We have been to trial on numerous cases, both large and small. Any dispute important to our clients is important to us.

I have recommended them to several clients and they have always done an amazing and thorough job in every case. If you have a business issue I highly recommend Ellis and his team.

From our first conversation with Ellis we knew we were in good hands; his calm, intellectual but approachable demeanor put us instantly at ease. A stand up guy first and an pit-bull of a lawyer second he will make you feel confident and comfortable in any situation you are in. He is extremely insightful, intuitive and creative; able to adjust his communication and tactics to find the best solution for you. I equate most ordeals in life that require a lawyer to be negative but Ellis has a way of helping you through it not only professionally but personally as well. Look no further, this is YOUR

Ellis Lesemann and his associate Taylor Powell helped my family settle a complex insurance claim involving multiple defendants. This was not an easy task as other law firms we interviewed either failed to understand the issues or wanted unreasonable retainer agreements. Ellis and Taylor worked with us through the entire process and expertly negotiated a fair settlement before going to trial.
I would highly recommend talking to Lesemann & Associates first for any legal matter.

Being a first time home buyer can be super intimidating, especially when you are a young female trying to go through the process on your own. You depend greatly on help and advice from mortgage brokers, realtors, friends, etc. and hope and pray that you will deal with good honest people during the process. When I was buying my first home, unfortunately this was not the case. While I dealt with many wonderful dependable people who were helpful to me when I needed them, the seller and selling agent of the home that I was buying saw me as nothing more than an easy target, someone they could take advantage
