There was a warrant out for my arrest since 1993 and didn't know about it until I applied for citizenship and received a letter stating this. I live in Miami and contacted Mr. David Ellison In Providence Rhode Island, since this warrant was from there. Right away Mr Ellison started working on the c...ase I was told by Mr. Ellison that I needed to go to Rhode Island and give myself up, in which I did. I didn't know exactly what was going to happen in court. To my amazement and shock my case was dismissed in a few minutes time. I would recommend Mr Ellison as a Professional that knows his job perfectly well and he is a wonderful human being, very understanding and very intelligent. I want to thank you so much Mr. Ellison for the great job you did. I really appreciate you as a professional and as a person Thank you again

Dave spent almost a year working with me to help resolve my case in my favor. From the start the outlook was rather grim, however Dave assured me that we had options, and we would exercise all of them. He kept in touch, any time I had a question or concern, it was answered honestly and thoroughly, ...day or night. He helped me to understand all of the different aspects of my case, and how our actions in the courtroom might effect the outcome of my case and my life. In doing this he showed sincere concern for my future, rather than a quick and possibly undesirable result. Dealing with the legal system as a defendant is always a miserable and stressful process, though Dave always kept me reassured that he would do everything he could to fulfill my wishes. From the start my case was a lost cause, I am certain many other attorneys would have convinced their clients to plead out, and do the time, explaining to them that they had no chance to win. Dave did the opposite for me, he took my case head-on and we won. I hope I never need to deal with this system again, but if I do, I will only call one attorney, and that's Dave Ellison.

After being wrongly accused of a crime (OUI Marijuana), Mr. Ellison was appointed to be my lawyer by a judge. He fought daily to prove my innocence in court, was always available to talk to and meet with me, and was dedicated to my case. His enthusiasm for his job was obvious and he was personally in...vested in my case, which seemed surprising to me for a court-appointed defender. The case was drawn out by the court system for over a year, but Mr. Ellison remained steadfast in his determination to disprove the charges against me. In person he is a great, personable guy. In the courtroom he is a savage: poised and cunning. He was unshaken when cross examining State Police officers and representatives. He was also very open to my own ideas of how to move forward with the case, but I trusted his judgement, much to my benefit. By the time we got to trial, every base was covered and the case against me fell apart as Mr. Ellison argued for my innocence. Using my own recollections of the events of the night of my arrest along with David Ellison's proficiency in his the judicial process, we made a strong case for trial. The verdict was not guilty, and I have David Ellison to thank for that. He is empathetic, approachable, and very intelligent. Great guy, Great Lawyer.
