Friendly professional and effective

Fantastic experience. Communication was spot on from the beginning, never wasted a minute. we evaluated the best options and strategy for my case and we were able to get it resolved quickly and effectively. I was kept informed every step of the way as to my choices and the potential consequences of t...hose choices. Couldn’t be happier with my choice of attorney.

She works miracles

I hired Ellysa Hendricson in 2021 after a terrible misunderstanding that lead to two separate cases being filed against me. I have severe physical disabilities that in part caused the trouble. Elly was unbelievable, so understanding and determined to see the cases dismissed! She helped me reach a fe...e for her amazing representation that was actually really better than good, she helped us by making her fee payable on a fixed income. She was able to take the medical issues that in part, caused this trouble, and turn them into a defense! She worked a miracle for me. Without her amazing skills, I am sure the outcome would have been terrible as would have been the sentencing. Elly gave me and my husband a sense of comfort and peace during that terribly upsetting time. I trusted her completely every step of the way! She was honest, upfront and there for any questions we had pre, during and post conclusion. She truly cares about you as a person and deeply cares about the outcome of your case! I hired an attorney, not knowing what to expect. I was amazed at the immediate intense attention my case and I received. I had her arm around my shoulder and a lion at my back! I cannot recommend her any higher! I would never be here at home able to write this without that friend and lion. I am eternally grateful!! Rest assured, once you have hired Elyssa Hendricson and the wonderful team she works with, she will work tirelessly, from working out a stunning plea deal or taking your case to jury trial if it is in your best interest. In any case she is the attorney I will always turn to. She worked a miracle for me, I’m sure she does for all her fortunate clients!

Great support!

Elly was a tremendous help with our situation, I could not have asked for a better result. She was honest, clear and forthcoming but also strategic in approach to the case having a diversified experience as a prosecutor as well. In addition, she occasionally stepped outside her role to direct me to p...roper resources for out of scope questions. That was well above and beyond. You are in great hands with Elly and the Intermountain Legal Team.
