Honest, Fair, and Highly Skilled Lawyer

Ellie Sweeney is an exceptional lawyer—responsive, transparent, and fair. She helped me with consultations and filing an RFO, always following up and giving honest advice. Unlike many lawyers who charge full price regardless of who does the work, Ellie only charges her rate for her time and bills her... assistant’s rate when they work with me, which is incredibly fair. She also helped me craft responses to my ex, making negotiations smoother while prioritizing my daughter’s well-being. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable family attorney who truly understands the court system and judges, Ellie is the real deal. Highly recommended!

Amazing Lawyer

I hired Ellie Sweeney from the law offices of Michele Gibson in Encino to represent me in my divorce. She was recommended to me by a friend and I am very happy that I hired her. My Divorce turned out to be high conflict and was taken much further than it needed to go as we came to an agreement rega...rding the custody of our child early on in the proceedings. Ellie works very closely with Michele and they took the fear and uncertainty about my future away at our very first meeting. I left their office feeling positive about my situation for the first time in months. Throughout my divorce Ellie had to deal with two lawyers hired by my ex husband that she faced with courage and professionalism at all times. I always felt she did her best for me and was pleased with the outcome of my divorce as I felt it was fair. I would highly recommend either Michelle Gibson or Ellie Sweeney to anyone going through a divorce and custody situation and will not hesitate to contact them again in the future should my situation change.

Fantastic Lawyer!

Ellie worked tirelessly on my divorce case for over two years. Her knowledge of the case and Family Law enabled her to always make confident predictions, which was very calming and reassuring throughout this exasperating process. Her dedication and hard work led to the best positive outcome in my cas...e. I think Ellie is amazing lawyer and recommend her without any reservations!

Jelisaveta Ellie Sweeney

Jelisaveta is one of the most amazing attorney's I have ever met. I was going through a terrible 3 year divorce. All the other attorney's only cared about racking up more fees. Not settling. A friend of mine recommended Jelisaveta. She was there for me 100%. She tried her best to keep fees down. Sh...e is very compassionate, smart, and knows which angel to approach any situation. These women are kind "Pit Bulls with Lipstick". When we finally went to trial, I will never forget Jelisaveta words "I am worried about you, do not worry. I have your back". She most certainly did. After my case if I was her I would quit! It was the biggest nightmare ever, and she stood by my side and made sure we prevailed. I strongly recommend her.

Awesome

Ellie helped write my response in the child custody case and SHE did the best declaration. She is understanding and pays attention to details that got me the increase of time with my child. She is caring and skillful. She is extremely nice and patient. She is at Gibson Law firm , Encino CA.
