—M.L., regarding a nonprofit organization matter
“Ellen provided non-profit organization services to a significant and commercially sophisticated mutual client, a business entity that wanted to provide pro bono services related to its field. 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.”

We are very proud to have found her. God bless her!”
