I had the opportunity to work with Yancey Ellis during one of the most difficult times in my life and could not have found a better attorney to work with! Yancey was amazing throughout the entire process - he was very professional, dedicated, and responsive. Nothing made me more anxious than not knowing what was going on, and it was never a worry with Yancey. He kept me informed at all times, answered my calls and texts no matter the time (day or night) and made sure I understood exactly what was happening at all times. Yancey did not make promises he could not keep, but did promise to help me get the most favorable outcome possible and on that he absolutely delivered! I would STRONGLY RECOMMEND Yancey Ellis and Carmichael, Ellis & Brock! I am forever grateful for his help.

I recommend the services of Carmichael Ellis & Brock. I retained the services of Yancey Ellis for three criminal charges and with his help all three charges were dismissed. I also recommend him to get charges expunged. Yancey was also always available to help or advice and explain throughout the process that lasted 10 months.

I retained Mr. Norton during the pandemic to update my estate plan including my will, living trust and associated documents. I’m a disabled vet and Sebastian went the extra mile to coordinate with my out of state tort attorney who had previously represented me in asbestos litigation to ensure that future settlements were also included in my will. Sebastian dealt with all the possible eventualities in my estate many that hadn’t occurred to me. Sebastian was very flexible in consideration of my disability and completed my estate remotely including executing the documents on the sidewalk while I remained in my car on a cold February day. I highly and unreservedly recommend Sebastian Norton as your legal counsel especially if you are disabled.

I highly recommend Yancey Ellis. I had the best result due to his brilliance and expertise as a lawyer. I am so thankful for his dedication, compassion, and professionalism that got me through a very challenging time. Anyone would be lucky to have him by their side.

Yancey Ellis represented me against the U.S. Government (U.S. Marine Corps) when I was facing a General Court Martial, forfeiture of all pay and allowances, military retirement and up to 45 years confinement. Some of the charges were challenged prior to trial by attorney Ellis, and as a result, some were "withdrawn without prejudice" before the trial began. I was a senior enlisted reservist who was mobilized to active duty, Pentagon, who also stood to loose my civilian career in law enforcement job and with the government having an unlimited budget, reach, resources, outside tele-communications companies assistance, banking institution information technology experts, and financial and analytical subject matter experts from the highest level of the Marine Corps who supported their efforts, they were still no rivalry for the argumentative competence of Yancey Ellis. His words to me of "I'm on your side" were an understatement. Additionally, at the time of sentencing, with the government being so convinced that they had proven their case, which was fraud, making false statements, filing false travel claims, theft of over $100,000, lying under oath, just to name a few, there were a courtroom full of high ranking military officers present to observe the success of the prosecutors and the government. Their assurance went as far as having pre arranged escorts present to transport me immediately to the brig. But that's why I hired Yancey Ellis, and after his powerful closing argument, disputing all the evidence presented by the U.S. government, and raising doubt in the validity of every witness against me, the judge immediately ruled "NOT GUILTY OF ALL CHARGES." The defense he provided for me validates why he was the U.S. Marine Corps Defense Counsel of the Year.... Semper Fi Michael

Mr. Norton represented me in August, my case was dismissed well because the person lied but he is the best attorney I've had, easy to talk to, smart and will do the most for you

Counselor represented me well! and got the charges dropped. He knew what to say and had a great plan.

I would like to take the time to thank Mr. Sebastian Marks Norton for helping me to have my case finalized and the outcome was to my favorite as well. Mr Norton negotiated with the Commonwealth's Attorney. He also had the knowledge an understanding about my case and my situation. He was also very polite and made me feel things are okay.

Mr. Ellis was very professional and knowledgeable in his handling of my matter. He took the time to explain the process I would be going through and was always quick to respond to any and all questions.

We highly recommend Sebastian Norton. He was professional, knowledgeable, attentive, friendly, and easy to talk to. My husband and I hired him to prepare our estate planning documents during the pandemic (Wills, Powers of Attorney, and Advance Medical Directives). He walked us through all the details of creating these documents and answered our questions carefully and patiently. He ensured that we understood everything and were comfortable with the final outcome. He listened carefully to everything we were trying to accomplish and drafted documents that provided exactly what we wanted. The entire experience was superb – if we need a lawyer in the future, we will definitely go to Sebastian.

Yancey is a rock star! Professional, quick, and effective. He treats clients with dignity and isn't afraid to use his expertise and skill to fight aggressively on their behalf. I can't recommend him and the firm enough.

Definitely recommend Ellis ! Smooth case & Provides help & Will answer any question you have with no stress ! 5 stars !
