      Review Herbert Ellis

      Personal Injury

      Herb Ellis was my personal injury attorney, but is now my personal friend...He was always there for me and my family. I would not have received a positive outcome if it wasn't for Herb and wonderful staff! If I could leave 10 stars, I would. I cannot say enough about Herb and how great his law firm really is! Thank you for everything Herb, you're a true friend...

      This review is for Marisel Lopez - Chin Esq. Marisel in my opinion is the Most Dedicated & Most Professional Lawyer in the office of Mr. Herbert Ellis. Mr. Ellis should be very grateful for her Honesty, Integrity, Compassion & Drive to help her clients. As a client that is Priceless!! My experience with Marisel over the years has remained the same which is & has been Exceptional!!!!!! Marisel is a Phenomenal lawyer! Actually there is not enough space to write all the Wonderful things to say about her. All I can say is Mr. H. Ellis should count his blessings that she is part of his firm. Thank you very much Marisel for being Truthful & Respectful to me all these years! I'm forever grateful! Sincerely, Ms. M Lewis

      I have had the pleasure of knowing Herbert Ellis, Esq. for the past 6 years. He and his top notch team—like Kelly, Frank & Peter LaGreca, Esq., have gone to bat for me and proudly stood in my corner for every legal issue I’ve had. Whether it was traffic citations, accidents, or even assisting me with filling out legal paperwork, Mr. Ellis and the Ellis Law firm family always treat me like one of their own. Their fees are affordable and you truly get way BEYOND what you pay for when all is said and done. They fight for you, they genuinely care about you & they truly only want the best possible outcome for any and all “clients”. I put that word in quotations because again, they treat you like a family member. Thank you!!!

      First time going through this process

      5.0 stars

      Posted by

      This was the first, and hopefully, last time I had to go through an injury settlement. Super annoying and stressful, but it was nice that they took care of everything. Lesley and Marisel were so helpful with guiding me through the process.

      Mr. Ellis has been my lawyer now for about 5 years, mainly for traffic citations, but a few other things as well. I have been MORE than satisfied with every single outcome. He & his staff always keep me up-to-date, treat me like a member of the family & are always in my corner no matter what. I’ve had a lawyer or 2 in the past that when speaking with them, you could see in their eyes that they doubted me or didn’t really have that much faith in me. That is 100% NOT the case with Herbert Ellis & his wonderful staff. If you ever get in a legal jam, there really is nobody else to call but him.

      I highly recommend the Ellis Law Firm. I worked with Jonathan Ellis and John Purcell and interacted with various people in the office for the duration of my case. All were very professional and knowledgeable about my case. Just was served. Thank you all!
