Very Fortunate to Have Had Ellen Ross in My Corner!

My divorce was extremely complicated and was very lengthy due to issues with my ex, as he did not want to comply or cooperate in any manner. I researched lawyers in the area and a friend referred me to Ellen. She was very thorough and always looking out for my best interest and my children's best int...erest. She communicated consistently through email and phone calls, and always replied within 24 hours. Her fees were also lower than other lawyers in the area. She was able to find a fine balance between what direction/approach she thought we should take based on her professional experience and knowledge, along with my needs and my children's needs. She always broke down what possible outcomes we could face, based on all of the possible strategies we could use. She did her research on opposing lawyers and the judges, and considered that as we built out case. She was always professional in court, and consistently made thorough and detailed arguments that could always be backed up with numerous pieces of evidence. No matter how emotionally drained I was, she made sure that I continued to fight for what was right and justified, and in the best interest of my kids. After seeing the outcome of the case and how much Ellen was able to successfully argue and prove my points, many other people who were in the same situation as me asked how we went about doing things and how they too could be so successful with handling a divorce. A few of these people even asked for Ellen's information to contact her regarding their issues. I would gladly pass Ellen's info on to anyone who requested it. I myself will most likely contact Ellen again when I move forward with my Living Will.

She's a star!

Ellen has been a great find! She has made feel like a friend instead of just a client. She answered all my questions about my divorce case and helped me understand just how the process works. Ellen is very thorough and provides a quick response. She fought for everything I was entitled to and nev...er compromised along the way. If you are looking for the best in legal representation, Ellen is the one for you. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to my family or friends.
