Title Co issues

I can't say enough good about Mr. Ellis. He was kind, honest and professional. Not only did he spend quality time consulting with me about my situation, he went above and beyond by researching and providing additional information on the spot which was extremely helpful. Unfortunately, my situation ...happened to be outside of his area, however I would not have hesitated to retain him had my case allowed it.

Strategic expert that got me a result

I’ve used Johnny for planning my estate and, most recently, successfully getting thousands in damages from a bad tenant. He is a first-class attorney that cares very deeply about getting you the best outcome possible. He comes from a long line of Nashville lawyers and holds a superb strategic mindset....

A Very Competent Attorney

We recently had occasion to consult with Johnny Ellis concerning Tennessee property law. Mr, Ellis was very professional and answered all of our questions. We left his office feeling very satisfied with the information that he provided and the manner in which we were treated.

Probated father's estate

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.

performance as executor

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.

  • 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.
