1st lawyer experience—no regrets

Ellen is fantastic. She was there beside me ready to take the case to the furthest level it could go. She also informed me in every way that I could end the case sooner. I appreciated her expert experience and advice. I had many people ask me how my lawyer was and if they were dragging out the proces...s for their own financial benefit. I felt so comforted knowing that she wasn’t anything close to that type of divorce lawyer. She is clearly an expert in her field. She came to trial very prepared and corrected documents ahead of time, unlike the opposing party (whose lawyer also had a very high review rating). As great as she is, I hope I never have to use her services ever again.

Ellen Rhodeman, Attorney

Ellen made me feel comfortable from our first phone call. She answered my questions while allowing me to make the best decisions in how to proceed and what to expect during my case. Emails and phone calls always answered in a timely manner, taking off stress on my end to know I was a client that she ...cared about. My concerns or questions were important, no matter how trivial they may have been. I appreciated all her guidance, both pros and cons, to reach the outcome that was best for me. Many thanks to Ellen Rhodeman and her team!

Great attorney that will fight for you

My divorce was a 2 year process. Ellen helped me the whole way and went to battle. The GAL was basically a second attorney for the other party, but that did not phase Ellen. Numerous times she was commended in court for her thoroughness. She does not miss anything. I highly recommend using Ellen.

great!

I used Ellen as my attorney for a separation case in WI. My husband had filed to dismiss my case based on jurisdiction as he was in CA. I was able to win my case, with Ellen's help, and got primary placement of my daughter in WI. Ellen was thorough, worked late and up to the last minute to go over de...tails, and had good judgement on the sort of things that were realistic to fight for and what to let go. She was also pleasant and calm and well spoken in court.

Divorced

I’m FREE! Is what I said when I walked out of the court hearing. Thanks to Ellen! Attorney Ellen was very professional and she treated me with respect and dignity. I appreciate the fact that she keep me updated and always returned my calls. She listened to me and knew her work. I was divorced in 6 mo...nths. She is an awesome attorney. I have and would recommend her again, Thanks Attorney Ellen! My life is better.

Divorce and separation lawyer | Oct 13

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Whenever I have a question about a domestic relations matter, Ellen is the first person I consult. Illinois' laws have changed considerably over the past several years and I rely on Ellen to provide me with accurate information for my Clients. In those situations, where my Clients need an Attorney to handle a domestic relations matter, I consistently refer the Client to Ellen for representation. I think that Ellen is an exceptional young Attorney with knowledge and skills way beyond her years, and I would not hesitate to refer a Client to Ellen not only because of her knowledge and skills but because I know that she would be empathetic to their concerns and would be a zealous advocate for their rights. This is of particular importance to my Clients as they tend to be older and more fearful of attorneys and the legal system. I strongly endorse this Attorney."

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.
