Very happy with service provided, highly recommend, very responsive to all needs and questions
Mr. Ellem is a very good lawyer who represented my case in a very professional manner. He was honest and he get's things done. I recommend him to anyone!!!
Thanks for all the work you put into my case. I will be recommending you to anyone that has similar problems in the future.
Mr. Ellem was very courteous and professional in assisting me with my legal issues. He made me feel comfortable, was always responsive to my calls and emails, and followed-through with everything he said he would. I recommend Mr. Ellem to all my friends and family, or to anybody in need of excellent representation.
Attorney John Ellem and his staff were very professional and helpful during a very trying time in my life. Mr. Ellem worked extremely hard to ensure that I was able to remain in my home, avoid foreclosure, and secure a loan modification for me. Mr. Ellem knows the mortgage laws and is definitely the attorney you want on your side in a situation like this.
Mr. Ellem was a great lawyer, from our first meeting to the end. He kept me informed even sent me email when i sent him emails asking question. His office employees were real friendly and helpful. He settled my law suit without having to go to court. We settled out of court and i was real pleased with the outcome of my case. How many lawyers do you know that would answer questions about a case by email, and phone calls. He was always easy to get in contact with by phone and emails even after office hours. I had questions i needed answered about another possible case and he was always there to answer my questions about it also. Not many lawyers would do that.Even after my case was over i emailed him about concerns about this possible other case and he still emailed me with answers to questions i had. In the beginning of my case was in magistrate court and the case was thrown out of court there., Then i filed Law suit in Circuit Court and Mr, Ellem won my case with a good settlement in my favor in the end without having to go to court before the judge. The Company was glad to settle out of court. I was highly pleased from the beginning to end of my case. I was more than pleased with the fees i paid for my case was really reasonable cheaper than i could have been charged by other lawyers in my area. My case was settled quickly so glad it wasn't drawn out over a long period of time. Which could have taken a lot longer to settle. *I would highly recommend Mr. Ellem to anyone. I personally think he did a fantastic job settling my case,
