My background as a Former Senior Deputy District Attorney sets me apart from other attorneys. I have handled in excess of 7,500 criminal cases as well as thousands of Bankruptcy cases over the past 25+ years in practice. My experience as a trial attorney allows me to examine the case from both sides to best represent my clients.
My philosophy about the way I practice law is the same as what I tell my children - Treat people the way you wish to be treated. I treat my clients the way I would want to be treated if I were experiencing legal problems, with honesty, kindness and respect. I feel that a good lawyer should be financially affordable and I charge a fair price for my services. In addition, flexible payment plans can be arranged and we accept all major credit cards.
I talk to new clients over the phone, for however long it takes. When clients call me, I explain their options, give them my honest opinion about what could happen to them and I even quote them a fee and a payment plan, right over the phone. I don't tell clients what they want to hear, nor do I scare clients into retaining me. I will never tell a client "Don't worry about it." What I do is tell clients the truth, right over the phone, because I believe that an informed client is the best client. Again, if I were having legal problems, that is the way that I would want to be treated.
I have over 200 Five-Star client reviews on Avvo, but this is the review I am most proud of:
"Ellis made me feel like my DUI was our problem, not just mine."*
