I placed my trust in Thomas F Ellis and the Rusz legal service . I retained their services for a family child custody case this past March. Initially Thomas and his legal team impressed us with his history and knowledge regarding family law. He sold us on fair, diligent representation. To my surprise when we finally had our court date, Thomas showed up without his hearing aid (which cost me an hour of legal fees, due too the fact that the court needed to find him a hearing aid so that he could be involved with the proceedings. The court was not able to provide any hearing aid for Thomas, so he wasn't able too properly hear the opposing council or judge. All in all Thomas told the judge I was guilty of contempt and because of his great council, I had to pay my childs mothers legal fees, and I was threatened with jail time if found in contempt of the order. The judge didnt tell me what I was in contempt of. Thanks to my lawyer admitting my guilt with no evidence of guilt, I lost my only chance of a modification for my court order. All in all these are the worst lawyers I have ever use . They talk a good game, but when you go to court, they are unprepared and quite frankly terrible. STAY AWAY

This is the first Review I have ever written, and I am doing so because I want to share my positive experience(s) with the community.

Tom Ellis and his Paralegal Jenna Bartholomew are an amazing team, and “paramount” in all ways. They are professional, and make “serving others” their priority. They go “above and beyond” in all they do. They instill confidence and comfort in me.

I appreciate all they have done for me, and continue to do for me.
I say this with thanksgiving—“I trust my family with Tom and Jenna!”

I have had nothing but a great experience dealing with Tom and his Paralegal, Jenna. From my 1st meeting with them they helped put my mind at ease, with their warmth, knowledge, and genuine caring throughout my entire ordeal. Anytime I had any questions, and I had many, they always looked into it and responded in a very timely manner. They both are wonderful people who really care about helping their clients however they can. They definitely helped me so much and I'm so glad I found them. I would recommend them to anyone that I know without any hesitation.

The staff of this law firm are truly amazing! Mr. Ellis and his staff have amazing communication, answer all questions and are quick to do the work they set out to do. My experience with this firm has been truly remarkable. Mr. Ellis has a wealth of knowledge on many different types of law and i would highly recommend this firm for all of your law needs. Thank you so much for everything you and your amazing staff have done!!

Working with Thomas Ellis and Jenna was a positive experience. They were both informative and provided a business acumen that was crucial in the outcome of my prospective case. They introduced valuable plans when issues arose and conducted themselves professionally and succinctly to ever changing nuisances during the entire ordeal. They were forthcoming and decent throughout the process. They were engaging, outspoken and timely. I have the highest respect for law firm and will not hesitate to use them on future litigations.
