What clients are saying
about Ellen:
"Ellen treats her clients as if their successes are her own. It's like having an attorney for a partner. She is brilliant, attentive and fun, and the most available and responsive lawyer I can remember."
- John Assaraf,
Founder and CEO,
One Coach
"I have never had this feeling about an attorney before as I have about Ellen - where I wanted to so proactively involve her and solicit her involvement and where I can't wait to hand all our work over to her.
Ellen showed up with so much more than we expected - she blew the scale away!
By our third meeting, we said: Ellen has to be doing everything for us and taking the lead."
Ellen gives top quality legal and business knowledge, and has a depth of contacts, background and experience.
She really cares about us - and it was not about the billable hours. She was willing to support us in ways far beyond our expectations, and she did it in such a non-attorney way.
Right from the beginning, Ellen was humble, caring, warm-hearted, and sincere, going against the stereotypical image of most attorneys."
- Paul DeKleermaeker,
Shared Vision Network
"Ellen has the rare gift of thinking like a creative entrepreneur with the discipline of an attorney. With Ellen, you get much more than an attorney; you get an experienced business person. Ellen helped me to a solution that saved me money and literally 3-6 months time, plus she got me there quicker than I was heading to with anyone else. Ellen engages in a dialogue, not a monologue – and that is huge! Not only are Ellen’s questions great, she listens! She is quick and to the point, but she speaks to me like a human being, eye to eye, never trying to intimidate with her knowledge and expertise. Her questions are insightful and helped me focus. She guided me with a trusting, thoughtful approach."
Declan Dunn,
CEO R*I*G*H*T Now Institute
"Ellen is a terrific lawyer. It is an honor to
recommend her. She is very professional, a go-getter and an
excellent communicator.Ellen gets amazing
results. Ellen managed to get me a better infomercial
deal than I was going to sign. She got acceptance on every point in my
favor, which in my experience rarely ever happens. She also provided
excellent turnaround time.
None of the other attorneys I have worked with impressed me
as Ellen did. I would look to Ellen for any kind of
legal service. On a scale of 1 to 10, she is a 10.

" Ellen is brilliant, creative, generous, thoughtful, sincere, successful and has a high level of integrity and probably most important...she genuinely cares about the success of her clients.
I've been a client of Ellen's law firm on a few business deals and she not only helped us protect our intellectual property ideas but she also suggested ways to turn that IP into profit centers for our businesses. She is also very well connected and is constantly looking to introduce her clients to other high level people who will be a good fit for building your business/ideas. I am honored to consider Ellen a business associate and more importantly a friend. You won't find a classier person on the planet than Ellen."
