He's the man for the job

Mr Ellison is very skilled in what he does. I hired him on a third DWI, with two enhancements that led to a habitual offender starting at 25-99 or life. He filed all the necessary motions and memorandums On time always kept me up to date with the events occuring. VERY HONEST, STRAIGHT FOWARD PROFESSI...ONAL. HE GOT ME 5 YRS PROBATION. NOT TO MENTION REINSTATED ON PAROLE,AND WITH A GREAT CHANCE ON SUCCEDING ON APPPEAL. EXCELLENT STAFF SHOUT OUT TO SONYA. ALWAYS HEARD ME OUT. SCOTT IS THE MAN TO GET!!!!!!!!!

Very professional. Don’t have enough words to thank Scott. I was in deep legal problems! Had two major drug indictments in two different states, fugitive for almost 10 years. Scott fought for my rights in Pennsylvania ,got me a sweet deal without me saying a word! Had the Houston case dismissed. Just... recently he helped me release from probation... Scott gave me all the right advice which in return saved me and my family years of hardship! Thx Mr. Scott Ellison

My husband heard about this attorney, so we got an appt. to meet with him and he was extremely wonderful. Mr. Ellison got my husband the least possible time he could get for his drug charges. Thank you again to the Law Office of Scott M. Ellison.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
