Fantastic service

We sought Ellen's help with drafting wills and related financial and health care documents during the time that my husband was terminally ill. She explained our options thoroughly, offered thoughtful suggestions that were perfectly in line with our needs, and finished everything quickly and accurate...ly. She even brought witnesses to our home when it was time to sign. Flawless transaction

REVIEW

I'm landlord by mistake of economy. Bought house in 2007, my company closed Champaign office. I had to relocate. Instead of doing foreclosure I rented house. Renters turned to be crooks and stopped paying rent and rejected  to move out of my property. I contacted Ellen Beattie for legal advise to ...evict them. She charged me $270 for 5day notice (which can be found on google search) and another couple of 100's for emails. Then she stopped to reply to emails. Shame.

Prompt and Expert Assistance

Ellen prepared a will and living trust for our family during a very stressful time when we needed expert and quick guidance. She was responsive and always available for questions, and came to us so that the documents could be executed. The person for whom she drafted the will was too physically ill... to travel to her. She made sure that every base was covered, and she was there to answer our estate questions in the months following the family member's death. We were very fortunate to have her guidance and compassion during such a difficult time. I would highly recommed her services. She is also tenacious and fights for her clients. You know she's on your side.
