Ruth T. Ellis, Esq.

Ruth T. Ellis has been a trial lawyer for over 25 years.  She has represented clients on numerous matters in state and federal trial courts and courts of appeal.  Her practice has spanned from representing large multi-state corporations to representing adolescents.  In her personal injury practice she has been fortunate to obtain settlements of six and seven figures for her clients.  However, one of her greatest passions is representing adults and youths who have received a criminal charge or who have other legal difficulties and whose lives are going in the wrong direction.  Her approach to these cases is what could be termed a holistic approach to the practice of law.  She focuses not only on the immediate legal problem, but also on the life pattern which led to the current legal problem and will likely lead to future legal problems.  She then partners with her client to develop a unique rehabilitation plan which sets in place a series of events designed to put the client in the best position possible.  Following this holistic approach, she enables her clients to utilize the current legal problem as a precious opportunity to achieve a better life.
