I could not be more pleased with the work that Mr.Ellerin and his team performed for me. He was very thorough and communicated well with me throughout the entire process. He made it very clear that he was here for my best interest, and never once did he allow me to be taken advantage of. Mr.Ellerin will continue to be my legal representation in the event further situations may arise.
Mr. Ellerin is by far the best family attorney in Florida. He helped me gain custody of my son. He took on the case as if it was his own. I am forever gratefully for his help. This was a long drawn out process and Mr. Ellerin knew exactly what to do and when.
Scott was patient, he listened, he explained situations and circumstances clearly and on a level that was easily understood. I felt like I was working with a family member. He has a caring and efficient staff that was very helpful as well.
Mr. Ellerin was amazing. His professionalism and honesty was refreshing in a world of scheming attorneys. He helped me get custody of my daughter and we all know how selective the system can be with fathers and their daughters. I never was out of the loop, I never was given unrealistic expectations, and I never felt he was not representing me completely. We retained him for about a year timeframe and he never wavered on his commitment to my case. Great communication, understanding of the financial commitment, and commitment to what was important to me and my family: getting our daughter in the best environment for her upbringing. I would recommend him to all fathers in the world that want the best legal resolution for their children against the systematic challenges the system provides against fathers. Thank you Mr. Ellerin. I am eternally grateful for your representation of me and helping get my daughter with me permanently. If you want excellent representation with realistic expectations and verified results, choose Mr. Ellerin.
From the first meeting with Scott I was very comfortable. While we only went to court one time, I couldn't have had a better attorney representing me and protecting my interests. Every question or concern throughout the year he and his firm represented me was answered almost immediately. His support staff is also extremely easy to work with, respectful and always ready to assist. He takes a no BS approach to defending your interests and you can rest easy that he will guide you to the best possible outcome. He is extremely honest, reliable, knowledgeable and passionate about his representation of his clients. I highly recommend Scott for all your family law needs.
Scott went above and beyond my expectations. He tactfully and assertively handled my trial. Scott was well prepared and achieved a more favorable outcome than expected.
Scott gave me the edge my ex did not have at her disposal. This was a long drawn divorce case and Scott was a bulldog fighting for me. He seemed like he was fighting for himself. The quick and ready responses to many of my financials he had during mediation was particularly impressive. He has the ability to quickly access a situation and move toward resolution. Scott is a cut above the rest and gives a client the edge when fighting for their life!
Attorney Scott Ellerin and his team helped me get a fair representation in family court! Unfortunately, I had to seek a law firm that specializes in helping men falsely presented to the court system. Through a lawyer I was threatened with, and expected to pay, private school cost (on top of the “full” child support I always paid fully and on time) simply because the mother “said so” after she unilaterally enrolled our child in an expensive private school program. Through her lawyer(s) she also claimed at least 2-3 other misrepresentations trying to make me look bad to the court. In the end, after a deposition and me presenting all my supporting data to Attorney Scott Ellerin and his team, Mr. Ellerin was able to use it superbly within the context of the law to successfully challenge and disprove the mother’s claims. The court ruled in my favor on every single legal count. Attorney Scott Ellerin and his team, because of their specific focus on Men’s Rights, were able to defend me using the law as it is intended—to protect either parent. In this case it was me, the father. Importantly, this was after what I know to be a respected law firm had essentially told me after two meetings: “we cannot take this case,.... this does not look good....” Bottom line, if you are a male and know in your heart of hearts that you are being misrepresented to the family court system, seek a law firm such as Kenny Leigh & Associates that specializes in “Men’s Rights.” Attorney Scott Ellerin did a great job bringing my case to a fair closing!!!
I started an initial action for paternity with the courts in my area, after being denied access to my son from his mother (aged 2 at the time of filing). I initially was assigned a less experienced attorney with Kenny Leigh and Associates, however as the case escalated into a custody "battle", my case was assigned to Mr.Ellerin. I would like to stress that divorce and custody proceedings are typically not resolved overnight. These cases are very procedural, and there is always an "if and, or but" to most facets which seem to make sense initially. There must be realistic expectations set when working with attorneys, the courts, other related parties...and well, the other parent. In my experiences establishing credibility, preparing for anything, and keeping your story straight is the best way to achieve a desirable outcome. In my experiences with Scott, he has consistently put forth a detail-oriented approach to his case work, and has never advocated for being too sure of a ruling or event going one way. He has always advocated a "question first, shoot later" approach, and has stressed the importance of not being unreasonable regarding a family law case. Very rarely do attorneys have time or capacity to answer every single call or respond to every single issue experienced in the day to day of a custody case, but in my experiences Scott always found adequate time to review evidence, prepare for multiple outcomes and proceeding activities, and present himself in a professional and genuinely invested manner while keeping me aware of recent events. When things make sense, Scott has connected the dots. When they haven't, Scott has supported my stances or helped me to better understand why or why not my current position makes sense. In other words, I have learned to respect the things Scott is firm on based on his experience, and further respect his flexibility for reciprocating that this is my case, and involves my son at a personal level, as appropriate. Circling back to my earlier point on being reasonable, Scott has always been forthcoming with sharing his experiences, thoughts, and opinions on facets of my case. If you are looking to hire a "yes" man as an attorney, look elsewhere. If you are looking for attorney who will review your case, ask the tough questions to not only the other party but to YOU as a client in the interest of a case, and maintain a realistic approach to handling your case...then look no further.
Mr. Ellerin I’m very greatfull for the outstanding work you Did!I am very Satisfied with the Comminication on you’re behalf and you’re Paralegal. How you Made Sure I Understood every part of the Legal Process I was going threw with this nasty Divorce. The Easiest And Greatesr Choice I Made by Far in this Divorce was my Lawyer Scott. Forever Greatful Highly Reccomended.
