Ellis is one of the best, not just in Colorado but nationally. He is as honest as a day is long, very smart and has an impressive body of experience. He graduated from Vanderbilt and then went into law enforcement. He is now a top level private investigator, and he and his firm have helped me and my clients with several cases both civil and criminal. He knows how to get a job done with integrity and intelligence, and with a very pleasant demeanor. He is a difference maker and highly recommended.

I have practiced criminal defense for 23 years and first worked with Ellis on a murder case 17 years ago. After that meeting, Armisted Investigators became my sole investigative firm. I have worked with Ellis and the other investigators at Armistead Investigators countless times, and have found them to be dedicated professionals who will work tirelessly and quickly to accomplish whatever investigation I need. I recommend them without reservation.
