This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Police Officer, Ret.

Cops with integrity (Good Cops) are no friends to Bad Cops. As a Marine (A.) with integrity, Michael Ehline, Esq. and I (B.) see eye-to-eye on that. These two reasons are why I have him on retainer.

Posted by anonymous | May 5, 2024 | Consulted Attorney

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

The Attorney of all Attorneys!

Consulted with Michael, he never asked for a penny up front. He told me my options and what I could expect. The other lawyers I spoke with just played the yes game, promised a greater than reasonable outcome, and were more focused on getting me to sign a retainer with fee attached.

Top Notch San Bernardino Injury Law Firm

I was crossing an intersection in San Bernardino, CA when a big-rig truck ran a red light and t-boned my car. My vehicle spun around in a half-circle and my head was partially ejected from my pick-up truck. I had to be extracted from inside the passenger compartment. The crash left me with crippling ...pain that shoots into both of my arms and all the way down to my wrists, as well as a large scar on my left forehead. My ER doctors couldn't understand find why I have this constant, horrific pain. My lawyers from Ehline Law Firm help me by getting me the right medical testing on a lien so that my efforts of recovery are in the right direction

Excellent Attorney!

Michael Ehline is actually the most expert and compassionate attorney. I even have always determined him to be honest, set off and extremely knowledgeable. I notably propose Michael Ehline for all prison desires. We met at some point of one of the most hard instances in my existence – seven years lat...er, he's nevertheless in my corner whilst my family wishes him. Best call that I have ever made.

HIRE THIS MARINE!

I was in a severe motorcycle accident and suffered a broken foot. I hired Mike Ehline of Ehline Law injury attorneys. I wanted a former Marine as my lawyer since I was a Marine. Mike helped me get a truckload of money for the car crash. I am very happy. He returned all calls and my emails. His staff,... including Irene were awesome. I am proud to recommend the services of this personal injury law firm.

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.
