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.

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.
