Rhonda Diane Ellifritz

I am Rhonda’s actual client and have nothing but great things to say about her. I brought her on to my case in June 2020 in the midst of the pandemic and she was incredibly compassionate and empathetic with my situation. My ex was withholding financial information and after filing my own response and... paperwork I realized very quickly that this situation would cause for more than just self representation. He dragged on our proceedings by stating “he didn’t know” on more than one occasion to the judge, filled out his own paperwork incorrectly, didn’t follow court procedures with serving paperwork to my attorney and has in general been very verbally abusive and accusatory in declarations presented to the court that were false and had no relevance to the case further dragging things along. All the while Rhonda has been encouraging and supportive and reminding me of what is actually important to getting things finished. She did not allow me to get caught up in the drama with my ex and instead helped me focus on what mattered most, my kids. She negotiated a very fair custody and visitation agreement that benefitted both parents equally, got us signed up with Our Family Wizard to communicate about the kids, recommended a book on how to interact with each other in our high conflict divorce and even negotiated our financial disagreements in a fair manner. The only real delay in our proceedings were due to Covid related court dates (2020/2021) and then lack of preparedness by my ex who was self represented. Divorce paperwork was filed by my ex in June 2019 and our first original court date wasn’t scheduled until March 2020 which was delayed by Covid until October 2020. CNV was completed in October 2020 and the only thing left were financials which took all of 2021 to get finalized at no fault of Rhonda’s. I am very satisfied and happy with her work and encourage you to give her a call to see if she is the right fit for you. Don’t be swayed by anonymous reviewers pretending to be her clients. She puts your kids first and that’s most important.

She has been my attorney for over two years . She’s very experienced, knowledgeable and professional. She can be very tough in a situation that she needs to be. But she has a very kind and warm personality. She’s been helping me getting through a tough time I’m going through right now. She listens to... me in compassion and consults me with her great judgements. Also, she tries to accommodate my needs in various situations. She always tries her best. She really cares about her clients. I highly recommend her. She is the best attorney.

I had Rhonda as my attorney several years ago where she did a great job! Years later, after my husband was arrested for not paying child support and Alimony, he served me a motion to modify support yet again. With such short notice she was unable to actually come to Court but was so sweet she sent me... all the necessary documents for court the next day. To boot she ended up showing up at court but missed me by minutes. She is an excellent attorney and I call her my friend!

Rhonda knows what works and what doesn’t. Divorce is super stressful and it’s hard to see clearly. I’ve had moments where I’ve freaked out and wanted to file things out of emotional reactions and Rhonda would warn against it and explain why it wouldn’t work. Once I didn’t listen and it turned out jus...t as she said it would. If you have kids, it makes divorce even tougher as you feel like you’re losing your children. Ms. Ellifritz really cares about kids and the courts only care about the kids as well. The court won’t really care about you or your ex. It’s hard to find a lawyer that truly has your best interest in mind. If you want someone on your team that will work for your best interest (since the court won’t) than this is the attorney for you. She is well respected and you’ll have a better outcome.
