This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

A man who articulates well and makes himself available.

Mr. Ellsworth is extremely knowledgeable and a solid attorney. Hired him for our mother’s estate and am so grateful for his wisdom. Richard is a God sent.

I don’t recommend at all

His lack of communication , never call backs used threatening illegal antics to scare clients.. corruption at its finest . I don’t recommend he may be cheap but go to someone that has a heart and not a ugly heart.

Never calls back , no communication

Very unprofessional, his legal assistant the same . They don’t pick -up the phones , they don’t call back. Be aware - very unprofessional.

This man is a poor excuse for a legal representative

My family hired Richard Ellsworth to handle our legal issues concerning the property that we renovated and rented out. When the tenants stopped paying rent, Mr. Ellsworth promised my family that they would be evicted, and we would be compensated for the overdue rent fees. While Mr. Ellsworth did put... forth some effort, he never came through on his legal promises. Even after he made specific promises directly to me, he continued on with his deception and dishonesty. A problem that should have been solved eight years ago is still unresolved and being ignored due to Richard Ellsworth’s deceitful and insidious nature Hopefully this review will encourage Mr. Ellsworth to make things right.
