Recently, Elrod Trial Attorneys was recognized as a Patriotic Employer by the Department of Defense's National Committee for Employer Support for the Guard and Reserve. Elrod Trial Attorneys was recognized for "contributing to national security and protecting liberty and freedom" through the firm’s outstanding support of its National Guard and Reserve employees. In 2004 and 2005, two of the firm's lawyers were members of the National Guard or Reserve.

Brian A. Farlow, an associate at the firm and a Captain in the U.S. Army Reserve was extremely pleased with the firm's recognition. "David and the entire firm have really stepped up to support my service in the U.S. Army Reserve," noted Brian. "Even with the increased operational tempo of my U.S. Army Reserve service, the firm has continued to support my service, both professionally and personally."

"We are honored by the recognition," noted David W. Elrod, the firm's founder "and we appreciate the service of all our country's National Guard and Reserve forces."
