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.

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

Mr. Ellis

I had worked for the US Courts for 15 years and developed late-onset eppilepsie. I thought I was going to lose my home, car and life. I had an insureance policy, that I'd been paying into for the prior 15 years, and I'd never thought would pay-off. It was just a mandatory deduction out of my payc...heck. It was contracted by the Courts under a group policy that I thought would never pay off, and secure my future. Just a small deduction from my pay check, so I never asked questions. As said earlier, I had worked for the Courts for 15 years before all this and I've seen many attorneys, whether they be Criminal/Civil, just move cases along and put very little effort of their clients best interests. Mr. Ellis was/is very protective of my best intersests, during depositions, despte a very powerful Insurance company, He was always attentive of my needs, trustworthy, whenever emailed/called he immediatly gets back to me. Before I even talked to him, about me case, he had a better understanding of my insurance policy than I did. I had read the policy many times before. You'll be in good hands with his firm and especially him. In addition to everything...he was always legitamatly concerned with how I was feeling.
