      3 out of 5

        ELLEN BADEAUX IS THE WORST CUSTODY LAWYER THAT I HAVE EVER MET…if you identify as a male fighting for fairness, swiftly walk away. Through litigation as a noncustodial parent fighting to only gain fair custody allowing decent quality-time with my son; I found myself exiting every court date, with a lesser hand than I’d previously walked in with. -More importantly, she is a lazy litigator whom was tardy to almost EVERY court date. She’d eventually careen through courtroom doors out of breath with wet hair and a typically disheveled appearance. Save your time and look elsewhere for representation. I DO NOT RECOMMEND. The only thing I could reasonably assume at the time, is that she was still a “good ol’ boy” sycophant within the “Walter Reed Filth ‘n’ Corruption Empire,” her office is conveniently a mere 2 stones throws away from the courthouse steps if you prefer proximity over quality. Ellen, I have chosen every word wisely, as you’ve clearly begged for my review.

        My relationship with Ellen has been a source of inspiration and information. She is determined and relentlessly advocates for her clients. I am fairly new to the profession/art and I constantly have questions. I can always count on her knowledge and experience and she has never failed to help me when I needed it. I would recommend Ellen Badeaux to my family.
