What I wanted to say was that my experience with Gary was a positive one. I Initially met him to discuss taking a deal that when it came to the kids meant me seeing them every other weekend. But the trade off was, I was told by her lawyer, lower spousal support. It’s a tough situation. Leverage your kids to save some money on spousal or push ahead, with hopefully a great lawyer, and get a better result with a Judge. When I first met Gary, I was tempted to take the deal. I don’t have $15,000 for lawyer fees. But my kids and my time with them were at stake. He told me to reject and we’ll go to court if we have to. I was reluctant. Again, I’m not a millionaire. He said if he was wrong, and I got a worse result, I wouldn’t pay for the time. That was a deal I couldn’t refuse. Long story short, not only did I get 50/50 with my kids but what I thought would be 5 years of spousal support was 2 at half the amount. He’ll fight. Pay the extra.

Satisfied with the outcome. About average for a lawyer of his vintage. Good performance in Court. Glad it wasn’t me.

Gary was good. Julie, his paralegal, even better! She was AWESOME and really easy to work with, especially when it came to updating financial info. I had what I thought was a relatively easy child support reset app. The lawyer I had before wanted a third retainer, and still no relief. Gary and Julie did in one court application. Very pleased!

I had a complicated case with my ex involving spousal support. The problem was I had another lawyer years ago that had me sign an agreement that had no end date and the amount I paid each month was based on an income I didn't make anymore. I went to a couple of other lawyers before here and was told either it would take a Trial in 2 or 3 years or just to keep paying as it would be cheaper than reopening it. I met with Gary and he was able to get a reduction in the monthly amount and an end date - and it didn't need to go to a Trial for that to be done. It is not the cheapest place in town, but I am happy with the result - and closure. I would have gone bankrupt otherwise.

I think the comment below was written by opposing counsel after Court last week. My experience with Gary could not have been better. My main issue was spousal support and the sale of my house after being married for 21 years and raising 3 children. When I got served with divorce papers, I didn't really know what to do. I had come over from another lawyer, so have a bit of experience to compare different approaches. I felt my first lawyer wanted to get the quickest deal possible. He said 3 years of support was a good deal. I felt it wasn't the best outcome - and given my age, would have left me struggling financially in no time. My ex could still work. After following my gut for a second opinion, I met with Gary. Right away he said the amount and length of support was off. II ended up with 10 years of spousal and a higher monthly amount than was offered before. He's not the cheapest in town, but he's the best in my opinion.

Got me out of a jam with an unrealistic ex. Went to Court and got almost exact outcome I thought was fair. Thankful to have him on my side. I would recommend.

I'm happy with the results on what was a tough case. He's particularly good on support issues.

Good job. Satisfied. Nice guy. My last lawyer seemed to want to be friends with the other side. Gary did what needed to be done.

Had a lawyer before. Constant issues and no fight in her. Gary was different - fought for me when my situation is not easy. I appreciated his honesty and getting me best possible result.

I tried going it alone and it wasn't going very well, as my ex had a seasoned lawyer on her side. I got an appointment with Gary 2 days before a filing deadline. I didn't think he would be interested in taking it. Not only did he take it but was able to put me back to shared parenting after my ex and her lawyer had me at supervised every other week. I'm glad I met and hired Gary.

I called Mr. Ellis due to a friends recommendation, and have to say extremely disappointed in the service, I believe he took advantage of my situation and desperation, took all my savings and after a year I still left that office in tears and with no separation, to finish off he fired me as a client and didn't even find out by his office but by the opposing lawyer when my ex asked me what was going on. Very unprofessional and I wish I had never recommended this person to 2 other people as I know that they are also very disappointed in his service.

Gary did a great job with my case. He really cared about getting the best possible result for both me and my children and I know he put a great deal of effort into doing so. I trust him and would absolutely hire him again. Thanks, Gary!

Gary Ellis has represented my ex but is respectful and as fair as he can be without there being a conflict of interest. He cares about kids. He is a good lawyer.

I met Mr. Ellis when I was completely discouraged. I had just been served with papers by my ex and she was threatening to go for full custody. I couldn't believe it. After meeting a few lawyers, Mr. Ellis was willing to meet me after my work and took all the time needed to calm me down. It ended up going to court and the result - shared parenting! I couldn't be more happier. The other comment on here must be from an opposing party who lost to Mr. Ellis. Great work, Gary!
