Ellen B. Politano

I cannot say enough about the incredible work my attorney, Ellen, has done for me throughout an extremely complex and emotionally challenging divorce and custody case. From the beginning, she stepped into a situation that was already tangled, high conflict, and overwhelming, and she handled every sin...gle detail with exceptional expertise, patience, and professionalism. She consistently fought for what was right for my children and provided clear guidance when everything felt confusing and stressful. Ellen was thorough, strategic, and never missed a detail, no matter how many moving parts there were. Most importantly, she approached my case with compassion. I always felt that she genuinely cared about my family’s well being, not just the legal outcome. If you are going through a complicated divorce or custody dispute and need someone who is both brilliant and deeply dedicated, I cannot recommend her enough. I am so grateful for her hard work and unwavering commitment. She got us through one of the hardest seasons of our lives, and I will always be thankful.

Ellen led me through one of life's most daunting, overwhelming, and turbulent events with absolute expertise and full command of the process from A to Z. She is tough, compassionate, creative, dedicated, incredibly knowledgable, and truly gives her heart and soul in reaching the best possible outcome....

Ellen represented me during my divorce and during custody modification trial. I felt very fortunate that another lawyer referred me to her because she was the best match for me. Ellen was not only empathetic to me, but she also was very respectful to the other party. Ellen used her knowledge of Psych...ology when arguing her cases and I saw respect that Judges had for her. Ellen made herself available for a client if the issue was urgent. I felt that Ellen became more of a friend and an advocate to me rather than just a lawyer and I trusted her advise like no one else's. Ellen is a great listener and she always tried to explain the reasoning for her suggestions and judge's decisions. I heard stories from other people describing their relationships with lawyers and none of them sounded like what I have experienced with Ellen. If I were to ever become a lawyer myself I would want to be like Ellen because her professional and personal integrity is solid as a rock.

Two of my longtime friends/patients, both attorneys, referred me to Ellen Politano because their association with both parties involved in my divorce prevented them from representing me. Knowing me and my situation well, they felt it would be beneficial for me to be represented by a woman who had bo...th strength and compassion, and that Ms. Politano would be a good match, and handle my case well. Though very busy at the time, Ms. Politano took me on as her client, at my attorney friends’ request. This was a non-melodious, gut-wrenching, rather drawn-out situation, following a long marriage, with complex property division issues. Ms. Politano provided legal expertise with endless strong positive energy, efficiency and structure, while being sympathetic to my situation and feelings, with realistic advice and guidance—a remarkable feat, given my sensitivity and disposition. Working closely together, and through mediation, we achieved a favorable outcome most had not felt was possible in my scenario. A hard-working dedicated professional and very actively involved single parent, who also makes time to provide assistance to those in need, attorney Ellen Politano deserves the highest recommendation possible. t.d.

I've used Ellen Politano for 3 cases, the initial divorce and two post divorce relief Motions my ex filed against me. For all 3 cases I prevailed with the thoughtful approach and skills that Politano brought to the table. She's fair in her strategy and competent in a courtroom. She's been practicing ...for over 20 years and is familiar with judges style which helps tremendously in planning for a strategy to win your case. I would continue to use and recommend her to new clients. She's a local girl and puts you at ease. Hilo you should be proud.
