As a fellow family law practitioner with over 22 years of experience and family law professor with over 17 years of experience, I get numerous calls requesting an attorney referral for family law matters. There are only three firms within the triangle that I refer people to. Ellis Family Law is always number one. I know that I have referred many people over the last several years to both offices.
