Learning to trust an attorney that you’re just beginning to work with is really difficult. The anxiety I felt along this journey was supported by Kathleen, but what she did in court this afternoon was beyond. I didn’t know what I didn’t know; but she did. She blew opposing counsel away. She knows her stuff and she knows what’s needed. Her staff went above and beyond for me also, and I’m so grateful
Wow! I’m actually excited about moving forward on my divorce now! I was terrified, now I’m not in the least bit. So excited to have Kathleen Murphy in my corner.

I hired Attorney Shannon Tucker with Ellis Family Law for help with a DVPO case, and I’m very grateful for their support. They responded quickly, explained every step of the process in a way I could understand, and made sure I felt prepared for court. The case moved faster than I expected, and their professionalism and compassion made a difficult situation much easier to handle. I highly recommend them for anyone needing prompt and effective help with protective orders.
