Elliot Steinmetz, Esq., is a Partner at Abrams Fensterman, LLP, working out of the firm’s Long Island office.
Elliot joined Rachelle Rosenberg in 2014 to form Rosenberg & Steinmetz PC (RSPC) in order to bring his own approach and energy to his representation of clients in real estate transactions. Elliot’s experience as an associate general counsel for a publicly traded mortgage real estate investment trust allows him to approach his transactions from both a business and legal perspective on his clients’ behalf. His financing background gives him a great advantage when dealing with banks and lenders on real estate acquisitions and loans.
Prior to forming RSPC, Elliot served as a senior vice president and associate general counsel for a loan servicing company, where he was responsible for handling all corporate, litigation and insurance matters for the company. Before joining, Elliot was an associate general counsel at a publicly traded mortgage real estate investment trust. Elliot’s prior experience included working as an associate at a small firm in its commercial real estate transactions practice.
Elliot received a Juris Doctorate from St. John’s University School of Law, where he was a senior staff member of the New York International Law Review and co-president of the Jewish Law Students Association. Elliot earned a Bachelor of Science degree from the Sy Syms School of Business at Yeshiva University, where he also played for the men’s NCAA Division III basketball team.
Elliot is also the head coach of Yeshiva University’s men’s basketball team in New York City. Under his leadership, the Yeshiva University Maccabees have become one of the nation’s premier NCAA Division III programs, qualifying for the NCAA Division III Basketball Tournament in 2018, 2020, 2022, 2025, and 2026. In 2020, the Maccabees finished the regular season with an undefeated 19-0 Skyline Conference record (29-1 overall), earning the conference’s automatic bid before advancing to the NCAA Tournament Sweet 16, where their historic season was cut short by the COVID-19 pandemic. The following two seasons saw Yeshiva win a remarkable 50 consecutive games while holding the nation’s No. 1 NCAA Division III ranking for much of the 2021-22 season. Most recently, in 2026, Elliot guided the Maccabees to another undefeated Skyline Conference season, a Skyline Conference Championship, and an NCAA Division III Sweet 16 appearance, earning Skyline Conference Coach of the Year honors. Elliot also serves on the boards of several nonprofit organizations, including Maccabi USA and Athletes for Israel.
Elliot is admitted to practice law in both New York and Connecticut.
