I would highly recommend Mr. Ellis and I would certainly use him again if needed

After meeting with several other attorneys, Mr. Ellis was my choice to handle what could have been a very nasty case. From the beginning he handled all my issues and concerns with professionalism, courtesy and a caring manner. He and his wonderful staff put my mind at ease and handled my case beyond ...my expectations. I would strongly recommend Mr. Ellis and if I ever need legal representation again in the future, he's the only one I'll be calling! Thank you, Mr. Ellis

Extrememly knowledgable and professional

I would highly recommend Richard V Ellis. I was hit hard by the financial downturn in 2008 and it was financially devastating. Richard handle my personal bankruptcy in excess of $50,000,000.00. He did so in a superb, professional and caring manor. It was one year from the time my bankruptcy was f...iled until my discharge and he handle each meeting, crisis, and need in more than a professional way but in a way that showed he cared. I know that I was directed to him my a higher power and words can not express how I feel about his handling of my case and helping me navigate through the most challenging financial crisis of my life. He gave me the courage to realize this was only a detour along the journey.
