Attorney Ellison was remarkable to work with. He is very responsive and attentive. He explained the legal process with every possible detail and was there for me every step of the way. He definitely cares about his clients and fights for the best outcome possible. I would highly recommend.

There was a warrant out for my arrest since 1993 and didn't know about it until I applied for citizenship and received a letter stating this. I live in Miami and contacted Mr. David Ellison In Providence Rhode Island, since this warrant was from there. Right away Mr Ellison started working on the case I was told by Mr. Ellison that I needed to go to Rhode Island and give myself up, in which I did. I didn't know exactly what was going to happen in court. To my amazement and shock my case was dismissed in a few minutes time. I would recommend Mr Ellison as a Professional that knows his job perfectly well and he is a wonderful human being, very understanding and very intelligent. I want to thank you so much Mr. Ellison for the great job you did. I really appreciate you as a professional and as a person Thank you again

I hired David Ellison to represent me in connection with a traffic violation case. David treated my case as being of utmost importance and did everything possible to secure the most favorable outcome of the case. David appeared with me in front of the judge and was able to negotiate the dismissal of the violation. Based on this experience, David proved to be an excellent negotiator as well as takes his clients’ interests very seriously. It was a pleasure working with David and I would highly recommend his services.

David Ellison was great! He had a few appointments today and made sure to fit me in his schedule before hand. He made sure to go over everything with me so he knew what he was dealing with. Also the result was greater than I had expected! I was in jeopardy of having my license suspended and ended up having my speeding ticket thrown out completely and only having to pay court cost! Overall positive results and hopefully I wouldn’t have to but I would definitely hire him again in the future if anything came up.

We had a great experience working with David Ellison. He was personable, flexible, easy to work with, competent, knowledgeable, responsive and trustworthy. We contacted him on a Friday about a traffic tribunal trial on Monday and he didn't hesitate to take our case and work with us over the weekend and after hours. He went over and above what I would consider his realm of responsibility to work with and counsel our son. The outcome he helped to achieve was better than what we had hoped. Thank you, David!

He is a great attorney and very professional. He was very attentive to the case and on top of everything that needed to be done. Always on time and very reliable. On point with documents and follow ups as well. We did receive a great result with his representation. I will recommend him to anyone for representation in a court room or advice.

I got assigned David Ellison in the court by what must have been an act of God. He understood that I had no experience in the court system and worked with me to explain everything clearly and concisely to make sure I knew exactly what was going on the entire time. He always made sure I felt supported, informed, and heard and listened and answered any questions I had. I also have anxiety and ADHD: he made sure I understood everything together before moving forward in the court which helped me weigh all of my options in a way that made sense to me and eased my discomfort and anxiety. All around a really fantastic lawyer and I was extremely lucky to work with him!

Having never been involved with law before, being on the receiving end of something can be impossibly scary. David guided me through the entire process and at each step I felt like I was informed and supported. I got the outcome we had predicted would happen, a positive one, and would recommend him to anyone without skipping a beat.
