Very knowledgeable
I had a question I have been having trouble with for a couple of days. A legal question about garnishments. Not only did he answer my question be he quoted the law to support the answer.

A pleasure
I spoke with Andrew about the possibility of filing for BK. He was extremely knowledgeable and a pleasure to speak with. In the end, he gave me enough information to make an informed decision not to file BK. He spent 30 minutes on the phone with me with knowing I wouldn't need his service and still gave me his full attention as well as future advice on my financial situation. I will recommend Andrew to anyone I come across in the future who will be in need of this type of service. I strongly recommend his service. He is a very genuine person who cares.

MORE than HIGHLY RECOMMEND Mr. Andrew M. Ellis
I didn't do my homework before filing for bankruptcy and made the decision to hire a firm based on their very low bankruptcy fee, it was a very bad decision and my experience was terrible. In the first stages of the bankruptcy I experienced a high level of unprofessionalism that I made the decision to contact Andrew. From the first meeting before even hiring Andrew we had a very detailed conversation about his philosophy about how he goes about his work ethics and how he handles the process of bankruptcy. It took me some time before I officially hired Andrew since I was dealing with a mess from the other firm, but he was still there to answer any questions for me throughout my decision process. I finally hired Andrew and from beginning to end it was nothing but professionalism, courtesy, and outstanding organization skills. When I did have doubts about making my final decision in the bankruptcy process and assessing my situation he gave me honest advice with a sense of the effects that my decision would have on my financial future in a positive light. I thank Andrew for where I am financially today and highly recommend him to anyone that is looking for a lawyer that goes about his profession with a high level of knowledge and integrity.

Highly Recommendable
Andrew made a very difficult decision easy and comfortable for me. I had several reservations about filing for bankruptcy, mostly my pride, but through his counseling and understanding he made me very comfortable with my decision. Throughout the entire process, he and Claire (his paralegal) kept me informed and answered any and all questions I had. They operated in a very timely, efficient, and professional manner from beginning to end. I have, and will continue to, recommend him to anyone I know who is dealing with financial hardships. Best decision I ever made was hiring Andrew to help me through my bankruptcy.

Exceptional Attorney
Andrew is an excellent attorney. His expertise in bankruptcy law and debt counseling is unmatched by competing attorneys. When filing bankruptcy or looking for advice and direction with debt, it is imperative an attorney has your best interest in mind. Many attorneys fail to be a friend when one is needed most. Andrew has a moral capacity to always put his client first, looking for the best possible solution, while eliminating unnecessary fees other attorneys often charge. If your looking for an exceptional attorney with the necessary experience needed for bankruptcy and debt counseling, look no further, Andrew Ellis is your man.

Disappointed
Andrew agreed to handle a collection case for us and told us he would provide updates on a monthly basis. 3+ months later no response or communications from him. As such we have terminated our agreement with him.
