Posted by James | October 27, 2018 | Hired Attorney | DUI & DWI

One of the Best in the Des Moines!

I was charged (erroneously) with Operating While Intoxicated (1st Offence) or OWI in August 2012 after I'd accidentally fallen asleep at the wheel while driving fatigued for a short time, and drove off the road and crashed into a fence. Wanting to fight the charge with everything I could, I was recom...mended by a friend of my father's to Mr. Ellis. Immediately I knew he would be the best choice for my case, as it was very complicated due to the issue of the arresting officer being unable to collect a drug screen from me due to dehydration (it was a very hot August), which was counted as a refusal. In the end I prevailed and it was due to the diligence and zeal put out by Mr. Ellis. He and his junior attorney worked night and day on my case and read through Harry Potter book-sized legal resources to build my defence and researched expert witnesses to help my case as well. This great perseverance and determination left me greatly satisfied, and Mr. Ellis was also very affordable, as some other great lawyers charge far more for the same level of service that I received. I would highly recommend Mr. Ellis to anyone in that difficult situation and I never once could say I had second thoughts about Mr. Ellis' firm.

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.
