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.

Best Attorney

Mr. Ellerin is by far the best family attorney in Florida. He helped me gain custody of my son. He took on the case as if it was his own. I am forever gratefully for his help. This was a long drawn out process and Mr. Ellerin knew exactly what to do and when.

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.

Simply the best attorney I've ever worked with

From the first meeting with Scott I was very comfortable. While we only went to court one time, I couldn't have had a better attorney representing me and protecting my interests. Every question or concern throughout the year he and his firm represented me was answered almost immediately. His support... staff is also extremely easy to work with, respectful and always ready to assist. He takes a no BS approach to defending your interests and you can rest easy that he will guide you to the best possible outcome. He is extremely honest, reliable, knowledgeable and passionate about his representation of his clients. I highly recommend Scott for all your family law needs.

Client

Attorney Scott Ellerin and his team helped me get a fair representation in family court! Unfortunately, I had to seek a law firm that specializes in helping men falsely presented to the court system. Through a lawyer I was threatened with, and expected to pay, private school cost (on top of the ...“full” child support I always paid fully and on time) simply because the mother “said so” after she unilaterally enrolled our child in an expensive private school program. Through her lawyer(s) she also claimed at least 2-3 other misrepresentations trying to make me look bad to the court. In the end, after a deposition and me presenting all my supporting data to Attorney Scott Ellerin and his team, Mr. Ellerin was able to use it superbly within the context of the law to successfully challenge and disprove the mother’s claims. The court ruled in my favor on every single legal count. Attorney Scott Ellerin and his team, because of their specific focus on Men’s Rights, were able to defend me using the law as it is intended—to protect either parent. In this case it was me, the father. Importantly, this was after what I know to be a respected law firm had essentially told me after two meetings: “we cannot take this case,.... this does not look good....” Bottom line, if you are a male and know in your heart of hearts that you are being misrepresented to the family court system, seek a law firm such as Kenny Leigh & Associates that specializes in “Men’s Rights.” Attorney Scott Ellerin did a great job bringing my case to a fair closing!!!

"Scott has a strong knowledge of family law matters. I have enjoyed having cases with him over the years. He is prepared to go to court (and does go) when necessary, but more importantly (in my mind) is he is willing to work towards a reasonable settlement to avoid litigation if the opportunity arises."
