About Ellen
Biography
Hi,
I'm Ellen Hirshman and thank you for taking the time to check me out on avvo. I have been handling cases throughout Ohio for the past 30 years, as well as some other states. I enjoy representing families, although the reason they initially contact me is usually tragic. I take great pride in representing my clients and helping them and their families put the pieces of their lives back together.
I am married to Toby, and together we have 3 sons. Outside of the office I enjoy spending time with my extended family, especially watching my son, Noah, play hockey. I am actively involved with several legal organizations.
Please call me or email me with any questions you may have.

Going through a very difficult time it was Ellen who made it all okay.... down to earth, thoughtful, easy to talk to, non judgemental and an excellent attorney. Our family is very grateful for everything Ellen has done for us!
