Great Expericene

Mr Ely was great to work with in my divorce. He really understands how to take legal and complex terms and explain them to his clients.

An excellent attorney with intelligence and heart.

John represented me in my divorce, and, he did so with fairly and effectively. My divorce decree was drawn up timely and my petition through hearing went smoothly and effectively. I would strongly recommend John to anyone seeking an attorney that will represent you wisely and cost effectively.

Great attorney and counselor

John is a terrific attorney. He is knowledgeable, business savvy and temperate. As an attorney, I worked as a colleague of John. Later in business, John represented my company. I know first-hand that John does high quality legal work and provides sound advice. He is an asset to the clients he represe...nts.

Great Overall attorney

John has represented me on a number of matters over the past 6 years, including real estate/banking matters and family matters. On real estate matters, he has represented me against several banks on commercial real estate investments that have gone bad. John was very thorough and would provide dece...nt insight into the alternatives...and could translate from legal to laymen's language well. He was also very diligent and I never felt like we weren't well prepared. He also never attempted to over-do matters, advising me at times to be patient and wait. On the family matters, he helped us develop an estate plan, medical powers of attorney, wills, etc. Again, he was thorough and could explain issues in easy to understand manner. We came away from the family matters with a feeling of preparedness for the future.

You just can't get more knowledgeable or trustworthy representation

John is an excellent lawyer that has represented my family. He was an expert to deal with and was more than fair. I simply would not use any other lawyer for his area of expertise.

Thomas Carnes

Litigation lawyer | May 24

Relationship: Co-worker

"I have known John Ely for twenty years; we met when he was a law clerk at a firm where I was an associate, and continued to work together regularly when John became an associate as well. As a young lawyer, I had the opportunity to supervise John's work. I was so impressed with his work that after I left the firm to begin my own practice I invited John to partner with me, which he did. I know John to be an extremely thoughtful and effective lawyer in the business litigation and family law arenas. Since leaving the Houston area myself, I have regularly and will continue to refer matters to John. I can do so with confidence and without reservation. You could not ask for a smarter, more diligent, effective lawyer in any type of family law or business dispute."
