David Ellison does not like women or children. He will not fight for a stay at home mom. David Ellison was the worst lawyer one could possibly have. He took my money and did not even provide the services paid for such as a discovery. I continue to have a hard time with my kids father due to the lack... of help by David with custody issues. I could go on about how he did not represent me. He is not a nice person. A lawyer is supposed to guide his client not railroad them. I do not recommend this lawyer even if he is the only one in your price range.

Outstanding Service

David did an excellent job resolving my matter. First of all when you call him you get David on the phone. Not some answering service or assist but actually David every single time. Second, David has a sense of urgency unlike most lawyers and gets back to you immediately with an intelligent and infor...mative response. From the time I spoke to him to the time my situation was resolved in my favor it was 2 days. I was super impressed with this crazy fast resolution. Lastly, his rates are affordable, and I will be using him for all of my legal needs from here on out. Wether you are in Athens, Ga or not David has your back!
