Law Office Of Ellen M.Mclaughlin

We were referred to Ellen for probono work on a case of ours. Now, it being "free" I didn't expect the world's best attorney or even the best legal advice. However, I did expect something. Upon our first and only meeting, she wouldn't really listen to us. She would talk over us and interject. She wanted to be aggressive towards our case, which we didn't mind too much. But after our meeting with her, there was pretty much nothing. I tried calling and she said she'd call back. I tried emailing and she said she'd get in touch. She hasn't responded to anything since, nor had the common courtesy to give us answers to questions that were hot and needed answering. We needed help and now it's too late and we're stuck in some issues we can't get out of. If you choose her to be your attorney or consult on anything, good luck.

What an amazing woman. I've been going through my divorce for over 2 years because it's an extremely complicated with my ex but Mrs. McLaughlin has been right by my side the entire time. She doesn't give up on your case and will fight along side you.

We got in touch with Ellen after I had a bad experience in the court room. At this point we were desperate for help after being shut down from other firms. We called her office and her assistant promptly scheduled me for a consult later that week. After going over my case we decided to give it a shot. Court was still a nightmare. But she still kept me informed through emails which personally I liked the most as I have a very busy life and can’t always answer phone calls. She has been upfront and honest with me from the start. What I admired most about Ellen is I felt she listened to me and didn’t throw in the towel even after I started getting extremely frustrated. If your looking for someone who is upfront, knowledgeable, and dedicated I would recommend meeting with Ellen...

I found this attorney to be more interested in telling me what my life was about than what I was telling her was happening. I wasn't paying for a life coach, I was looking for help.......I found no one at this law firm was interested in that. Ellen also took a very aggressive approach to our talk in what I can only understand to of been an attempt to intimidate me into listening to her. It was the first time in my 58 years I have seen an attorney be more interested in talking someone out of getting a lawyer than helping them. Go anywhere else.

I would not recommend her, I had a consultation with her assistant and when she asked who was the plaintiffs attorney was and I mentioned to her who it was, she then said that they can't help me. I retained another attorney and when I went to court, this particular assistant was talking and assisting with this particular attorney, I was surprised that this attorney would let her assistant converse with another attorney while in court and hand her paperwork for a specific case that didn't pertain to her.
