Ellen Rhodeman

I could not be more pleased with the service I received from Attorney Ellen Rhodeman. I specifically wanted an attorney that would not be a pushover, and Ellen Rhodeman did not disappoint. She has excellent communication, is extremely knowledgeable, and made the divorce process easier than I ever... though it could be. Ellen is supportive and has a calm, reassuring manner. Additionally, her services were very affordable. I highly reccomend her services!

I recently went through a divorce. I chose Attorney Ellen Rhodeman based on research and online reviews. She did not disappoint.                   Attorney Rhodeman was very pleasant to deal with while going through a difficult situation. She was attentive and understanding. I was treated with pat...ience and always had things explained to me if I did not understand something. One thing that I valued greatly was her willingness to always tell you what you need to hear, whether good or bad. She was “real” with me about expectations and outcomes and helped me to weigh my options and risks in order to try to secure the best outcome for me.                   Attorney Rhodeman has an excellent knowledge base on which to draw from when representing someone. I can objectively state that I believe that I had the better representation in my case. She was not only familiar with the laws of the state, but also the various judges and jurisdictions and what likely outcomes could be possible based on those variables. This was all very evident in her performance as my counsel.                   Having never gone through a divorce before, I was also unaware of some things that need to be done after the divorce is finalized. Getting set up for a home refinance, or setting up child support, can be confusing. Attorney Rhodeman has helped navigate these post divorce issues with the same quality of service that she provided during the duration of the divorce process. I did not feel “abandoned” once court was over and the divorce was final.                   I would recommend Attorney Rhodeman to friends and family without hesitation.  

I highly recommend Ellen Rhodeman with Sterling Law Offices. She was professional but sympathetic, knowledgeable but was willing to research if needed for unusual issues, was organized plus has additional staff members to assist if warranted. In this new era of Covid, she will still meet with clien...ts in person if requested. Divorce is a difficult process for anyone to go through and a client needs to be knowledgeable and thorough communicating their own financial and personal circumstances. Ellen listened and asked questions to view a complete picture of my circumstances. She helped me navigate through this difficult time in my life with a sense of humor, empathy and a positive outlook; if you require representation contact Ellen Rhodeman!

I am a practicing attorney of 15 years in New England and had a custody transfer issue in the Chicago area that I needed local counsel help with. Ellen handled my case with efficiency and professionalism beyond her years. She was timely, attentive, skillful and brought my case to resolution in a fr...action of the time I expected. She is a gem.
