My wife and i had a long road to get our BK done because of our previous failed Business. The courts gave us a hard time, but Mr Ellis and his Legal Assistant Carey fought for us. We didn't have to pay the courts any EXTRA. It may take some time, but the outcome will be in your favor the right way. Very professional and by the book.
Mr. Ellis explained very clear what options I had so I could make an educated decision. Carey was very helpful throughout the process and always responded to our questions promptly.
Richard Ellis handled my long and difficult divorce. I had a lawyer who seemed confused by my case. I switched and Richard's expertise and experience gave me confidence and eased my anxiety. He responded to all of my questions with knowledge that came from his decades of practicing law.in Sarasota. Richard was also there for me when I had a car accident. It so happened that the crash occurred at 32nd Street and US41, very close to his office. While I'm nervously talking to the police here comes Richard Ellis across the street to help me. My attorney on the spot.
Richard Ellis not only handled my case wifth consummate professionalism but his advice to switch my Banckruptcy petition was the element that brought it to a successful resolution. I recommend him highly.
Mr. Ellis, Carey, and Dawn helped me through a very scary and difficult time. They were always available to answer questions and just plain support. This office is compassionate and kind, I was never made to feel uncomfortable with the process. I would highly recommend Mr. Ellis and staff if you need help!!
Such a helpful, experienced, down to earth attorney to work with. He was always there to help answer my questions and assist me along the way. I could count on him at anytime. I would highly recommend this attorney.
Courteously processed and manage our case.
After meeting with several other attorneys, Mr. Ellis was my choice to handle what could have been a very nasty case. From the beginning he handled all my issues and concerns with professionalism, courtesy and a caring manner. He and his wonderful staff put my mind at ease and handled my case beyond my expectations. I would strongly recommend Mr. Ellis and if I ever need legal representation again in the future, he's the only one I'll be calling! Thank you, Mr. Ellis
Being completely discouraged by several attorneys I visited seeking advice, representation and a plan to overcome the extreme hardship I experienced , I finally met Mr. Ellis. He has spent a generous amount of time reviewing my situation and the ton of documents I presented, and after considering all my options, gave me his recommendation, and agreed to represent me. What a relief that was! From the first moment on, he handled my case with the utmost confidence, knowledge, expertise and professionalism. His responsiveness during our proceedings was outstanding. My case, that several other attorneys declined to take on, ended with the most favorable outcome, for which I will always be thankful.
I would highly recommend Richard V Ellis. I was hit hard by the financial downturn in 2008 and it was financially devastating. Richard handle my personal bankruptcy in excess of $50,000,000.00. He did so in a superb, professional and caring manor. It was one year from the time my bankruptcy was filed until my discharge and he handle each meeting, crisis, and need in more than a professional way but in a way that showed he cared. I know that I was directed to him my a higher power and words can not express how I feel about his handling of my case and helping me navigate through the most challenging financial crisis of my life. He gave me the courage to realize this was only a detour along the journey.
