The best lawyer in the whole wide world!

Ellen Politano has character, integrity, professionalism and compassion for her clients. It was because of her vast knowledge and expertise that enabled her to fight for me and my 7 year old daughter. My main goal was to have sole physical custody and I got her when all other consults told me I had... a weak case....She is genuine and an expert at her craft. I highly recommend her if you are looking for a divorce lawyer.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
