George William Ellard

Although it may be a late review being that he took my case in 1996 after the death of my baby, I wanted to at least have something to say about how he strung me along before dismissing himself from my case 2 weeks before the statute of limitations. I only had 2 conversations with him, once at the be...ginning and a couple of years later when he told me he wasn't moving forward. I was young and dumb and assumed he was working my case the entire time. Being that there was no internet like there is now, I was not able to research and I really didn't have much of a voice. You can see the case information with Fresno County Superior Court.

George handled everything from the interview to settlement. Throughout the process, I always felt I was in good hands. At the consultation, George took the time to understand the case, including my priorities and concerns. He tailored his communication to my needs. He was immediately able to walk me ...through the most likely courses the case would take, and this ended up being accurate. Where we had choices for how to proceed, I was presented with clear alternatives, and it was up to me. Other than that, I let him handle everything. He was always available by email or by phone within 1 day, even when he had other trials going on. The experts he hired to add specialized knowledge were appropriate. With George, I felt protected from the messy and frustrating aspects of this process. I just had to show up, and tell my story, as needed. In documents he prepared, conversations and meetings we had, it was clear that he took the time to understand the details of the case inside and out. It became clear that the other side was not reasonable, and I was glad to have George there to give them a dose of reality. I felt confident that we arrived at an optimal outcome. I am glad I hired George.
