I was thankful that she was there to get us through a tough fight.

Ms. Schutz is an outstanding family law attorney and advisor.  She worked very hard for me in successfully changing my child support arrangements.  My circumstances were very difficult so I was thankful that she was there to get us through a tough fight.

Goes above and beyond for her clients.

Ellen is truly phenomenal, her work ethic is impeccable. She has helped me through one of the toughest times in my life and I am very pleased with how everything turned out. She is the best attorney and representation anyone can ask for. She's staunch, does her due diligence and goes above and beyond for her clients. I'll always have her as my lawyer and I highly recommend her! Thanks Ellen for everything you did for me!!

Nothing but the best.

Ms. Ellen was excellent in providing me service, I would recommend her to anyone needing a family attorney. She gets the job done and is really firm with what she says. Nothing but the best.

A seasoned and unbridled fireball of an attorney

I just finished a custody battle that took almost three years. With Ellen’s professional guidance and support, I was able to secure what was best for my children. Without Ellen’s tireless and relentless tenacity I’m not sure I would have been able to stay the course. 

Ellen is a tenacious fighter who’s not afraid to go toe-to-toe with the biggest, most expensive firms in the city. I know this because my X hired one of the biggest, nastiest, and deceitful firms available. With their guidance, my X spent almost half a million dollars, while Ellen charged a fraction of that…and beat them. You’ll get brutal honesty. Ellen won’t mince words with you. She won’t tell you what you ‘want to hear’. She will inform you of where you’re dropping the ball. You’ll get a well-connected and experienced person. Ellen has been in family law for a considerable bit of time and as such has become familiar with just about all the players in the system. Having someone like Ellen to help you understand what is likely to happen, despite how legally right or wrong you are, is invaluable. 

In summary, if you want a seasoned and unbridled fireball of an attorney at your side, you’ll be doing yourself a favor by hiring Ellen Schutz.

You took on my case and brought it to an end in four months

It was great working with you. I was stuck working with a previous lawyer where my case did not proceed and I was being charged unduly. You took on my case and brought it to an end in four months with a very reasonable cost.

I don’t think I could have won without you.

I’ve been meaning to write for a while and say, “Thank you”. I can’t tell you how much you helped me in a time of need. Keeping my son was a battle I don’t think I could have won without you.

You definitely want her in your corner.

Ellen will tell you like it is and not BS you. She's an amazing lawyer that will fight for you, you definitely want her in your corner. Thanks to Ellen I was able to get 50% custody of my daughter.

Thanks, Ellen, for giving me a new life.

I recently went through a divorce and a friend recommended Ellen to me. I was devastated when I learned that after 18 years of marriage my husband was cheating on me. Ellen stuck with me when I wanted to give up and actually made me laugh when I wanted to cry. I am so grateful and am now happier than I have been in years. Thanks, Ellen, for giving me a new life. I am free and liberated! I can never repay you for all you have done for me.

I’m truly grateful for this feeling of relief!

I can’t thank you enough for getting us to this day. I realize the T’s have not been crossed, but I’m truly grateful for this feeling of relief! You’ll go down in the history of Michelle as my champion.

I felt as if I had Muhammad Ali in my corner.

Just a little note of thanks for the outstanding job that you did representing me and my children. I felt my case was of the utmost importance to you. The love for what you do showed in your work. Everything ended in our favor, due to your determination, hard work and drive. I felt as if I had Muhammad Ali in my corner. You were amazing. Also, thank you for the reassurance, letting me know my children’s best interests would always be protected. You are my attorney for life. I owe you more than a retainer could ever pay.

When I count my blessings this Thanksgiving Day, you will be one of them. I sincerely appreciate what you’ve done for us.

I don’t think I could have done it without you.

I want to thank you. I really feel like you got the best deal that we could. I don’t think I could have done it without you. I wanted you to know that I am very appreciative for what you have done. You have done a very good job.

I have more time with my son now and I couldn't be happier.

Ellen is wonderful. She helped me understand the process and got me what I wanted. She called out the BS of the other lawyer and fought for my rights as a father. She is fair and firm and will tell you like it is. I am very glad that I had her in my corner throughout the process. I have more time with my son now and I couldn't be happier. Thanks so much Ellen!
