This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Not worth it

I was very disappointed with her performance. She didn't seem to have even listened to what I had told her before court. She was visibility nervous and her hands were shaking during proceedings, she didn't make sense when she spoke. I actually think she made me look worse and negatively impacted my ...case more than anything. I don't need to pay someone to act confused, disoriented, and talk in circles; I can do that just fine on my own.

Find someone else

She quit as my lawyer because I stood my ground on principle. Failed to properly argue on my behalf regarding maintenance payments. Not aggressive enough. In my case I'm pursuing primary placement of my kids, she did not seem to like the idea of a father getting the kids.

Reasonably good attorney

I used Ms. Frantz to handle a divorce. She was nice, but I was disappointed with her creativity, initiative, knowledge and follow through.

"Ellen is extremely knowledgable about both substantive and procedural law, the players in the system and how to work things to achieve good outcomes for clients. Her client reviews to date are extremely misleading. She would be on my list of attorneys to consider if I were ever in a pinch."
