I have known Mr. ?Fontenot for many years, and have known him to always be an honest many of great…read moreintegrity, and always dependable to honorably represent indigents with his entire efforts to present their defense in an honorable manner with his best effort to seek justice for his clients. You can count on Jerry Fontenot to bring his best efforts in his quest for justice.

I felt the need to write this review because of a job exceptionally done. Here is my story.... I…read moreown a very fast sport bike and was issued a speeding violation that well exceeded (100 mph). I soon learned about how serious this is in St. Tammany Parish, pleading guilty, judge wanted to sentence me to a month in jail combined with a stiff fine and another proposed (120) hours community service along with the hefty fines. So of course I promptly retracted the guilty plea and hired Mr. Jerry Fontenot as my attorney for a very reasonable fee. He didn't promise anything at all "Except" that he would do his very best, in which he did. The final outcome after a short period, without me having to attend any court hearings, was a very minor fine and even got the ticket put under the "Article 894" where it wouldn't go against my insurance cost. In my opinion, that's simply "Amazing". In conclusion, my last statement will be that I don't have the need for legal representation often, BUT, I do have an attorney, and his name is Mr. Jerry Fontenot!

I needed a lawyer to help me with a situation that came up almost suddenly. I contacted Mr. Rue, he…read moreimmediately made time for me. He was compassionate to my situation. Extremely thorough and assured me he would handle it. He did just that! If you want an experienced lawyer that gets things done I'd suggest you contact Stephen.

Stephen is probably one of the best attorneys i have met. I have met alot considering i was in the…read morefield. He still has that persona that it takes to be a successful attorney in this circus we call a justice system, but i also believe he has something else. It is more than heart. It is something hard to explain, but of you are lucky enough to have him as your attorney you will see it. My case is a very complicated divorce/custody/support ect.. that has been lingering on and on for almost 6 years. I had a consultation with him very upset and worried about the welfare of my child. He could not make my hearing officer date, but he calmed me down enough to where he could give me the best advise possible and when i came out of the court room the next day i had been awarded more than the ex was trying to take. I shared my happy news with him and was ready to set that retainer down and hire me a new lawyer. He wouldnt take it. Said i didnt need to spend that money to hire him it would be a waste. What??? A lawyer who doesnt want to take you for every cent you have? Cant be so. But he is. Im so glad i had the opportunity to be blessed with meeting him. Unfortunately, my saga continues so he may have to take some of my money at least. I wish him the best and i hope that many people see this review and know exactly where it is coming from and how i feel. Thank you again Stephen Rue & Assoc.

The 1-star reviews are not flukes. I cannot speak for anyone else but if you need another reason to…read moreavoid retaining Ellen, I will tell you my story... I hired Ellen as my attorney from 2018 through 2021 to advocate for me during my child custody and child support case. I was new to the process and ignored several red flags before I had to fire her as my attorney. The initial over-the-phone consultation was 30-days before the hearing date for child custody hearing. We spoke about the facts of the matter, she requested payment. On the day of the hearing, she had no clue what I was talking about when I introduced myself to her. She had to call her paralegal to validate that she was supposed to hear my case that day. Then without my consent she requested a continuance which was denied. On three separate occasions Ellen failed to communicate with me that she asked for a continuance because the hearing conflicted with something within her schedule. She never spoke to me before requesting the judge continue and as a result I was stuck looking dumbfounded as I took time off work hoping to have the matter heard only to have my attorney request the change. Even though I had no ability to effect the continuance I was charged for her appearance that day in court. This happened two more times. I later found out she had to continue due to personal medical reasons and being double booked for a criminal trial. In May 2021 I was sent an invoice for those date and when I questioned why I was being charged for the continuance I didn't ask for this was her response: "For 28 years the answer has been the same. We Continue hearings based on 2 objective criteria: Last scheduled is the case continued, Except in cases we have triaged as priority, i.e. domestic abuse which must be heard quickly by statute or when a child is endangered, The client's case continued, is the client billed. This charge will not be removed from your bill. The next time, another client's case may be continued because it conflicts with your case and you will never know about the other case we had to continue" I received an invoice from her that seemed unusually high. After contacting her I was informed I was being billed for multiple +1 hour conversations she was having with my high conflict co-parent (HCCP). She never even told me those conversations happened. She informed me that since my HCCP was not represented by an attorney she had to have legal conversations with her to ensure she understood what was happening. I informed Ellen that I was not going to pay for those conversations. The straw that broke the camel's back was when Ellen yelled at me during a hearing for not wanting to accepting the terms of an agreement that would allow my HCCP to avoid being fined and avoid paying court costs and lawyers fees when she was found in contempt. I had a horrible experience with Ellen. She has been doing this for a long time but the 1-star reviews are not flukes. Why take chances with something as important as family law

Thank you Ellen and team for sticking out a 2 year adoption battle with me. Your professionalism…read moreand dedication for doing what was right for the child has paid off. I am new first time father and could not be prouder.
