Not entirely sure where this woman went to law school... But, I would recommend that she go back and actually read at least one of the books this time. Sure, she may "win" cases... But her whole strategy is to bully, file an incredible amount of false allegations against, and completely lie under oath about the other side.
I guess even a three legged horse can win the Kentucky Derby if the owners have already executed the opposing racers....

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.

Really terrible firm. First, there are cats all over the office. Second, they took days and sometimes weeks to respond to emails. Lastly, the limiting factor in my divorce was a financial document that I filled out 4 times, was told got sent to the opposing firm 4 times, only to find out from opposing counsel that NO documents of any kind had ever been received from Ellis Law Firm (this was over about a 5 month span).

I sat in on a consultation with a friend today at Ellis Law Firm. If I ever have to hire an attorney, Dianne Ellis is who I will happily give my money too. If my friend has to hire an attorney, Dianne Ellis is on speed dial. She's real, she tells you like it is, she's the most down to earth attorney I have ever come in contact with. She says things other attorneys won't. I truly believe she is the type of attorney that will be 100% behind you. She comes off as the type of person that doesn't like nor takes B.S. I would definitely want this woman in my corner! AND there's two cats roaming around

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.

I contacted mrs ellis by phone concerning a highway patrolman harrassing and assaulting me while seated and in handcuffs. instead of telling me that she did not want to"take on" the mississippi dept. of public safety,she sent me confused and conflicting emails and then missed our first and only appointment.she was driving off as i drove up on appointment day and did not even agnowledge me. I would advise anyone to go to denham instead.

"So far...so good." We have had problems with other Attorneys in the area to even do their job. Ms. Ellis has eagerly taken our case and accomplished more in a week than our last Attorney has done in months! Admittedly, this review could be premature as we have not seen/heard her performance in Court (which is a big deal for choosing the right Attorney), but we have a favorable impression that she will be aggressive and go for complete Victory in Court as she has out of it.
