About Abbey
Abbey Ellis combines a background in psychology with a law degree earned in 2019. She studied psychology at Kutztown University of Pennsylvania and continued her legal education at New England Law | Boston, where she received her J.D. in 2019. The academic path helped shape her approach to client work, giving her a clearer sense of how people process stress and information during legal matters.
After law school, Ellis established her practice in Massachusetts. She joined the Law Office of Johanna Herrero as an associate lawyer. In that role she has taken on client meetings, legal research, drafting court filings and negotiating on behalf of clients. Her day-to-day work combines courtroom preparation with office-based counseling and document work.
Ellis is a member of the State Bar of Massachusetts. That membership places her among the lawyers licensed to practice in the commonwealth. She participates in the ordinary professional activities expected of an associate attorney, including continuing legal education and collaborative work within her office. Colleagues describe her as methodical and steady; clients see a lawyer who explains options in plain language.
Her undergraduate training in psychology remains a touchstone. It informs how she prepares witnesses, structures interviews and frames legal arguments. The combination of social science and law gives her a practical toolkit for assessing risk, managing client expectations and breaking complex issues into manageable pieces. She applies that toolkit across the assignments she receives at the firm rather than confining it to a single procedural box.
Ellis maintained an active schedule through 2026 at the Law Office of Johanna Herrero. She continues to build experience in delivering legal services for individuals and small businesses, handling both transactional and litigation-related tasks as required. Her current practice centers on providing client counseling, drafting pleadings and supporting litigation efforts at the firm.
