Please Guys, no one chose this lady. Worst attorney I've ever seen. A couple red flags I've saw from her is that she argues and debate with her clients and even the judge. Never follow up and prepare for her cases ahead of time, and charges 400 dollars an hour for sitting on her butt to draft a poorly worded order that makes the judge displeased. Please stay far from this lady. Wanted to change me over 5 grand for work she never providing, like the correct orders, not appearing to court, and not filing the correct motions that the judge mandated her to. The judge reprimanded her every court appearance we had. This horrible experience with this lady. Geez, I had more trouble with this lawyer than I had with the opposing party. It seems it was Mary Crain Vs Ellen Cronin. And she won because I gave up

do yourself a favor and take your $3000 retainer and visit the closest casino, find the roulette wheel and let it all ride on red. it would be more pleasurable, less stressful and you'd have a better change towards a more favorable reward. If you lose you'll feel less victimized and swindled by the stacked house

This lawyer scammed my wife and I. Never even went to court or hearings and took all the money we gave her and kept it. Lied about getting in a car accident on the way to a hearing and opening back tracked it saying it was a random back injury. We lost more custody than we had before her because of this. She sent her friend to our hearing and told her not to reach out to us until after it which is why we lost more custody rights. We reached out multiple times to fill in this lawyer Leslie Bonin and never heard back. We showed proof that the judge made a “human error” as Ellen claimed and she refused to reach out to the judge about it with the passed orders we already had and provided her with ourselves since she never reached out for my wife’s file with our previous attorney who confirmed that as well. She stole $3k from us while committing legal malpractice. Horrible attorney to hire! Complete scam!

This lawyer scammed me and my wife. Never even tried to get my wife’s file from previous attorney. Charged us for calls that she refused to speak with me for. Was in some “car accident” so I had to pay for her lawyer friend who didn’t know any specifics of my case who misrepresented me in court. I reached out multiple times before court to fill her in to be told after court she was only instructed to message me after the hearing. After giving this crook our money she stole from our retainer anyway possible and left us with even less visitation than what we had before hiring her. She and her team are homophobic and even lied on her withdraw motion claiming we cussed out her paralegal which isn’t true at all. She noted a poor review I made so clearly is salty towards that. Do not hire this woman. There are plenty of bad reviews out there by real clients and not people she pays to leave kind words.

ELLEN BADEAUX IS THE WORST CUSTODY LAWYER THAT I HAVE EVER MET…if you identify as a male fighting for fairness, just swiftly walk away. Through litigation as a noncustodial parent attempting 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, 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 clearly deserve my review!

Came late to court and then asked the judge for a continuance. Wanted more money from me for her own negligence. When the court date came up a second time, she never showed up and sent her associate. It was a simple change of title issue and Ellen botched it up. I was shocked to get a bill for $2400.00. She is a scammer and will take all your money. Stay away

Nasty unprofessional behavior and does not listen to client. Office is a mess. I hired her for my divorce and she send me someone elses file to review and sign. Wanted to do a discovery for which demanded another 3K from me. In the end me and my ex settled out of court. She only cares about MONEY. Do not make the mistake of hiring her.

Never hire this attorney. I got into a wreck, and she never initiated contact with the at fault party’s insurance or opposing counsel. She even stuck me with a $2000.00 bill; that stated that she was “processing” my file. After 10 months I contacted her, and she had no idea what I was talking about. I went to her office and the secretary handing my files had quit. When I asked Ellen to refund me my money; she literally yelled at me. The woman is greedy and dishonest to the core.
