Ellie’s practice focuses on construction law and litigation and employment-related matters. In addition, she represents companies in issues related to Minority, Woman, and Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Certification. Ellie is an experienced litigator and has handled numerous high-stakes, complex commercial and construction disputes. She has appeared on behalf of clients in Washington state trial and appellate court, federal court, the Board of Contract Appeals, and private arbitration. In addition, she has successfully negotiated multiple seven-figure settlements. Prior to joining Ahlers & Cressman, Ellie spent six years litigating with a boutique Seattle trial firm and clerked for the Honorable Joel M. Penoyar at the Washington State Court of Appeals. Ellie has been named a “Rising Star” by Washington Law and Politics, an award limited to the top 2.5% of attorneys under the age of 40, in 2014 and 2015. Ellie is a member of the William L. Dwyer Inn of Court and an active member of the community. She was on the Washington Women Lawyers' Board of Directors; has presented at the WSBA Construction Law Annual Seminar and to numerous industry groups (the National Association of Women in Construction, National Electrical Contractors Association); and she is the co-author of the Washington Lawyers Practice Manual, Construction Law Chapter. Ellie is also deeply committed to social justice. As a pro bono attorney for the Volunteer Advocates for Immigrant Justice, she obtained permanent residency for an undocumented Guatemalan child on the basis of neglect and abandonment.
