Highly recommend!

Ellen represented me in my recent order of protection case. Her professionalism and expertise were invaluable assets throughout this challenging process. Prior to each hearing, I experienced significant anxiety. Ellen was able to skillfully navigate these concerns and help ease my anxieties. Her c...alm demeanor and clear communication instilled confidence, and her ability to explain complex legal matters in a straightforward manner was truly appreciated. While Ellen always maintained the utmost professionalism, she also possessed a genuine empathy for my situation. This combination of legal expertise and personal understanding made me feel truly supported throughout the process. Ultimately, Ellen secured a favorable outcome in my case, granting me the order of protection and restoring a sense of safety and security for both me and my child. I am incredibly grateful for her dedication and unwavering commitment to achieving the best possible result. Without hesitation, I highly recommend Ellen to anyone seeking legal representation in a similar situation. Her expertise, professionalism, and genuine care for her clients make her an exceptional attorney.

Just Don't

Difficult to get a hold of. Would not return messages left. Rarely followed up on commitments. Did not meet promised deadlines.

Excellent divorce lawyer.

Ellen was professional and precise when working against my ex wife's shady attorney. We remained calm and collected against multiple threats from the other attorney and ended coming out way ahead in my opinion. The divorce and alimony laws in Illinois are terrible, but I was happy with the outcome t...hat Ellen was able to provide. She remained professional even when her counterpart did not and I appreciate that.

Efficient and effective

I hired Ellen Beattie to represent me in determining payments for post-secondary educational expenses for my children in a divorce case. Ellen was able to take my case on a very short notice --- just a day before a scheduled hearing. Thank you, Ellen! The matter was settled to my satisfaction within ...a couple of weeks. Throughout my interactions with Ellen, she was highly professional, knowledgeable, efficient, and effective.

Excellent

Ellen has done 4 closings for me and taken care of my wills. She has always been very honest and helpful. Definitely will use her for any future needs.
