Ellis saved my life!

In February 2017 I was charged with my 2nd DUI in less than 10 years. First time I had ARD, my BAC was .09 so I didn't lose my license,paid a fine and did community service. A slap on the wrist. This time I almost hit a police officer with my car and my BAC was .144 . The penalties changed over the ...past 6 years so I was facing a minimum month in jail, 1 year license suspension and 1 year interlock. What brought me to Ellis was his informative brochure. He told me if I did what he told me to do, I had a good chance of a positive outcome. He told me to stop drinking, go to AA and find a sponser. I followed his instructions and finally went to court in December. I received a month of house arrest, and because of the new law that passed in August I got a year suspension with eligibility of interlock at 6 months. My fines and court fees were minimal. I was able to keep my job since I didn't go to jail. I also will be 11 months sober tomorrow. My life has done a total 360. I learned from my mistake and I took Ellis seriously. Now I will never have to deal with a situation like this again in my life. Thank you Ellis! You've helped me change my life for the better. You were always honest so I knew exactly what cards could have been dealt. I came out with a winning hand. ✌

Carla, thank you so much for the review! I am so glad we were able to keep you out of jail and even happier that my advice helped you personally. I didn't do anything - I just gave you the advice so that you were in a position to get a break. You were the one who did all of the work getting treatment, and you made my job easy when I had to conference the case with the Judge. Best of luck in the future and it was truly my pleasure representing you in this case. Good luck - Ellis

very glad I Had Ellis on my side

As this was my first DUI I was very nervous as to what steps to take. After my first consultation with Ellis I felt so much more at ease compared to before I walked into his office. He was able to explain all the possible outcomes and confidently explain what he was going to do for me and where he th...ought my case would end up. I am very happy to say that not only were my expectations met, but they were exceeded! Ellis was always quick to get back to me if I had any questions throughout the process, and there was never any time in the last 6 months where I felt I was "in the dark" about things. The most important thing is that I never felt like he was just some lawyer collecting my money. Ellis cares about his clients and doing everything he can to get the ABSOLUTE BEST possible outcome. I would never wish for any of my friends or family to have to go through a DUI. In the event I hear of someone I know that needs an amazing DUI lawyer I now know who I will refer them too! If you need a great DUI lawyer do not hesitate to get Ellis on your side!

Experienced Legal Defense Attorney with Integrity

I hired Ellis from his credentials, even though I received his advertisement through the mail shortly after I was ticketed for a speeding offense. I was facing 4 points on my license. Ellis was able to reduce the offense so that I did not receive any points and even had the fine reduced a bit. And, I... did not have to show up at the court hearing - he handled it all at I believe was a reasonable price for what he was able to accomplish. He certainly is a straight-forward and experienced professional that clearly and simply explained to me what he thought he could do and was able to follow through! I would not hesitate one moment to recommend Mr. Klein for his legal services!

Couldn't be happier..

Received two speeding tickets within a 2 week period of time - 58 in a 35 and 95 in a 70.. I already have a couple points on my license and was staring at a license suspension and/or classes. Received a letter in the mail from Ellis who saw my 25mph over the limit moving violation. Hired him for b...oth cases. Not only did he get my points reduced to ZERO for each ticket, but had the moving violations reduced and I was sent over $50 in refund checks. To take it one step further, I signed a waiver for each case and didn't even have to show up for the court dates. It is very clear that his years of experience and relationships/reputation with almost every officer and judge in the Philadelphia and surrounding areas is excellent.

Outstanding lawyer

Ellis was able to eliminate the five points I would have received for driving substantially over the speed limit. My insurance company did not increase my yearly insurance premium as a result of his efforts. He was very professional and immediately contacted me after receiving the results.
