My relationship with Ellen has been a source of inspiration and information. She is determined and relentlessly advocates for her clients. I am fairly new to the profession/art and I constantly have questions. I can always count on her knowledge and experience and she has never failed to help me when I needed it. I would recommend Ellen Badeaux to my family.
