Jerk and a clown

If i could give this clown jerk piece of garbage a 0 star i would. Besides rude and hostile with the defense he makes personal threats once the agreement is not reached or goes the way he wants to. Not sure if he has influence in West Covina courthouse but something weird goin on there.

Mr. Fraud Upon The Court Case #22WCUD00143 M.C. Earle aka Mr Fraud

On May 9th, 2022 Michael C. Earle Bring 49 pictures and video of me not using my crutches into an Unlawful Detainer Hearing in West Covina Los Angeles Superior Court Dept 2 and with the help of Commissioner Jose A. Rodriguez a Default Judgement was awarded to M.C. Earle falsely stating I was a failur...e to appear. My name is the appearances section of Minute order from May the 9th, 2022 case #22WCUD00143 and I have sworn declarations from M.C. Earle Stating I appeared on time remotely via Microsoft Teams Video which I did and sworn declarations from M.C. Earle #188290 that I was a failure to appear. This Erroneous Default Judgement was awarded at a sanctions hearing on May 9th, 2022 depriving me of my right to a Bench and or a Jury Trial. See you in the Appellate Court where I am sure Moral Turpitude will lead to your disbarment. I pray Hon Patricia Guerrero make an example of you. M.C. Earle was hired by my former Landlord Positive Investments of Arcadia and filed Unlawful Detainer Feb 8th 2022 an hour after I filed a complaint with The Los Angeles Dept of Public Health for Failure to make timely repairs at 333 N. Rockvale Ave Azusa CA 91702 =1942.5 aka Retaliation Eviction

Fraudulent

He filed papers that I was served in person at home. I was at work all day so that was physically impossible. Due to his lies, I was evicted. Be very careful.

Best Trial lawyer you will find

I am a repeat customer of Mr. Earle. Mr. Earle got me a Not Guilty verdict on all 8 of my drug sales counts 2 years ago. I was arrested again and charged in Federal Court. My co-defendant had a lawyer that blamed everything on me. Not only did Mr. Earle have to fight the U.S. Attorney, but he had... to fight my co-defendants attorney. His closing argument was awsome. Othe lawyers from the courthouse came to watch him, he really is that good. I can tell you he did not disappoint! The jury hung on my case 6 to 6. The U.S. Attorney dropped the case against me. I know he did not want to face Mr. Earle again. I would love to come watch him again, as long as I am not the client. He is an AWSOME trial lawyer and a good guy.

NOT GUILTY ON ALL COUNTS

I was charged with cocaine possession, transportation and sales. Due to my immigration status, I could not accept a deal. Mr. Earle was referred to me from another lawyer. He treated my family and I with respect and kindness. He met with us several times and took my case to trial. He was well pr...epared and counter-attacked the police officers testimony against me. His closing argument kept the entire courtroom on the edge of their seats. Watching him was like watching an episode of L.A. Law. He was amazing in his closing argument. I was found NOT GUILTY of all counts. I was offered a 4 year deal. Everyday I wake up in my own bed with my wife and 2 year old. I thank god and Mr. Earle for my freedom. He truly is the best and I recommend him to anyone. Every lawyer who wants to learn about trial law should go watch him. He is amazing.
