This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Highly recommend Ellen's professional services

We have been very pleased with Ellen Stewart's services. She prepared our wills. Subsequently and over the years, she assisted each of our children with legal documents they needed when they turned 18. Each time, Ellen treated us with respect and confidentiality. She competently answered all ou...r questions clearly and in a way that we could understand. We particularly appreciated the transparency with which she informed us of each and every option, explained pros and cons, and gave us ample time to understand and ask questions. It was also easy to work with her staff in the multiple document exchanges our needs required. We have highly recommended her professional services to friends and family.

Will Probate

We sought professional advice from Ellen over a will probate. She provided us with valuable information, and we appreciated her professionalism and candor about our situation. She gave us the insight we needed to make some decisions during a difficult time. I highly recommend Ellen Stewart if you... are looking for an extremely knowledgeable lawyer that is trustworthy!

A TRUE PROFESSIONAL

Ellen Stewart and the Law Firm she represents was highly recommended by multiple people. The toughest challenge I will ever face in my life Ellen, took my case on and never looked back. Ellen never promised me anything but, watching Ellen do her job and the knowledge she brought to the table was unma...tched by any Attorney. Ellen believed in me and fought for me and told me "it's going to hurt" but, every time I would get down Ellen would bring me right back up and refused to let me stop fighting. When you hear the word "Attorney" you think money. Ellen puts her belief's and morals before any dollar figure. Honesty, compassionate, professional,fair, trustworthy is Ellen Stewart.

We highly recommend Ellen as a lawyer. She answered our questions and gave us information to help us come up with good decisions about our Trust and our Will.

Family estate and the moocher!

Ellen and her staff had a very difficult case to prove and win. Over a 3 year battle from the beginning, our previous law firm was not getting anywhere with this case. I called Mrs. Ellen Stewart and filled her in on the case. She began to tell us information that our previous firm never told us. Wit...hout going into a very long story about this case, and what Ellen Stewart did for us, I will just tell you this. I would not hesitate to call her again to represent us. And I pray that will never happen again. Thank you again Ellen and your staff for all the hard work. Sincerely, D.A.W

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
