John Harlan Ely's Lawyer Endorsements
"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."
