An Exceptional Advocate: Ellen Kingsley, Esq., is a Legal Powerhouse

Ellen Kingsley, Esq., has been extraordinary as my attorney. Over the past few years, she has guided me through an incredibly challenging journey involving divorce, custody, and relocation with unmatched professionalism and empathy. From the very beginning, Ellen demonstrated her expertise and deep ...understanding of the law, crafting creative solutions tailored to my sensitive situation. Her assertiveness in advocating for my best interests was always balanced with a respectful and compassionate demeanor, making me feel supported and heard throughout the process. She consistently went above and beyond, standing by my side every step of the way. Equally remarkable was her paralegal, Linda, who was a constant source of support and reassurance. Linda's kindness, attention to detail, and steady guidance made the overwhelming process much more manageable. I HIGHLY recommend Attorney Kingsley to anyone needing family law legal representation.

I'd give zero stars if I could

Ellen is the definition of a rip off lawyer. She is 100% incompetent. Has no idea of divorce law. She offere zero guidance. Offers nothing besides showing up. Personality of a leather mitt. Don't hire her. She's a waste of time and money.

lacking preparedness

In my initial divorce proceedings I found this lawyer to be compassionate and genuine upon meeting in her office. In both hearings she attended with me, however, she did not defend accusations made against me and quieted me when I attempted to defend myself. She then intimated that I did not hear wha...t I heard. She did not know the age of one of my children and their school status despite having this information. This gaffe cost me dearly. You should always feel represented when securing a lawyer. She was a good listener and very accessible. In the future I suggest this lawyer be more invested in her client in the court room. Being attentive and accessible is great but if it does not translate into the court proceedings it is of little benefit to the client. I normally do not write reviews but upon parting ways I tried to be as courteous as possible and that was not reciprocated. I, thereby, felt it was necessary for potential future clients to know this as to be able to make as educated a choice as possible when seeking legal counsel as these are life altering events being handled and should not be taken for granted. Thank you.

Understanding and Reliable

Ellen Kingsley was one of our family's lawyers for a very emotionally tolling guardianship case. We've been working with her for the past 3 years. Ellen quickly responded to all questions/concerns we had. She treated the matter with kindness and sensitivity. She understood the necessity for guardians...hip and used it as it was intended for: protection of our family member. We are very grateful to her and all the help she provided. She was always available to us and never missed a court date.
