In over his head

Tom defended me sucessfully on another case and did a good job. But when it came to my DUI his representation was terrible. I had to concoct emotion did this mess. He presented it but didn't get behind it. Later I found out from other attorneys and the prosecutor that this motion should have won. He ...kept saying that my best deal was to spend between 13 and 17 months in prison. So I fired him and the other attorney got me off with no jail time. Do not use this man for major cases

Professional and knowledgeable

I have worked with Mr. Ellington on more than three different tickets and he has always been so professional and knowledgeable, and uses all of that knowledge to get me out of these stupid situations that I put myself in. What really wins me over is how I genuinely believe that he cares about my case... and about me as a person dealing with a rough situation. To this day I have no tickets on my record and I recommend this lawyer to everyone I know ESPECIALLY for DUI cases.
