About Ellen

Biography

A divorce attorney should be as concerned for your needs as you are. I am that attorney.

Children are the most important people in a divorce case. Protecting their future is critical.

Calculating child support involves more than just plugging numbers into a formula.

When you've made the decision to end your marriage, you want an attorney with years of experience.

Your attorney should have years of experience crafting solutions when a family is breaking up.

I can assist you with guardianships, adoptions, and planning for your family's future.

Horrible experience

I had a really bad experience working with Ellen. She gave me a horrible legal advice, and put me in a dire legal position. Not only she failed to even give me any legal advice, it literally felt like she’s working for my adversary and opposing counsel. She is very incompetent when it comes to techni...cal aspects, like if you send her digital evidence via email, she asks you over and over again to print it, and send it to her. She also has issues with interpersonal communications, she comes off as rude (there is a difference between being professional and to the point and being rude, she crosses that line to the rude side of behavior). The judge kept threatening me illegally and call my constitutional right of due service as “gamesmanship”. When i wanted to hire a civil rights attorney, she literally threatened to terminate her representation of me at a very critical time of the case being handled. All in all, after working with her, she demonstrated rudeness, incompetence, and failure to provide legal advice as she should have.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • 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.
