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.

Excellent Service

Steve Solomon and Amy Francesco were my two main contacts for the last 4 years. They were always on top of everything and very good with communication. Due to the circumstances that I had faced, they were super supportive and worked out on my case. Needless to say, I had a great experience with this... office.

Highly recommend

I received excellent representation by Mr. Ellis and Mr. Panich. They were very responsive to any questions I had and always made a point to periodically call and update me on my case, allowing me time to recover from my injuries and at least not have to worry about that much. I knew they were workin...g hard for me and the end result proved as much. I appreciate the kindness and professionalism of the entire staff. No chaos and very well run. I would definitely recommend the Ellis law firm to my family and friends. Thank you all!

DWI Problem

I got into a bit of trouble after getting pulled over for DWI. It was very embarrassing. I could not lose my licence since I need it for work. Mr. Ellis was very reassuring that I would get through this and still be able to work. Mr. Ellis turned a bad situation into a bearable one. I still wish i...t didn't happen but everything turn out well.

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.
