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.

Mike Peddicord

I hired Michael Earle for two eviction cases where the tenants would not move and fought the process all the way to trial. Because these properties were part of my mom’s estate and were part of a probate it made even more difficult. Michael Earle won both cases and got possession of the properties ba...ck for me and also got me a judgment for all the back rent that was owed (7 months) . He is very smart and talented in the courtroom and gets results. If you need an eviction attorney and you want your property back hire Michael Earle and his prices are a lot less than other attorneys I consulted with ( 4 ) before I hired him. On a 1 to 10 scale he is definitely a 10 and I could not be more happy with the results he got for me.

Best of the best!

Michael Earle of Earle & Associstes is by far the best lawyer I have worked with. I have been a property manager for 20 years with the biggest property management company in Southern California. We manage over 150,000 units and often find ourselves having to evict tenants. I have seen many lawyers... over the years, many of whom have solicited our business. We exclusively use Earle & Associates to handle our evictions. Michael Earle and his staff are extremely professional, knowledgeable and gets results. Mr. Earle is amazing to watch in court and working with him makes the eviction process (which is difficult) a much more pleasant expierence. I would highly reccommend him to anyone needing to evict a tenant.

Saved me from going to jail, More then once

Michael Earl represented me with my dui and some other offenses that potentially could of landed me in jail for awhile. He was really focused on my case and answered any questions I had. He worked out a deal with the court that I didn't even know was an option. ( good luck having a public defender do... the same) I can honestly say I trust this man with my life and I highly recommend that if you need a criminal defense attorney Michael Earl is the person that will keep your record clean and keep you out of jail. Thank you Michael for working so hard on my case(s). I appreciate the work you have done.

Best Closer in the Business

As a federal prosecuter for almost 20 years I have never written a review of a defense attorney. I recently tried a major drug case with Mr. Earle. I contacted several DA's and US Attorneys who have conducted jury trials with Mr. Earle. All of them said he was a great trial lawyer and I better be ...prepared for his closing argument. Knowing this, and the strong case I had against his client, I thought I was as prepared as I needed to be. Mr. Earle's cross examination of our witnesses was impressive. His knowlege and preparation was obvious. The case came down to the closing arguement, in my opinion. Mr. Earle certainly lived up to his reputation as "the best closer in the business". Several attorneys came in to watch his closing argument. His close was outstanding and by far the best closing arument I have seen in my 20 years in this profession. He really is the "best closer in the business" and I would highly recommend him if you are ever arrested. How he walked his client in our case is still a mystery to me, but he did it. He really is the best of the best.
