EXCELLENT ! Ellis exceeded my hopes and expectations.

Right from the start and through the entire process Ellis and his staff did superb work resolving my traffic ticket. I received a letter in the mail offering his services shortly after I was ticketed. Thank goodness I called his office. He promptly returned my call and clearly explained the proces...s and all my options. He is very knowledgeable and highly experienced. Not only did he get my speeding ticket reduced to a non moving violation but the fine was reduced as well. Ellis is the best ! I highly recommend him.

Good lawyer to hire for a car accident hearing-I recommend him highly

I am glad I hired Ellis B. Klein to represent me for a car accident hearing. After the accident I didn't know which lawyer to hire. You can spend a lot of time calling around interviewing lawyers and then still be unsure who will do the best job for you. A day or two after the accident the office ...of Ellis B. Klein contacted me through a letter offering their services. The letter indicated that Ellis has a lot of experience over the years and understands both sides of an accident. I contacted Ellis and I found him to be cordial and knowledgeable. His fees seemed reasonable and he was prompt in responding. During the day of the hearing, he was friendly, professional, and thorough in explaining the process and the situation as he saw it. His legal expertise and advice was beneficial in helping resolve my situation. Both before and during the hearing, he exhibited his professional skills. My wife was also appreciative of his help. Both my wife and I would recommend him highly and would use him again.

DUI Attorney

Ellis represented me in my DUI case. Ellis and his Team were excellent in handling all my questions and concerns. He fought to get me in the ARD program for which I am grateful. Ellis made my very regrettable event a lot easier to get through. His knowledge and expertise of the legal system assiste...d in getting my case in a lesser bracket of punishment. I highly recommend Ellis for legal matters of this nature. I have learned a valuable lesson and gained an excellent lawyer in the process.

Be represented by the best!

When I was arrested for DUI, I was referred to Mr. Ellis Klein by a family member who consulted with several attorneys and retained Ellis. He was very happy with the outcome Ellis achieved on his behalf. He specifically was impressed with how professional, polished, and knowledgable Ellis is. My ...case was more complicated than my relative's case, however, I heard such good things about Ellis that I decided to retain him immediately. Having a trusted advisor at a time like this is priceless. During every interaction I had with Ellis, he treated me with respect, warmth, and compassion. Ellis earned my trust quickly. He was almost always available when I called. When he was in court or with another client, he returned my calls/emails the same day and often within an hour. He explained every step of the process but because I was so overwhelmed and not absorbing everything immediately, I often asked him to repeat information. Ellis was extremely patient and took the time to make sure I understood what was happening now and what to expect next. During my court appearances, I observed how Ellis interacted with judges, police officers, ADAs, court personnel, etc...He clearly is well respected and has very good relationships within the legal community. Ellis' technical expertise is impressive, however, what sets him apart from other attorneys is his well developed professional network...this is a critical attribute when someone is representing you! Seeing how well regarded Ellis is by the people in a position to decide my fate inspired me with confidence in my decision to work with Ellis. As Ellis predicted, I was originally turned down for ARD. This meant I would lose my license for a year, have a record (which would impact my career), and spend time in jail. The prospect of going to jail distressed me the most. Mr. Klein was direct and honest with me. He did not promise anything other than to work diligently on my behalf. I was grateful that Ellis did not make false promises. Ellis encouraged me to appeal my ARD denial. Although I didn't have hope for a positive outcome and wanted to accept the decision, Ellis was the voice of reason and followed up with me to submit an appeal. I am so glad that I listened to my trusted advisor...my denial was overturned and I was granted ARD! This was an outcome far better than I expected. Nothing short of a miracle!! Ellis advocated tirelessly on my behalf when I wanted to give up. He took steps to ensure the court treated me as an individual and not just another file on the DA's desk. I would not have fought as hard for myself as Ellis fought for me. I would not have gotten the results I did on my own or with another attorney. I saw first hand that Ellis stands out from his peers. The only reason I avoided jail time is because Ellis represented me. If you are charged with a DUI, do not try to navigate this process on your own. Do not hire an attorney who is abrasive and/or doesn't have a good relationship with the people who will be deciding your case. Once you've made the right decision to retain Ellis, do these three things... 1. Listen to everything he says. 2. Follow his instructions. 3. Take comfort in the fact you are being represented by THE BEST!

Wow. Thanks for the awesome review. I am blushing! Seriously, I am so glad things worked out for you. You deserved the break and I am glad that I was able to help you get into the ARD program. Best regards going forward - Ellis

Ellis is the best!!!

Ellis helped my wife with multiple traffic citations. She got citations for speeding, careless driving and following too closely. Ellis was not only able to get the careless driving ticket dismissed but was able to change the 'following too closely' citation to a non-moving violation and also reduced... the speeding citation to a 3 point violation. In the end, I think he saved her license from getting suspended! Awesome attorney! 5 stars all the way!
