Ellen B. Holtzman

When you are contemplating or facing a divorce, the myriad of emotions and the depth of those feelings can overwhelm you and hijack your normally logical thought process. It can really challenge the foundation of who you are. This is what I found when I was facing my own divorce. Even though I am a w...ell educated PhD with a successful career, this process reduced me to feeling helpless and weak. This is why it was so meaningful that I found Ellen Holtzman and Christina Campolo on their website. As strong and well respected women leaders in their field and community, they understood how destabilizing divorce is and how even the most successful woman can find herself lost in the system. Both attorneys took their time to listen carefully to my fears and needs. Their expertise and knowledge of family law is impressive, but their ability to connect with clients is their strength. Ms. Holtzman is especially adept at constructing child parenting plans and negotiating child support even in a contentious divorce, and I was thoroughly awed by Ms. Campolo. She is smart and strategic and often thought of details and suggestions that would move us toward the outcome I desired. I am proud to call Ellen Holtzman, Christina Campolo, and her office friends of mine. They are so much more than just lawyers. They become part of your life and fight for you.

Ellen is someone whom should have retired years ago. She gets "agreements" with other lawyers but never gets them in writing so they are basically worthless. She does not return calls, does not return emails. Her lack of dilligence has caused me a fortune and has caused me to lose things that I wi...ll never get back.

My case was badly mishandled. Problems included lack of preparation when we went to court, no contact at all for months (this is documented) and then a rush to settle only after the clock ran up useless hours at a very high cost. No planning, no strategy, unable to stand up to my ex's attorney. We ju...st folded when my money ran out leaving me with a huge bill. Now my lawyer, Ellen has hired her own lawyer to sue me!
