To just sum it up He is just a great at what he does while being a great person. Thanks for everything

EXCELLENT

Posted by Tomeria KendrickWed Mar 30 2011

Mr.Robert is an EXCELLENT lawyer! He kept me updated through out my suit, he was on point with getting in touch with me, answered every question I had and made sure I understood then clearly. Everything went smooth and I didn't have any problems with Mr.Ellis at all.! I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs legal assistance. If I was to come across another lawsuit, I would personally have Mr.Ellis take care of it for me. :)
