Professional, Candid, Reliable
Ellen assisted us with a somewhat unique, complex situation with a UCC title lien. She provided great advice and was able to resolve the matter in a very short amount of time, over the holidays. I highly recommend Ellen.

Ellen K. Lawson's Lawyer Endorsements
"I have referred several clients to Ellen for help with loan modifications. She is extremely responsive and efficient, and has achieved successful loan modifications for clients who I am certain would not have been able to achieve them on their own. I am so happy to be able to refer clients to Ellen because I am confident that she will do everything possible to ensure a successful outcome. Feedback from my clients is always positive."
"I endorse this lawyer. Ellen is an excellent attorney and is highly skilled at addressing her clients underlying needs in a clear and effective manner."
"I have had the pleasure of working with Ellen over the past five years on Mortgage Modifications for my Chapter 13 Bankruptcy Clients. Ellen is excellent. She thoroughly reviews the Client's mortgages and gives them options on how to handle mortgage issues. In mediations with mortgage lenders, she is persistent and always prepared. Her success rate with my Clients is 100% on modifying their mortgages; some of which I would have guessed were not otherwise going to get the modifications."
"I wholeheartedly endorse Ellen Lawson. Ms. Lawson is a skilled negotiator and mediator, and a real pleasure to work with."
"I have known Ellen for many years and highly recommend her. Over the years I have referred many potential clients to Ellen because I know she will treat them with respect and take excellent care of them."

"Ms. Lawson is a valuable asset to this community. Her continuing dedication to the law and her clients is admirable."
"Ellen is amazing. We've worked together on a few cases and I've always been impressed. A lot of times my bankruptcy clients need a loan modification to make their reorganization under Chapter 13 feasible; Ellen can make that happen. And, if a loan modification is not practical, she lets us know right away and does not not waste my clients' time or money."
"I was given Ellen's name a number of years ago by another lawyer I know and respect. Since that time I have referred quite a few matters to Ellen and she has done a great job for those clients. Ellen cares about her clients and does everything she can to get the best results for them."
"I have known Ms. Lawson professionally for over 10 years and know her to be an outstanding attorney who consistently gets results for her clients. I know of a number of cases she has been involved in where she has literally saved her clients tens of thousands of dollars and also where she has been savvy enough to protect her clients from being scammed. I would not hesitate to recommend Ms. Lawson to anyone who has a real estate need in the area of loan modification, short sales, debt settlement, foreclosure avoidance or similarly relate issues."
"I endorse this lawyer. Attorney Lawson is one of the finest attorneys in her state. I highly recommend her legal services."
"Ellen and I volunteer together for the Arizona State Bar's Lawyers-on-Call (real estate) program. Since then, I have had the pleasure of meeting Ellen on several occasions, and I always walk away learning something new about foreclosures and short sales. I think highly of Ellen."
"Top-notch attorney. Highly respected in the legal community."
