Arthur Ross Ehrlich's Reviews

Posted by anonymous | November 5, 2024 | Consulted Attorney

This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Realistic advice

I called him for my situation with work accommodation. He was very nice to talk to me for free 10 minutes but it was so helpful to someone who is very lost in legal world. His advice was more benefit for my personal career rather than unnecessary fight. Very dry like a lot of people complain but... very to the point. Let's respect his time also.

Outstanding Legal Acumen and Honest

I hired Mr. Ehrlich 2 1/2 years ago and from the beginning he told me what we were up against. He did not make any promises and he made sure I understood my case was labor intensive and costly. Mr. Ehrlich communicated with me candidly and on an ongoing basis. He is always accessible, responsive an...d very honest. Mr. Ehrlich served as my voice and defender when my employer tried to defame and silence me. The legal correspondences and arguments he drafted on my behalf was astounding and his legal prowress is unprecedented. Mr. Ehrlich kept me apprised every step of the way. He is worth every dime. Mr. Ehrlich is communicative, honest, sharp and tough to beat! If you hire Mr. Arthur Ehrlich, you got the right one and your employer better watch out because Mr. Ehrlich is a force to be reckoned with!

Posted by Caesar

My job, after allowing me to telecommute for nine months, recalled me to work regular hours in person. I have underlying medical conditions that would cause deadly consequences should I contract COVID-19. I was very upset that my employer did not seem to care about these conditions. I contacted the A...merican Bar Association and they referred me to Goldman Ehrlich Law Firm. That is how I came into contact with Attorney Arthur Ehrlich. From the onset, he patiently listened to my concerns and provided me with sage legal advice regarding the steps that I should take, and reviewed my writings to my employer. My employer relented, and will allow me to continue to telecommute until such time that I receive both COVID-19 immunizations shots and for seven days thereafter. What a tremendous relief. I cannot thank Attorney Ehrlich enough for his counseling.

i had a great experience with arthur

I had been terminated by a well known tv show and I really got the shaft, if you know what I mean. Arthur took my case and got me a great settlement. He really went head to head with the tv shows litany of attorneys and I came out ahead because Arthur kept fighting for me through thick and thin. I ...highly recommend him for any wrongful termination suit. He is like the terminator, and he will defend your rights and go man to man with any attorney, if you need a real professional attorney on your side, than Arthur Ehrlich is the man for you.

Protecting the ADA rights of the small guy.

Mr. Ehrlich took on a daunting task of assembling years of documentation to create a case against a adversary who possessed far more resources and funds. He was masterful in extracting the truths and clearly understood their relevance in the law. As the case progressed he remained undeterred by th...e opposition. He asked the right questions when it counted, and clearly kept me abreast of the risks involved. It was necessary to show equal determination to maintain his trust. He respected my priorities, and together a goal was reached. If there were more like him. the world would be a better place.
