Ellyn was excellent at keeping me informed about the process and progress. Helped me define my goals for the process and then worked hard to reach those goals, Her professionalism was exemplary particularly when opposing counsel spoke in a demeaning tone with undertones of male dominance. She maintained a completely professional demeanor and did not acknowledge the slight. I was rather upset by it. I always felt like she had my back during. I trusted her to have my best interests in my in all communications with opposing counsel and the court. I would hire her again without a second thought and would recommend her to anyone with interest. She is a superstar in my book.

Attorney Fishkin is truly the attorney for divorce issues. She is easy to reach, knows what she is doing, always takes costs into account, and gets the job done. I have worked with other lawyers and have found Attorney Fishkin to be a great choice. Working with her office is easy, the staff is helpful, and she listened to my concerns. I highly recommend her services!!!! We reached a great and fair divorce.. I am highly satisfied and will call her again if I need help. 

Lawyer Ellen took my case when other attorneys would not due to the many issues I had (custody, retirement, ex who was a cop and more) and that I had been so long without a lawyer. She knew the steps I needed to take, she saved me money by having me collect some of the documents, had me work with her assist when it would save $$ and was ez to talk to. I can say ellen saved my family. She got that I was sad but didnt let that stop her from helping me.

I hired Ellyn to help me with my divorce. Ellyn was able to assist me with a favorable outcome, kept my Wife's attorney in line, and was very responsive to my communications.

Ellyn represented me in my divorce. She was responsive to my concerns and provided all information I needed. She understood that my children were most important. Working with her office was great. I ended up with a divorce agreement that met my needs and ended the conflict with my husband. She was just what I needed in a really difficult, emotional situation.

Ellyn did a fantastic job representing me in my child custody case. For the first time I really felt like someone was advocating for me and I couldn't be happier with the result. Would definitely hire again!

Throughout my case Attorney Fishkin frequently ignored my case for very large and unreasonable spans of time. I would specifically inquire as to status and be provided no response or a response indicating that she was “working on it” or it was “on her radar”. After months, I would learn nothing had been done to advance my case. It was embarrassing for me as my former spouse would always know more about the status of things than I did. She has been very challenging to work with and if I had to ever do this again, I would not hire her again. I will not be recommending her to anyone I know.

Attorney Fishkin is an amazing family law attorney. She has represented me in my divorce and in multiple related cases with my ex-spouse. She is an advocate for clients, she is supportive, honest, extremely intelligent and she is a force to reckon with in the court room. She is perfect mixture of honey and spice. Honestly, I would not go to another attorney to represent myself and children. If you want an attorney who will fight for you and your family with the compassion, intelligence and effective in an out of the courtroom then Ellyn Fishkin is the right attorney for the job!

I hired Ellyn Fishkin for my family court case. I found her to be generally unresponsive and after a significant amount of time and many many follow ups on my part it became clear she had not done the work I retained her to do. I feel she pulled me to hire her with promises of being there to help me only to ignore my case once I had retained her and had paid my retainer. I feel that the long-standing period of unresponsiveness has severely prejudiced my case and it is upsetting that I have received no explanation after all of this time. I am now left without my finds to retain a new competent attorney.

Ellyn helped me with my crazy divorce. She was smart, took all aspects of the process into consideration and was very clear with the potential outcomes. I found her easy to talk to and easy to communicate with. She helped me and my family in our very stressful situation.

In a difficult case, and dealing with a difficult attorney from the opposition, Ellyn always remained calm and clear headed. She continually was one step ahead of the opposition in a very hostile divorce and controlled a very aggressive stance from the other side. Ellyn is very focused on what is best for her clients and is very honest.

I had a very bad experience with Attorney Fishkin. She would never respond to my communications asking for updates in my case. I learned after several months nothing had been done on my case and I was no further along than when I started.
