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

I contacted Ellis for an traffic violation, he was amazing, got the best result I could of asked for. He was very attentive always available for any concerns I had. Unfortunately I was in a situation where I needed his help once again and again, he was wonderful!! I can't say enough about positive... things about him. I will always call him when I am need of his 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.

ARD

This guy knows his stuff; he got me ARD. He's extremely polite and is very honest when it comes to your circumstance. You can call his office with your questions and you'll always get an answer.

Excellent Lawyer represented me for driving w/o intocolock equipmet.

Ellis was a wonder lawyer, He was very professional and would get back to you as quick as he could. Weather it would be a call back or a text. He knows the law and was very upfront and honest with me. I was so nervous and sick to my stomach and he had a way of making me feel at ease. At one point in ...court I said to him I'm so worried! he said "do I looked worried?" I said no, then he said then don't you be. He was Awesome and he did his job with perfection. I could have been thrown in jail for 60 to 90 days and he got me house arrest for 60 days so I can still work. Thank you Ellis! I'm so glad I had a great recommendation to use you! I will recommend you to anyone!
