Remarkable Representation

Compassionate,understanding and remarkably prepared in understanding and presenting my situation to the institution that reviews and ultimately decides the outcome. His knowledge of all my past physical and emotional issues was nothing less than extraordinary. Hudson explained and clarified any and a...ll questions and doubts that I had concerning the entire process, by the way which had a favorable outcome. I highly recommend Hudson and the entire firm to anyone who needs advice and representation for their disability concerns. Great personality and willing to go the extra mile with help and advice.

Hudson Ellis

I am glad to report an excellent review of Hudson Ellis. Mr. Ellis is professional in every way, yet he is quite approachable and has the ability to make you feel important and secure. Each time we have met with him, he answered every question with full knowledge and confidence. I would certainly ...recommend Mr. Ellis to "go to bat" for anyone who needs a successful lawyer. We had a complicated situation but Mr. Ellis did his research and personalized what we needed and he won the case for us. The final ruling of the judge was "full favor"!

Excellent lawyer

Hudson was extremely helpful throughout the entire process from original consultation to informing and meeting me before I had even heard from the social security office concerning my settlement. Hudson, and his assistant Lauren, never hesitated to take phone calls (or return them) as well as make s...pecial arrangements to meet with me if I had questions or concerns. He went above and beyond in obtaining the documentation and records that were needed and was extremely diligent in getting these records in the proper hands in a timely manner. I highly recommend Hudson Taylor Ellis as an advocate to handle any disability proceedings you may need. Glenn

So appreciative of Attorney Ellis's expert knowledge and skills

I was involved in a major car accident. My disability carrier would not answer my call or letters. I felt like I had no options. My family attorney recommend Eric Bucanan's firm and I had an immediate response from Attorney Hudson Ellis. He was able to work through the barriers the disability... insurance company keep delaying my appeal. He was honest, knowledgeable, and took time to help me understand the process to appeal their rulings. I was exhausted from my injures and 24 major surgical procedures. Attorney Ellis was able to help me by handling the many phone calls to the insurance company and got my medical records to have evaluated by an expert. He was available any time I called with question or challenges. His assistant Lauren was also able to facilitate an question if Attorney Ellis was in court.
