Ellis, Coleman, Poirier, LaVoie &Steinheimer, LLP is a 17-lawyer boutique trial firm. We don’t simply litigate—we really try cases. For discerning clients who appreciate this distinction, it makes all the difference. We tailor each case for trial. This approach leads to favorable results for our clients.

Our practice emphasizes complex litigation, including commercial and business disputes, class actions, professional malpractice and serious personal injury cases. Indeed, we handle cases of a complexity normally handled by far larger firms, but we do so in a much more efficient and cost-effective manner.

The firm’s success at trial, particularly in defending attorneys sued for malpractice, malicious prosecution and other wrongdoing, is unsurpassed. We are one of the leading law firms in the United States for defending professionals sued under the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and the Fair Credit Reporting Act.

We understand that our clients’ reputations, finances and futures are at risk in litigation. We provide aggressive but professional legal representation to each and every client—it’s a job we take very seriously.

The firm congratulates Mark Ellis, named to the Super Lawyers® list for the fifth year in a row, and June Coleman.
