Services
You likely think of an attorney seldom, if at all, unless you confront a legal issue in your personal life. Perhaps you're facing criminal charges, divorce, or an injury to a loved one. At this time, you need an experienced attorney well versed in local laws and procedures to diligently protect your rights and promote your legal interests.
I am a problem solver. After working as a probation officer out of college, I became a lawyer and opened Ellison Law Office to maximize my service to our Asheville, North Carolina, community. I have more than 30 years of experience as an attorney and litigator. Also, I have had the opportunity and good fortune to serve as vice-mayor, city councilman and a member of many other boards and commissions.
I became a lawyer because I wanted to provide solutions for people in my neighborhood with legal concerns. Serving the residents of Asheville and surrounding areas of North Carolina for more than 30 years, I command considerable experience with the law, with local courts and procedures, and with the people of this community, so that I can provide you the legal solutions you need.
You are facing criminal charges. You need a lawyer who understands your needs, knows how the local system works and possesses the criminal defense experience required to get you the best outcome possible. You have the right to representation. I can help you find the solutions you need.

Since opening the Law Office of Attorney Eugene W. Ellison, I have focused my legal career on helping each of my clients get the best deal possible when facing a criminal charge.My extensive trial experience, combined with strong knowledge of local court process and procedure, helps me find optimal solutions to clients' criminal law concerns.
Most people have had one too many at some point or another, but that makes no difference to law enforcers. The law is not set up to be kind to people caught driving while impaired. That is why you need an experienced lawyer able to find the best solution in your DWI issue.

I started the Law Office of Attorney Eugene W. Ellison more than 30 years ago to help people from my Asheville, North Carolina, community defend against and optimally resolve driving-while-intoxicated charges.As my attorney profile indicates, I know this area of law and our local system well. Contact me today for vigorous and knowledgeable defense against your DWI charge.

Gene has been a professional colleague of mine for many years. He has always been a tough, well prepared opponent in court and he always argues for his clients.

I live in a different state and needed a lawyer in the Asheville area to work with DSS and the local court system to get custody of my child who had been made a ward of the state. Mr. Ellison helped me to quickly get my child. He was professional and knowledgeable and was extremely helpful during a really stressful time. The moment I engaged him, he reached out to DSS, started drawing up paperwork and advocating for the needs of my family. More importantly he delivered, he got my child home. I had seen negative comments on previous reviews and I will say that I had a very good experience and that

ZERO STARS!!!
TOTALLY UNPROFESSIONAL!!!
I walked out of "Attorney" Ellison's office and walked back in because a I needed to ask him another question. To my horror, I overheard him laughing and making fun of me and my case with his secretary. Unfortunately, I had already paid him, but never will I patronize him again! He is arrogant, unprofessional and rude! If you know what's best for you...DON'T PATRONIZE EUGENE ELLISON!!!

Gene Ellison had been a friend of mine for 40 years. He had not only been my attorney but I know how many people he has helped in so many ways. He has the upmost integrity and common sense. He knows how to solve people's legal problems without going through unnecessary litigation. If you want an attorney who can tell you how to resolve your problems, he's the man.
