Ellen M. Ross

Founder and Principal Attorney

Ellen M. Ross is divorce and family law attorney in Longmont, Colorado. She is passionate about helping people solve disputes and protecting those who can’t protect themselves. As a practitioner in divorce and family law, Ellen has both the knowledge and practical experience to navigate complicated relationships. She is so concerned with achieving the best possible outcome for her clients, that even opposing parties (her clients’ former partners) have referred her!

Being an attorney is much like being a therapist: you have to help clients manage big emotions while outlining practical ways to help improve their lives. Ellen takes a systematic approach to family law, so that clients have clear guidance through one of the hardest times of their lives. She always considers which strategy will lead to the best, most realistic outcome – addressing the major concerns of finance, custody, parental rights and more. Ellen empowers her clients to set boundaries and learn new ways to interact; she even has a lending library for topics like dealing with narcissists, passive-aggressive behaviors, domestic violence, parenting, self-help, and self-awareness.

Ellen is licensed to practice law in Colorado and in New York, and has worked in a variety of areas including domestic relations, discrimination, contract law, criminal, and landlord tenant. Her current focus is domestic relations and estate planning. She also works with Boulder County Legal Services and Weld County Legal Services, and provides pro bono work for those who could not otherwise afford and attorney.
