A True Advocate Who Fights for Her Clients

We cannot say enough good things about Ellen and her team. What we were told would be a minimum six-month probation ended in just four months because she fought hard for our son every step of the way. Ellen went far above and beyond what we ever expected from an attorney. When the probation office...r was unfair or overreaching, she didn’t hesitate to push back and request court dates. She made sure our son was treated fairly and that his progress was recognized. She always made herself available to answer our questions or address concerns, and she truly stood beside us throughout the entire process. Most importantly, she made our son feel comfortable and supported, which is not easy. Her passion, dedication, and genuine care are unmatched. Her assistant, Heather, was also incredible. No matter the time or day, she was responsive, kind, and helpful. They truly make a dynamic team. Anyone who has Ellen on their side is incredibly blessed to have her in their corner. We are beyond grateful. Thank you, Ellen, for fighting for our son, for believing in him, and for helping him move forward with a clean slate. We will never forget what you’ve done for our family.

Positive, articulate and very professional!

Ellen was able to get my charges dropped and save me a bunch of headaches and money! Each time we spoke over the phone and in person she was very articulate and made sure to know that I knew exactly what was going on with my case. She assured me that everything was going to be okay, and you know what...? Everything turned out just fine. Grade A professional. Highly recommend.

Great lawyer!

Naturaly court appointed attorney's don't try very hard to get your charges dropped or even lowered but Ellen went above and beyond to help me with my case to get it dismissed due to the whole situation. I would highly reccomend her to anyone! Thank you Ellen!

Excellent attorney who cares about her clients.

Ms Yeoman is an excellent attorney who demonstrates compassion and empathy for her clients which isn’t something that’s always demonstrated by defense attorneys. She is willing to put in extra time and effort to help her clients get through their situation with the best possible outcome. I made the... mistake of hiring a “high dollar defense attorney” to help me first, and that proved to be a mistake. If I had hired Ms Yeoman first, I would be in a better situation now, and I wouldn’t have wasted almost $10,000.

Absolutely wonderful experience!

Ellen took my case on as a court appointed attorney after the first one I had was pushing me to take a pleas deal I wanted nothing to do with. My case was not in Ellen’s area of expertise but she worked incredibly hard to find out everything she possibly could and help me any way she could. She reall...y made the whole process (almost a year) so easy and stress free. We ended up taking the case to the end and came out on top. would recommend her to anyone no matter what the situation is.

"Ellen and I have worked for several years together and I highly recommend her skills and experience as an attorney. Not only does Ellen do an excellent job preparing her cases and arguing before the court, she also works behind the scenes in negotiations with the District Attorney to avoid the need to go to trial."

"I have been actively following Ellen’s practice since she began. I have been in the courtroom when she has argued for her clients, consulted with her about cases, co-counseled with her and referred cases to her. Throughout, I have been impressed. She has a unique ability to empathize with, and then advocate for, her clients. Ellen is dedicated to finding the best solution for each client and pursuing that to plea or trial. Judges respect her as an excellent advocate and prosecutors know that she is not afraid to go to trial if necessary."
