Mr. Ellis recently closed my father's estate, and I am pleased to state that he did so professionally and timely. Every aspect of closing an estate that involved family conflict was handled with dignity and respect. Mr. Ellis answered my questions and returned my calls promptly, which was reassuring during this difficult time. Obviously the negative review written about Mr. Ellis was written by someone who did not understand probate law in the state of Tn.

I want to thank Mr Ellis for his outstanding work in driving a timely, professional, and fair processing of my family's estate after the death of our parent. Johnny was responsive to all our requests and concerns and took extra time with us to ensure that we were comfortable with the process and how he was going through it. I would highly recommend him for anyone that needs help with wills and probates and I thank him for his help during this difficult time for me and my family. Thanks Johnny...you're a real professional.

DO NOT hire this man to handle your probate case. It is our opinion that he is the most unethical and immoral attorney out there. It took him well over a year to get everything done and it was one lie after another when we could get him on the phone. He told us the value of the estate when we first picked up the copy of the will and according to what he told us and what was in the account to disburse it looks as though there is about $200,000 missing! He was not only the attorney for the estate but also the Executor of the will. THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM!!! He also added the clause in the will that waives any bond of the Executor and further waives the requirement of filing and inventory or making any accounting to the court. This means he doesn't have to give a full accounting or inventory of the estate. We don't really know how much was in the estate and what happened to it all. AND his wife was the witness to the signing of the will. He gave away personal property of the deceased before offering it to all heirs listed. Every time we spoke to him the story changed and he NEVER followed through on what he said were his intentions throughout the entire process. I guess attorneys get away with things like this everyday but I hope this will keep someone else from having to deal with such an incompetent and negligent attorney.
