EXCELLENT

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. :)

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.
