Great Choice

Mr. Ellison and I worked very well together during my workers compensation case. He kept me informed the entire time we were actively working on my case. He prepared me for our court days and was very comforting with the anxiety that came along with that. He took all my calls no matter frequent th...ey were. The best thing about Mr. Ellison is that he looks to the future he advised me not to close my case after we won the first round of court issues with my case, he wanted me to be prepared for future issues, this was the best advise as I have had repeat issues with my back since. I would highly recommend Mr. Ellison for all you work related issues.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
