I have used Ellis for several legal needs and referred him to many. Always straight forward and a pleasure to work with.

Mr. Ellis worked with me for my minor son's alleged dwi case. Always returned calls promptly which seems to be a rarity these days. Excellant outcome for my son. Professional demeanor yet very caring attitude. Highly recommend.

Going through a divorce can be tough, there are so many emotions running through your mind. I wanted to be particular in whom I had representing me. Zach and I attended the same high school, but we did not know each other very well. His professionalism was second to none. He is one of the most thorough people I know. He stayed the course the entire time and made sure that I received what was best for me in a fair manner. I am so humbled and thankful that I hired Zach. He was the best for me!

After meeting with multiple other attorneys, and not liking any of them, I was getting discouraged. As soon as my husband and I met Zach, we knew our search was over. My husband is adopting "our" daughter, so this is a HUGE deal for us! Zach listened to each of our concerns, questions, worries, etc, and made sure to address each one. It's so great to have someone that cares about your situation as much as you do yourself.

Mr. Ellis was very professional, knowledgeable, and always responded quickly. He showed a genuine concern for my case and his experience inside a courtroom was evident. I would highly recommend him!

Zach and his paralegal Brittney worked tirelesslessly on our case . We ended up getting everything we wanted primary custody of my husband's two boys. Zach was wondeful communicating with us and keeping us updated ! You couldn't find a better man to represent you .

Mr. Ellis was incredibly efficient with my time. He explained everything that was going to happen, or might happen, so I wasn't surprised by anything. He does a great job.
