Case
Negligent Wildfire Case  /  Largest wildfire recovery in US history

Here for you, wherever “here” is.

No matter where you are or where the evidence takes us, we can handle your case. Wherever misconduct attempts to hide, we will find it.  

Elias Law is a national practice based in St. Louis, with a presence in Miami. We routinely bring cases in jurisdictions throughout the country, with some of our clients, and many of our defendants, living and operating internationally.

Yours is the only case that matters

We are very selective about the cases we accept so we can focus on the one that matters: yours. Let’s talk about your complex case. It’s free and confidential, with no obligation. And if we take your case, we do so on contingency. We don’t get paid until you win a settlement.

You took the
first step.

Thank you for sharing your case information. Your claim is important. To you and to us. We’ll review the details you provided and will be in touch to discuss next steps.
