Biography

Michael Elbert is the lead attorney at the Elbert Law Firm, where he specializes in DWI and criminal defense. After attending St John's University School of Law on an academic scholarship, Michael began his career at the Bronx County District Attorney's office where he investigated and prosecuted hundreds of DWI cases. Since entering private practice in 2001, Michael has represented hundreds of clients on DWI charges in Nassau and Suffolk Counties. His reputation as an aggressive trial attorney along with his knowledge of the law and familiarity with the local prosecutors and judges has given him the ability to obtain favorable and often non criminal dispositions in DWI cases despite the overly harsh policies of the Nassau and Suffolk District Attorneys.
In addition to being recognized by the NAFDD as one of the Top 100 DWI Attorneys, Michael has been selected to the New York Times SuperLawyers list for the Metro Area and has been named one of the Top Ten Criminal Attorneys in New York State by the National Academy of Criminal Defense Attorneys.
