Our History: Creating a Respected Legal Resource in Vancouver, WA
Priest & Ellis, PLLC launched with a single mission in mind: to offer ethical, compassionate, effective legal representation to individuals and families throughout Vancouver and all of Clark County. Founded by family law, elder law, and criminal defense attorneys Erin Priest and Stefanie Ellis, the firm answered a call for more client-centered legal advocacy-where client happiness and success are valued above hours billed and cookie-cutter solutions. Both attorneys are effective and experienced litigators with decades of combined experience, shaping Priest & Ellis, PLLC into a firm that values integrity, direct communication, and the highest ethical standards.
