Alan Ellis

National Sentencing and Post-Conviction Law Attorney

The Law Offices of Alan Ellis is a full-service sentencing and post-conviction law firm representing federal criminal defendants and inmates throughout the United States and abroad. Our clients face sentencing and often prison for white collar crimes, child pornography and solicitation-of-a-minor charges, drug offenses, and other federal crimes. We also represent them on appeal and in other post-conviction remedies.

For over 39 years, the firm has worked with defendants and inmates and consulted with many of the world's leading criminal defense attorneys to develop strategies that obtain the lowest possible sentence for clients, and, where incarceration is involved, to have clients serve their time at the best facility possible, with the greatest opportunity for early release.

According to Federal Lawyer magazine, Alan Ellis, the firm's founder, "is one of this country's pre-eminent criminal defense lawyers." The United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit has cited Mr. Ellis as a "nationally-recognized expert in federal criminal sentencing." The San Francisco affiliate of ABC-TV has stated that he is "the best in the business." Verdict magazine quotes other legal commentators as saying that he is "the go-to guy in America if you're in deep trouble with the law."

The firm's areas of concentration include plea negotiations, sentencing, prison designation and transfer, direct criminal appeals, Supreme Court practice, Rule 35 motions, habeas corpus 2255 and 2241 petitions, international prisoner transfer treaty work for foreign inmates and Americans arrested abroad, parole representation, and international criminal law and human rights.

From its international offices in San Francisco, Philadelphia, and Shanghai, China, the Law Offices of Alan Ellis represents white collar clients and others nationwide and abroad.
