Client Review:
I got my disability retirement with Ellen’s help
It’s amazing what a google search can do. Ellen represented me for my disability retirement hearing with the City and County of SF. I would’ve been lost without her. She has so much experience dealing with The City that she knew people by first name. “Oh, so-and-so? Yup, no problem.” I knew I was in good hands. Ellen is intelligent, sharp, honest, thorough, and doesn’t beat around the bush. I love that in a lawyer, especially when I’m in a vulnerable state and waited three years through the pandemic. I highly recommend Ellen, and in fact, I did.

Compassionate advocate
Compassionate advocate that helped represent our case that was dragged on for 2 years. She was able to explain the steps thoroughly and is detail-oriented. With her help, we were able to get a good deal and increase the benefits. Her fees are also reasonable.

“I needed representation for the disability pension hearing for the CCSF. Ellen was not only an expert attorney but had lots of experience of working with the different individuals involved in the process. She was right on point. She is personable, professional, calm, knowable and realistic. She does not make any promises but ensured you are taking the best steps to win the case. There are lots of attorneys in the Bay Area. However Ellen is definitely the most experienced and knowable dealing with county and city government. I would definitely hired her again.”

“I highly recommend Ellen Mendelson.
“Not only is she the only attorney I have ever met that ever beat her reasonable estimate on legal cost. She also answers your call live, or calls you back in less than 4 hours. Ellen is both responsive and tenacious. She successfully defended me on a complex employment issue, winning me a successful dismissal of charges and allegations, which vindicated me.
“Ellen looks out for your personal rights and freedoms, as if you were her family. She is an expert in employment law and individual rights, and will vigorously defend your rights. If you are looking for an employment attorney representing you, look no further.”

“Ellen Mendelson saved my life. I was entangled with a very difficult legal issue concerning my status in a professional partnership. When I went to see her, I was distressed and was not sure how to proceed. She was not only very professional but was extremely friendly and sympathetic. She listened to my report of the case, analyzed my situation, did research to look for the outcome of other similar cases and very quickly came up with a solution. She then wrote a very strong and clear letter stating the favorable outcome of similar previous cases that had been reported. That letter helped resolve the issue right away. She was able to rapidly solve a very difficult case, smoothly, and for a very reasonable fee. I think she is fantastic and I owe her a lot.”

“Thank you for your recent and continuing Participation in KALW’s “Your Legal Rights.” As you know, the Bar Association of San Francisco sponsors this show because of its public service focus. Without the commitment of attorneys such as yourself, this program would not be possible and many Bay Area residents would simply not have direct access to sound legal advice.
“We appreciate your valuable assistance to the Bar Association’s public service programs and look forward to providing you with more referrals in the future.”
— Carolyn
“Thank you for referring attorney Ellen Mendelson. She brought our case to a very successful conclusion and was extremely professional throughout the entire matter. She kept us informed of every detail making sure that we completely understood the legal process. She also guided us through the difficult process of making decisions about the handling and direction of our case. It was a pleasure working with Ellen and we will do so again should we need to retain counsel.”
