“What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.”
Ellen was born and raised in a small town in northeast Pennsylvania. She attended college at Loyola Marymount University where she studied Political Science and Philosophy. Choosing to stay in California, she earned her law degree from Pepperdine Caruso School of Law. During law school, she worked in criminal defense, personal injury, as well as real estate law, before settling into litigation defense.
In 2024, Ellen accepted her new role as Senior Associate with Lether Law Group. Her practice includes insurance coverage and litigation of first- and third-party disputes involving both contractual and extra-contractual claims, including insurance bad faith, negligence, and violations of the Washington State Consumer Protection Act and Insurance Fair Conduct Act. Ellen also has trial experience in Federal Court and a strong track record of achieving successful outcomes through mediations and arbitrations. She has also represented clients on a pro hac vice basis in Oregon and California.
In her free time, she enjoys weightlifting, watching the Mariners, and exploring the many craft beers Seattle has to offer.
