What people are saying:

"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.

What people are saying:

 

"Ellen has sincerity, caring and a passion for us to succeed. Ellen is a team player; she's in it for everyone to win.  It's not just words...it's from her heart...and it's much more than money can buy.  She goes beyond the call of duty.  She plays full-out and gives full out! 

 

Ellen  is an outstanding attorney - very knowledgeable and wise.  Beyond her extensive legal background, she brings something you can't buy which is intuitive wisdom

 

We feel honored and excited to have Ellen in our life.  She exceeded our expectations. She is more than an attorney; Ellen's a wise sage.

 

If we need another attorney on our team, the first person I would check with would be Ellen.  Ellen would be my top-level legal advisor.  If she couldn't handle our needs herself, she would find the best in the business for us."

  Ken Foster, Best-selling author of Ask and You Will Succeed; CEO, Shared Vision Network.

"I've been lucky to know Ellen Stiefler as a friend for more than 18 years.  Ellen is one of the few lawyers I know who combines a great heart with a great mind.  Her ability to develop strong personal relationships with clients is unique in her profession.  It's the basis for the strong bond of trust that exists with each of the clients she represents"

-- Leslie S. Biller, Vice Chairman and Chief Operating Officer, Retired, Wells Fargo & Company, Director, PG&E Corp.,  Knowledge Schools, Inc. and Ecolab, Inc

 


.

"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

"In the sea of lawyers, Ellen has a rare quality I haven't seen in other lawyers. She has human understanding that far exceeds just knowing legal issues

 

Ellen always employs diplomacy in whatever she does.  Ellen is very human and, at the same time, she knows her stuff, and she is a professional, kick-ass lawyer who knows how to get things done. 

 

Ellen's overall knowledge and her ability to problem solve transcend all of the stereotypical legal barriers and restrictions that most lawyers have in terms of their protocol. 

 

I truly believe what I tell her… 'You’re an angel' and I mean that both literally and figuratively.  I feel very fortunate that our paths have crossed and she is in my corner"
