About Phillip Ellis
Hello, I’m Phillip Ellis, founder of the Ellis Law Firm of North Louisiana. I am dedicated to providing honest, straightforward, and fair legal representation to those in need. Whether you require legal assistance or guidance in finding the right resources, I am here to help—examining any claim with no initial obligation.
I was raised near the Kisatchie National Forest in east central Claiborne Parish and attended Cedar Creek High School in Ruston, graduating in 2005. I went on to earn a Criminal Justice degree from the University of Louisiana Monroe in 2009, graduating cum laude. My early career was rooted in law enforcement, where I served as a correctional deputy with the Webster Parish Sheriff’s Office and graduated from the North Louisiana Criminal Justice Academy with academic honors in 2011.
My passion for law led me to Mississippi College School of Law in Jackson, Mississippi, where I served as an officer for both the Moot Court Board and Law Review. I also worked as a research assistant to now-Dean Patricia Bennett and completed a judicial externship in the Third Judicial District Court, assisting Judges Cynthia Woodard, James Boddi, and Jay McCallum. In December 2014, I graduated magna cum laude and passed the Louisiana State Bar Exam in February 2015.
I began my legal career with the Louisiana Department of Justice, Office of the Attorney General, where I defended the State of Louisiana in cases involving workers’ compensation, general liability, medical malpractice, civil rights, and road hazard claims. In 2019, I established the Ellis Law Firm of North Louisiana in Farmerville, committed to protecting the rights of individuals and businesses across the region.
At Ellis Law Firm of North Louisiana, I strive to ensure that every client receives the highest level of legal service. I am available to meet after hours and on Saturdays by appointment to accommodate your needs.

THE PERSONAL FAMILY LAWYER PROMISE
What makes PFL lawyers different?
-
How you hire us.
We begin with a comprehensive inventory of everything you own, and everyone you love, and consider it all in a working meeting, called a Family Wealth Planning Session, to guide you to clarify your financial life and legacy goals before we draft a single document.
-
How we plan.
We work with you throughout every life stage to map out the most likely scenarios for you and the people you love, planning for each as your life, the law, and your assets change over time.
-
What we protect.
Our Life & Legacy Planning process ensures everything that matters most -- from your financial assets to your values, insights, stories and experience -- are captured and documented during your life and cared for over the generations to come.
-
What you see.
Transparency in our process, and our fees … all of which are flat fees, agreed to in advance, based on your choices and with no surprises, ensuring we stay on the same side of the table - supporting you to make a lifetime of great decisions - every step of the way.
-
How we deliver.
Our systems help you get clear and organized, overcoming the exact issues that keep most estate plans from actually working when they are needed most. We help you leave your family with a gift of love, and not a mess.
-
How our plans work.
One-and-done estate plans focused only on money are a recipe for a big mess. We help you throughout every stage of life and be there for the people you love, when you can’t be.
