I am a native of Charleston.  I received my primary education at  Charleston Day School and attended Porter Gaud High School  After graduation from Washington and Lee University, I entered the Masters in Public Administration Program at the College of Charleston.  It was a two year program and I decided to leave after a year to attend law school.. I began working as a law clek in 1983 with a firm specializing in workers compensation and insurance defense work.  The firm offerd me a job in Birmingham Alabama upon graduation and when it merged with a firm in Mobile, I  was tansfered to Mobile and worked with an exceptional attorney in the field of medical malpractice defense.  I wanted to return to my home town and did so in 1987, leaving behind a great job.  I worked with the same firm in Charleston for over 21 years, including 13 years as managing attorney.  I co-founded Corrigan & Chandler  with Nelson Chandler in Febuary of 2010.  I am primarily a litigator having taken some 200 cases to a jury verdict and more to a ruling by a Judge or Comissoner.  I am a certified mediator and have conducted a number of them.. When my work allows the time, I have a passion for Colonial American History and the European back stories which lead to the colonization of this Country by European powers.  I also study the Tudor and Stuart monarchs in England and the exiled senior branch of the British Royal family.. I collect regional art and volunteer for a dog rescue organization. I am lucky to live on the coast and get out on a boat or to the beach with my dogs as often as possible.  I pretend to fish and prefer war stories about fishing more than the law.  I am passionately concerned about First Amendment Rights, especially free speach but handle cases in all SC courts on a wide variety of topics. Construction Law is a very active area of practice in this area along with product liability cases.  I enjoy the variety of cases.  I have excellent claims represetatives handling my insurance defense files.  Boredom is never an issue.. It is a smaller part of my practice but the representation of small businesses in these uncertain economic times is very satisfying.  Historic Preservation Law, an off shoot of zoning and planning law, is also a fascinating area of the law.  If forced to define a specilaty, it is working to avoid litigation when best for my client, preparing cases for trial and being ready to try any case.. If you have never visited Charleton, you should for the natural and man made beauty.  If you have any interest in history, forget the high school text book version and come see the real thing.  Travel advice is free.

I am a litigation attorney with over 20 yeasrs proven courtroom experience.   Although not every case goes to court, you need to make sure you are picking an attorney who will go to court if that what is needed.   If you prepare to win your case, then you are in the best possible position.   If you don't prepare to win, then you are almost certainly preparing to lose.. I believe in the value of work.  So, you will typically find me at the office or in court.  It helps that I like what I do.. I do teach Sunday school to 1st graders at my church.  Not only are kids funny (often unintentionally), I find that teaching little kids about faith, values and common sense makes me a better lawyer and person.  Communicating about right and wrong is what lawyers do for a living.   And at the end of the day, I think the world would be a better place if we could remember what we were taught in 1st grade---honesty, respect, responsiblity, commitment, and hard work.

"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.
