A brilliant attorney who wins her high-stakes lawsuits by [[BlackmailIsSuchAnUglyWord any]] [[BadAss means]] [[PrettyLittleHeadshots necessary]]. Hewes is a tempered-steel IronLady, but still manages to frequently surprise with the depths she'll sink to to PayEvilUntoEvil. Her backstory and true motivations are slowly revealed as the series progresses. Could easily be the poster child for AmoralAttorney, and in any other show, would be the villain.

* AmbitionIsEvil: Ellen's entire problem in a nutshell; even though a sane person would have walked away from Patty after season one, Ellen's driving ambition to be the best sadly keeps her in Patty's orbit in order to be used by her. While Patty spends most of seasons two and three trying to get Ellen to embrace her destiny and let herself be groomed to run the law firm when Patty retires, by season four Patty realizes that Ellen will never bow down to her in order to "get her reward" and wants to outdo Patty (hence her taking on not-Blackwater).
