I hired Ellie for a complex business matter. I can’t say enough good things about her. She is smart and strategic, kind and thoughtful. She has a terrific sense of humor, which is a must in any negotiation, if you ask me! What I appreciate most about Ellie was that she taught me how to be a better negotiator. She pressed me when I needed pressing, but stepped back when I needed to process. She was flexible and worked with me within my budget. I would highly recommend Ellie and I will continue to use her for my legal needs.

Jessica L.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaEllie is an informed, professional, strategic thinker and negotiator. Ellie served as my lawyer on a challenging case involving multiple parties and claims. From the beginning, Ellie was highly professional and engaged in the case–I felt as if I was her primary priority. She was an excellent listener and helped me articulate and prioritize my goals. She did significant work behind the scenes including research and discussions representing my interests with other parties, thereby saving me valuable time. Having her on my side significantly reduced my stress associated with the case, as I knew she was informed and fighting for my interests. Ellie clearly has an innately competitive nature, which drives her to win. Woe to the attorney who sits across the table from Ellie!!! In the end, she achieved all my goals. I recommend her without hesitation.

Minneapolis, MinnesotaEllie Vilendrer recently helped me to successfully register a trademark for my small business/blog website. I don't think I would have been successful doing this on my own, and am grateful for Ellie's expertise, great communication (making the "legalese" and my rights easy to understand, quick responses, and transparency), and effective work on this for me. I recommend working with Vilendrer Law!

I was provided a referral to Ellie Vilendrer when I needed some legal counsel regarding an IP matter. I could not have asked for better service. When I first called Ms. Vilendrer I expected to leave a voicemail or to schedule a future time for a consultation call. Instead, she answered and made the time right then to have a 45 minute consultation. She was attentive, quick thinking, encouraging, and transparent. I was so impressed that she immediately knew which questions to ask and which considerations were relevant to my case, without having any prior information going into the call. She clearly articulated what next steps I would need to take to organize my documents and offered a very reasonable rate. Ellie manages to simultaneously be professional and personable at all times. When I sent her all my materials, she reviewed everything and provided her analysis in lightning fast time - in about 24 hours!! Truly awesome. Even in that short turnaround time, she provided in depth analysis and recommendations. What really made her service incredible, though, is that she also provided genuine words of support and encouragement. That's going above and beyond in my opinion! The quality of her legal advice was proven by the outcome of my case. Following Ellie's instructions, I was able to effectively advocate for myself through email and in meetings with the university IP office. I have now resolved the dispute over my IP agreement and arrived at an alternative solution. I am so grateful to have found Ms. Vilendrer, and will certainly return in the future whenever I am in need of further legal services.
