Accepting New Clients! Aggressive when needed- Divorce and Child Custody Attorney.  My office is located in the West Ashley area of Charleston, at 1483 Tobias Gadson, Suite 205A - just 5 minutes from Boeing, and a short 15 minute drive from Summerville.  I am licensed in South Carolina, and also in Michigan.   I concentrate my practice on helping people through difficult family law, divorce, child custody and support matters as well as bankruptcy matters.  I truly enjoy both areas of law.  As far as the practice of bankruptcy law,  I know of no other area of law where so much good can be accomplished in such a short time.  In most cases, I can quickly solve problems that have kept my clients sick and sleepless with worry and fear.  I have seen the emotional damage that debt problems can cause in someone's life.  Debt problems can affect everything in a person's world, sometimes ruining marriages and careers because of the stress.  I am passionate about trying to help people overcome these problems and more.  I also represent clients in domestic violence/family law matters, and have helped many clients obtain custody of their children in messy divorce actions.

"Whether it's an individual or a corporation, we don't like them being taken advantage of," Ellis says. "If there's a victim, whether it's an individual or a company, I want to represent them. I want them to see justice, whether it's financial compensation or otherwise.". Ellis is known as an even-tempered person, but he admits that he can sometimes be more aggressive in court and in dealing with opposing counsel when the situation warrants.. "I'm very competitive and my partners are too," he says. "We may raise our voices from time to time, but it's not about being uncivil, it's about being passionate about what we do and making sure our clients are taken care of.". In 2021, Ellis brought his practice back to the city where he learned the law when the firm opened a second office in Columbus. He’s proud to fight for underdogs throughout both West Virginia and Ohio.
