Ellis Law Firm

No communication. Worse than your soon-to-be ex. I asked about what to expect in the divorce process, but was told nothing. I asked about witnesses. Dianne waited until less than two weeks before court for a list of them and then did not respond when that list was provided. The witness of my spouse making out with her employee that she'd been renting airbnb cabins with showed up in court, but was not allowed to speak even then. Even I wasn't allowed to make a statement, other than what my name is, in court about my own divorce. As soon as we were sworn in, Dianne stopped everything, and the judge asked everyone else to leave. I assumed that there would be a hearing or trial of some sort after their private meeting that seemed pre-arranged. I had no idea that this would replace such a hearing or trial. There was no chance to present evidence. I was not allowed to make a statement. Witnesses were not allowed to speak. I was told to accept the deal she had seemingly already made with the judge and my spouse's attorney that meant accepting $x and forfeiting the rest. I asked what exactly I was forfeiting but Dianne would not tell me. She did say that if I didn't sign, it would cost me. I was given a document handwritten on a scrap sheet of notebook paper to sign. When I said that I don't understand what some of the items meant (my degrees are in foreign language and physics, not law), I was told to hurry up and sign it with no explanation of what I was being pressured to sign. I signed it out of fear of the earlier threats and the understanding that I was being railroaded by Dianne, the other attorney, and the judge; I'm guessing because I moved out of state for work. I was given three days to sign the official papers, and did so even with one day spent traveling back home. I was told the $x amount (which ends up being about 10-15% of the property) would be transferred to me, and I asked if she needed the routing and account number to do so. There was no response. I never heard from Dianne again. Do not get a divorce in Mississippi, even if your spouse admits to cheating on you for years with her employee at Audubon. I regret that I was not able to find an attorney with the courage to stand up before judge Harris and represent me or even tell me what was going on. I made this review as flattering as possible, yet I expect to be sued by Dianne for it.

I spoke with receptionist and was told Ms Ellis would return my call the next day. They did not return my call, you won’t get business or good reviews if you ignore calling customers back! I gave 1 star because the receptionist spoke very professional and I actually believed her when she said I would get a follow up call. I got a follow up to my review pretty much saying that she doesn’t return calls unless I am a client. The receptionist took my info and said I would get a call, I believe you’re in the wrong here. I did what anyone would have done. Your receptionist should have not said that you were going to call if thats against your policy. I was also informed that if I agreed to pay a consultation fee that she would have called me back. I called because I was referred to Ms. Ellis. I was fully prepared to pay a consultation fee. Had someone asked me or called me back, that would have been handled easily. I don’t understand how you’re not returning my call after your receptionist said you would, is now my fault? Good luck to you ma’am, you might want to school your receptionist on procedure, not make potential customers feel bad for actually calling your office to give you a case to handle!

In a tough situation, like a divorce, it is good to have someone you can trust. Dianne is very good at what she does. She is honest & always has her client's best interests in mind. Her office staff are amazing & very friendly. Dianne & her wonderful staff helped me immensely with my divorce & custody issues. She made everything easy to understand & took time to answer questions. She set realistic expectations & delivered quality results. She was kind to me and my children. She fought very hard for us every step of the way. I would highly recommend Mrs. Ellis and her office.

Mrs Dianne and all the staff at Ellis law firm is exactly what she advertises. I have been locked in a custody battle for almost 2 years. She has always been very responsive and communication is great. I am so confident knowing she will be in my corner when we step into that courtroom soon. She really has her clients best interest in mind. If she is in your corner, you have a real leader and innovative thinker. Thank you so much mrs Dianne and all your staff.

Dianne is amazing, pay the woman and let her do the work because she will get it done. We paid the consultation fee, placed a call and that day things were moving. Dianne and Evan are THE PEOPLE to go to
