Brock Ellis - Oklahoma City, OK

Being honest with his clients from the beginning is a key part of being a successful attorney for Brock Ellis.

Honesty between an attorney and client is all about "trying to help manage expectations, prepare them for the cost of protracted litigation expenses, and work with them to find alternative ways to accomplish their goals effectively and efficiently," Mr. Ellis said.

In one particular case, Mr. Ellis was able to help a father achieve his goal of more parenting time with his children despite the Guardian Ad Litem’s clear bias in favor of the mother.

Unfortunately in this case, courts are very likely to follow the recommendation of the Guardian Ad Litem, who is required to put the best interest of the minor child(ren) above anything else, including preconceived biases.

However, Mr. Ellis was able to convince both the Guardian Ad Litem and the court that it was in the child’s best interest to be in the custody of the father, which was ultimately granted.

"I enjoy working with real people on real issues and helping resolve their concerns and disputes," he said.
