The Best Law Firm

When I found myself in need of a personal injury, lawyer, I was overwhelmed with the choices and the seriousness of my situation. After a thorough search, I decided to entrust my case to the Ellis law firm and it turned out to be the best decision I could have made. From the very first consultatio...n, Ellis law demonstrated a level of compassion and understanding that immediately put me at ease. I felt like they were taking care of me just like family. They were not only knowledgeable about the law, but also genuinely concerned about my well-being and recovery. Throughout the legal process, Herb Ellis and the Ellis law team kept me informed, educated me on my rights, and we’re always available to answer my questions. The dedication and meticulous attention to detail were evident in how they handled my case. Ellis law fought tirelessly for my rights and ensured that I received the compensation I deserved. Their negotiation skills were nothing short of impressive, and they managed to settle my case swiftly and favorably without the need for a prolonged court battle for almost $1.5 million. What truly sets the Ellis law firm apart is their unwavering commitment to their clients. They went above and beyond to ensure that I had the best possible outcome and their support was invaluable during one of the most challenging times of my life. I am deeply grateful for the exceptional legal representation. I received from the Ellis law firm and would highly recommend them to anyone in need of a personal injury, lawyer. Their expertise, empathy, and tenacity are unmatched, and I am confident that they will continue to make a significant difference in the lives of their clients thank you Ellis law. You are in my heart forever.

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 r...eally is! Thank you for everything Herb, you're a true friend...

The best, hands down.

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!!!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
