The Ellis Law Firm

I was going to use Greg as a custody lawyer. First red flag was he openly talked and said awful things about the opposing attorney, Tim Allen. I paid the retainer and worked out a payment plan for the rest, and never heard anything back. My child’s father received a notice in the mail of our court date two days prior to the date. I, on the other hand, never received a single one. Not even a phone call from the lawyer’s office. When I finally got to talk to Greg, he informs me the front desk lady had a sickness which is why I never got a notification, as she is supposed to send out emails and make the calls. While I hate she was sick, that’s an internal issue and I should not be having to worry about requesting off to be there a day prior to the court date. If we have someone sick at work, we pull the extra weight to make sure the work actually gets done. He also informed me “you know you don’t have to be there right?” No, I don’t know that because NO ONE HAS TALKED TO ME ABOUT IT. Then he wants to tell me, “well, we’re talking now.” The only reason we were talking then is I had to go out of my way to call and find out what was going on. I work a full time job and have to request off for these things, but it’s hard to request off for something you don’t know about. When I matched his nonchalant, arrogant energy, he then told me “if you’re so unhappy… actually I can no longer represent you.” Although I appreciate the fact that he worked with me on a payment plan, he is very unprofessional and he and his staff lacks communication.
