My family and I have been represented by Herb Ellis and his firm, for probably over 20 years. I have been incredibly pleased with Herb and his firm. In a few cases the issue involved motor vehicle violation(s). And in one case he represented my son and our family regarding an incredibly serious accident. I am eternally grateful for The Ellis Law Center! I know “I got the best Herb and his firm “ go beyond” I enthusiastically recommend Herb and his great team.

Michael Bartolomei
They are excellent lawyers. I had some bad luck and I utilized their services in both cases. In short, they did an outstanding job. They took on two of the wealthiest, most successful and most powerful companies on Earth and won both times. The amounts we settled for were significant. They helped make me whole and I am extremely grateful for that. They were successful not just because the two aforementioned companies behaved outrageously towards me but because they are extremely gifted attorneys as well. I would be remiss not to thank and notate that their support staff is extraordinary as well. In short, they pick up the phone, answer their texts and they even call you back. In brief, they are a masters class in teamwork the Ellis Law Firm I mean. I would also like to mention that the two aforementioned companies deployed their army of lawyers as well and we still won! Great job, team. Sorry for the aside. The entire Ellis Law Firm really chipped in on my behalf both times. But, I would like to take this opportunity to specifically thank and praise Herbert Ellis, John Ellis, Steve Slavov, Zainab or Z, Kelli and Joanne. Great job, everyone and thank you again!
