“With expertise and integrity, Ellen, Nancy, and others from their office helped my husband and I finalize our Estate Planning. They met us where we were. We appreciate all their support and professionalism in the process, which was done timely and efficiently.”

“Ellen Dorn has a steady demeanor and a thoughtful approach to solving complex needs. She not only wrote our wills-with sound advice about the best way to mitigate family discord-she undertook having the guardianship of our disabled son lifted. This was a complex task, as it is very rare to petition to have a guardianship listed and there was a lot of dancing with the court and state bureaucracy necessitated to accomplish the goal. We highly recommend Ellen Dorn to handle your important legal needs.”

In assisting this client, she showed a depth of knowledge, a knack for finding practical and effective solutions, an enduring patience in counseling clients about an arcane area of law, and a respect for the client’s budget that I have seldom witnessed in twenty-five years of legal practice. It has been a privilege to collaborate with her on this and similar legal matters.”
