"I would definitely recommend. Dealing with divorce is HARD! I know that when I was losing my mind when I was going through my divorce. I tried so many things to ease the pain...including lashing out at my attorney. Ms. Coleman remained kind and passionate about resolving my case. Now that everything is over, I know that I gave her hell! I called so many times a day. I am grateful that she didn't drop me as a client. She was able to negotiate a fair resolution after I have been trying for years to get a divorce. I highly recommend hiring her. She has a whole staff that helped keep my file moving, even when she was out of town."

"Atty Coleman has represented me on 3 separate occasions, and fortunately, we prevailed each time. Coleman is poised, knowledgeable and most importantly, PREPARED! She always had a thorough knowledge of the case history and was able to address critical and specific matters in real time (vs circling back to confirm w/ me). This approach was very impressive and I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking a polished and well-prepared family law attorney."

"I engaged Ellaretha (Jones) Coleman in 2013 for a divorce case. After I paid Ms. Jones, she promptly disappeared and would not return my calls. I had to pose as a new client in order to get her to call me back. When I finally succeeded in reaching her, nearly several months later, she hastily emailed me what was clearly a Microsoft Word divorce template that appears as if it had been found in an online search. The template was missing key information that Ms. Jones/Coleman and I had discussed in my initial consultation and was clearly not admissible in any court of law. After exerting so much effort to get the services I paid for and wasting months of time in the process, I decided to give up and do it myself. This resulted in additional costs and inconvenience for me as I had to file my case on my own (pro se) and take care of all the custody arrangements. I do not recommend this law firm, as I did not receive the services that I paid for and wasted time and money in the process. She is a con-woman and professional scam artist. Seek legal counsel elsewhere."

"She talked a good game, like a used car salesman. But she turned out to be the laziest lawyer I have ever encountered. I hired her for a child custody mediation, and what a mistake that was! Hire her at your own peril."
