One of Elias's early mentors was Chief Judge Jennifer Togliatti, for whom he clerked for a year.

He was later hired by the City Attorney of the city of Las Vegas as a deputy to manage many of the city's high-profile lawsuits in state and federal court. During that time, Elias worked extensively with the Planning Department and Business Licensing on land use and zoning issues as well as liquor and cannabis licensing matters.
