I would give Ellen O'Hara Woods my highest possible professional and personal recommendation. Whenever any client or colleague approaches me requesting the name of a top notch appellate attorney I always give Ellen's name. She is an excellent writer with a sharp legal mind. She works hard to keep herself familiar with all relevant developments in case law and is a top notch researcher. She is also, without question, a top notch courtroom attorney, particularly in matters of criminal defense. I would recommend her to anyone seeking skilled counsel. I have the highest level of confidence in both her abilities and integrity. A top notch attorney.

Ellen O'Hara Woods is one of the brightest attorneys I have had the pleasure to work with during the course of my legal career. As both an appellate and trial attorney, she is extremely knowledgeable in many difficult areas of the law and always stands out as a zealous advocate for her clients. Having known and worked with Ellen for many years, it is my pleasure to provide this endorsement on her behalf.
