Ellis Law Office in Southern Illinois

Criminal Defense ◊ DUI ◊ Family Law 

I am attorney Jim Ellis and I have represented men and women throughout southern Illinois for over a decade. My practice includes counsel in divorce and family law and criminal law, including DUI cases. I offer personalized attention to your legal needs at prices that you can afford. Contact me to schedule a complimentary initial consultation.

I recognize that every situation is unique and that, to best serve my clients, I need to understand their values and concerns, as well as what they want to achieve. I don't propose the same solutions to every client. Instead, my advice and the course of action I recommend is based on each individual and their needs.

Criminal Law and DUI

I aggressively defend individuals who have been charged with felonies, from aggravated assault or battery to homicide. I have worked extensively with defendants in DUI cases and have in-depth knowledge of the courts and procedures as they pertain to drunk driving charges. For more information about this area of my practice, please see my criminal law and DUI page.

Family Law and Divorce

In my comprehensive family law and divorce practice, I represent clients at all phases of a marital breakup, from the initial filing through post-judgment requests for modification or enforcement. I handle child custody and visitation matters, as well as support and property disputes.

For cost-effective problem solving from an experienced southern Illinois criminal defense lawyer, contact my offices. All new clients receive a free initial consultation. I offer flexible hours by appointment.
