While I don't wish divorce on anyone, if both parties choose that route and decide on mediation, I…read morehighly recommend that you consider hiring Attorney Ellen Plasil. Her commitment, concern for all parties and requisite skills are top notch and you couldn't possibly be in better hands. My ex-husband and I retained the mediation services of Ellen Plasil in August of 2014. Prior to choosing her as our mediator in the summer of 2014, I researched several other mediators in the area, and during our initial telephone conversation, I found Attorney Plasil's demeanor to be knowledgeable, professional, respectful and incredibly warm. The services she offered were all inclusive and her rates were on par with all of the other mediators that I researched. Further, I received several referrals for her services. In short, choosing Ellen Plasil as our mediator, was a no brainer. Attorney Plasil approached every meeting we had with her, with sensitivity and sincerity, and brought incredible awareness and insight to the unique legal issues we brought to the table. She immediately put us both at ease with her kind, warm, and funny personality. We even had several moments of levity during tense times (which I know is hard to believe, but it's true). Her knowledge of divorce law and her impeccable work ethic stood out at every session. Most important, was her need to be fair to both parties. She never took sides and was extremely fair when it came to working on finances and splitting assets and I know for a fact that my ex would echo my sentiments. Ms. Plasil took all of our distinctive issues into account when drafting our settlement agreement and even went so far as to include our dog into the agreement, which was a relief to both of us. She didn't miss a single detail. I simply cannot recommend Ellen Plasil highly enough! She is caring, kind, thoughtful, thorough, extremely knowledgeable and goes out of her way to be fair and sensitive to all parties involved. The fact is, she is an absolute pleasure to be around, can make a person laugh during trying times and is just one of the most amazing people I have ever met. We lucked out when we chose her as a mediator. She is simply the best. I can actually say that I miss having sessions with her (and that says a lot!).

After a great deal of investigation and review of mediators in the area, my husband and I chose to…read morework with Ellen to settle our divorce. We are so glad that we did! Ellen is an amazing person and an outstanding mediator. What impressed me most about Ellen was her ability to listen, sort through what was important to us and come up with a solution that worked for our whole family. Ellen always kept the interests of our children in the center of the conversation and advocated for them whenever necessary. She was honest, sincere and nonjudgemental, all qualities that helped us to reach an agreement that was fair and reasonable. During one of the most difficult times in our lives, Ellen helped my husband and I stay focused on our values - being respectful, supporting our children in whatever they need and finding solutions that will accommodate all of us. I would recommend Ellen without hesitation to anyone who is considering a divorce.

From our initial meeting to our final day in court, I never felt alone. Their caring, for me as a person as well as a client, was always evident and I knew they always had my best interests at heart. Fred instilled in me the trust that helped me have the courage to move forward and not give up, even when I was scared and things seemed impossible. Fred is passionate in what he does, he is kind but firm and tough when he needs to be. His legal expertise and attention to detail was quite impressive. I was in awe of his performance in court and thrilled when judgment was in my favor. I wouldn't be where I am today without him and I can not thank him enough. Attorney Anthony is the best and he has my highest recommendation.

She told me the hard truths right from the start. There was no sugarcoating, no false promises. She's a total straight shooter, and in a situation like this, that's exactly what I needed. It wasn't always what I wanted to hear, but it helped me make real decisions instead of living in denial. She takes the initiative without me having to chase her down or beg for updates. She's always two steps ahead, thinking about what needs to happen next. Super involved, very personal, like she actually cares about how this affects me and my life, not just another file on her desk. She got me remote court appearances when I really needed that flexibility, which made a huge difference with my schedule and stress level. And the communication? Unreal. Emails at all hours; early morning, late night, weekends. She was always prompt with her responses and never left me hanging wondering what was going on. If you want someone who will fight for you, keep it real, and actually be there when you need them, she's the one. Highly recommend.

So I did her favor for writing a good review about her. However, later I learned that she is a full of scams. She refused to provide evidences that could end the case right there to the judge to prolong the case in order for her to gain more money. She took $30,000 within 10 months from me and didn't resolve anything. I just fired her. She claimed herself as " Children come first" however, she kept ignoring my concerns about my children"s safety and laughing. Even when I have a audio recording of my children"s father abusing my child physically and crying and calling mommy for help.... She does not care about the children at all. She only care about how she can fool people to gain more money. She is abusive, toxic, disrespectful, manipulative and twist everything. She constantly gossip about her other clients disrespectfully. I would never recommend her to anyone. I'm palling to take this to the court.
