Beck & Eldergill PC

I reached out to this firm through my employer’s Employee Assistance Program seeking legal guidance on a housing and civil rights matter. Unfortunately, this was the second time I consulted with an attorney here and walked away feeling unheard, dismissed, and poorly advised. Despite having court documentation and explaining the procedural history of my case, I was repeatedly interrupted and told I was “wrong” without a clear explanation grounded in the law. When I attempted to reference Connecticut housing statutes regarding transient versus non-transient residency, I was cut off with “I already know, you don’t need to read me anything,” which made it clear my perspective was not being taken seriously. I also raised serious concerns involving police conduct and the impact on my child. Whil

Was in a car accident a few years back, and realize now the attorney that I had never negotiated terms for my accident. Didn’t tell me about the offer just told me this is the best you’re going to get. Even though I needed more physical therapy after I was paid out. Walked away with $7k after an off duty firefighter ran the red light into my car and totaled it, I ended up in hospital, arm in a sling and a concussion. SMH the paralegal was great everyone else not so much. Spent the next month out of work and had to do more physical therapy just to get back to work. Couldn’t purchase a car with the 7k so ended up on the bus with two kids.

Dave Kritzman was hired to handle two cases for us but had to be fired after he didn't show up to court three times (hard to believe, yes, and if we weren't there to see it or have the paperwork backing that up, we wouldn't have believed it ourselves as that's unheard of) in a row while calling for continuances without informing us beforehand and he would make very inappropriate comments to my then girlfriend and other friends while waiting at the courthouse usually about how he thinks he's worth more money. Such a disheartening experience.

Very courteous and down to earth. ATTY Mark Mercier wasn't my counsel but was very easy to deal with. I would recommend him in a heartbeat al as well as i would want to utilize Mark as a representation for myself in the future if the need would arise.

I spoke with Mark and even though he could not help me, he was extremely empathetic to my situation and educated me on the employment laws here in Connecticut. Even though nothing could be done to help my situation, I feel more confident about my situation knowing what he enlightened me with. Thank you, Mark!
