After depending on a different lawyer to represent me in my custody case, I knew I needed an upgrade and fortunately I found Ellen. She was easy to get ahold of when needed, she was candid about what I was doing wrong / should or shouldn't be doing, she followed up with opposing counsel frequently, and her knowledge and confidence in every situation put me at ease during stressful times. Most importantly, Ellen had clear communication and understanding of my needs and concerns in the courtroom, in mediation and dealing with opposing counsel one on one.

Ellen is the best attorney for disputes with your ex. She is real, down to earth, on top of her game and best of all takes no s**t from another attorney. She has no fear in calling out another attorney for lying or being shady. I am so happy with our decision to hire Ellen for our family court needs.

I contacted Ellen in March of 2019. She told me it would be approximately 6- 9 months not knowing for sure since this was during COVID-19. It was completed in 8 months and I was very happy with the outcome. She directed me in every area that was presented. She fights for your interests and she was always prepared and thorough and explain to me what to expect. I am very happy with the results. I would definitely recommend her firm.

Initially, I consulted with Ellen on 09/2019. Prior to actually understanding the complexity of a contested divorce. After talking with several attorneys over a few weeks, Ellen stood out above the rest. Not only did she and her Paralegal, Gina, answer every question I asked. She also anticipated and answered the questions I didn't know to ask. Ellen set me up with the right expectations at the beginning of the process and met every challenge head-on. There were several events that happened during my divorce process (my ex-spouse's attorney passed away 2 days after he was hired), but each time Ellen was able to pivot our strategy, communicate with me and ultimately guide us through to a successful ending. Ellen has been doing this for a long time, her expertise, professionalism, no-nonsense approach, candor, and ability to navigate her clients through probably the toughest process we will ever go through, shows that she is exactly what her website says "the divorce guru". She is and will continue to be the first person I recommend when asked if I know a good divorce attorney. My response "I don't know a good one, I know a GREAT one".

Throughout the nine months of my divorce preceeding, Ellen Paynter was professionally astute as well as kind and empathetic. These nine months fell almost entirely during the height of the pandemic so much of my contact with Ellen and with the court was via Zoom. This did not in any way inhibit the forming of a wonderful working relationship. I felt strongly that Ellen had my back at all times. In addition, Ellen allowed me to handle some of the financial matters knowing that with my background as an accountant I was well-versed in the matter. In other words, Ellen didn't always feel the need to be center-stage. My daughter had employed Ellen in her divorce serveral years ago and and Ellen welcomed her participation in a few of the calls which was very helpful in gaining an additional perspective. As I implied, I couldn't have been happier in my choice of attorney.

Ellen and Gina know their stuff! Ellen is very thorough, knowledgeable and persuasive. She knew just what to pursue and what wasn’t worth the battle. She does not back down and will make sure she fights for what is important to you and what really matters. Will send anyone I know to her! Thank you for all your dedicated hard work.

Ellen represented me great in my custody case. She was a pleasure to work with. She was very consistent in following up on my emails and answered all of my questions. She also brought up very good points that I didn't think of. She won the case for me! I would highly recommend choosing Ellen to represent you!

Ellen drafted and executed a prenup for me. She was very responsive and professional throughout the journey. Her fees were also very reasonable. I would highly recommend Ellen!

Ellen is very knowledgeable and always very frank and meticulous. She was a joy to work with and made the divorce process easier and less stressful than I though possible. Would definitely recommend her!

This was my first marriage and I’m in the military. Ellen and Gina were both very patient and helpful in dealing with all of my questions and concerns. My ex-husband was demanding and unhelpful and Ellen helped sort through all of it. Could not recommend her more.
