Great lawyer

I could not be more pleased with the work that Mr.Ellerin and his team performed for me. He was very thorough and communicated well with me throughout the entire process. He made it very clear that he was here for my best interest, and never once did he allow me to be taken advantage of. Mr.Ellerin w...ill continue to be my legal representation in the event further situations may arise.

Excellent representation

Mr. Ellerin was amazing. His professionalism and honesty was refreshing in a world of scheming attorneys. He helped me get custody of my daughter and we all know how selective the system can be with fathers and their daughters. I never was out of the loop, I never was given unrealistic expectation...s, and I never felt he was not representing me completely. We retained him for about a year timeframe and he never wavered on his commitment to my case. Great communication, understanding of the financial commitment, and commitment to what was important to me and my family: getting our daughter in the best environment for her upbringing. I would recommend him to all fathers in the world that want the best legal resolution for their children against the systematic challenges the system provides against fathers. Thank you Mr. Ellerin. I am eternally grateful for your representation of me and helping get my daughter with me permanently. If you want excellent representation with realistic expectations and verified results, choose Mr. Ellerin.

Great Attorney

Divorce is a nasty thing. Going through my first divorce, I was glad to have Scott as my attorney. He explained everything thoroughly from the first consultation through the final trial. I always knew I could count on him for good legal advice and I knew he always fought for my rights and best int...erest.
