Attorney Michael Ehline handled my auto accident case very well. From the beginning, I could tell he is an aggressive litigator who is not afraid of the big insurance companies. He got my car fixed quickly, sent me to a very good chiropractor for my injuries, and negotiated a sizeable settlement for me. I highly recommend him!

They don't handle federal suits but used there own time to direct me in the right direction. Fast and professional.

I needed info about a bad auto accident near the surface streets off the 405 freeway. These lawyers explained to get the most compensation for an auto accident case. I am confident that no other firm will get me more money for a bad car, truck, or bus crash. If you ever get hurt, I think Ehline is the best choice.

I contacted Ehline about a bad slip and fall. Michael the lead accident attorney assisted me in my request. I had no idea how complicated a case like this could be. But Ehline explained how to get money for bills and such. Thanks so much Michael. If I ever get in any other type of accident and need a lawyer I will call on them again.

I was referred to the ELFPC by a co worker who used to work for them for my car accident. Was rear ended and a traffic accident report was done. My new vehicle was a total loss! I was bummed out. The policeman claimed it was my fault and gave the other guy a ticket for driving on a suspended license. As frustrating as all has been, this law office has kept me in the loop moved my case along quickly.

They called, sent me texts, emails, letters and even drove me to a deposition. My concerns are always addressed quickly. Irene is always available on the phone. All my questions are answered. I don't feel rushed and never feel dumb. They really explained things. The efforts of Mike rebutted the policeman's finding. Just recently the insurance took 100% fault for the loss. I am happy. Took a long time and a patient attorney!

I'm still treating with physical therapy and should be done in a couple of months. I hope there is enough to get a new car. I also deserve compensation for pain and suffering. Ehline is an awesome group of people. Definitely choose them if you are looking for a personable experience in a car accident lawyer.

There are tons of PI law firms out there in LA County. However, less than few are as aggressive, prompt, organized, and efficient as ELFPC. Having worked with attorneys in the past myself, I am grateful when a personal injury firm stays on top of the case load. Even better is how responsive James and Irene have been to me as their client. They have a very passionate and dedicated staff. They walked me through every every step of the case.

The process was straightforward. Mike told me that: "You are not a file with us, you are also a friend." He always had time to answer questions I had as they arose via text or emails. I went to ELFPC for a head injury after being thrown from a bicycle. I was overly pleased with the case outcome. If I am ever in a bad automotive accident, or if a friend needs a smart, motivated lawyer, I will definitely refer all my family and associates to their offices. If a a personal injury issue arises I know we will be in good hands.

Ehline has given me great advice on several legal matters. He is one of the most patriotic, God fearing motorcycle injury attorneys I have ever met. He was a Marine and also supports the Second Amendment. Do or die, I know he will get me money in my car accident cases.

Michael Ehline is a very special kind of lawyer...a lawyer that really cares! He takes everything to heart, he treats you like your case was his case. He has a lot of energy and he focuses it all on his clients and their specific needs, he's extremely knowledgeable, empathetic, he puts you at ease and makes you feel at ease in the worst of situations. Thank you Michael for being being a great lawyer and friend when you're needed. I can't recommend you enough!

It's 7:30 am on the East Coast and I am fretting about an issue with my son's school and a search I considered legally grey. I've bantered back and forth with Michael before and figured I'd send an email asking for some generic legal advice, expecting to hear back later in the day or tomorrow. It's not 5 minutes later I get 2 FULL email pages worth of links, documentation, suggestions and this Marine bulldog attitude of "Let's get them!" Either the guy never sleeps, or he is crazily dedicated to helping people.

I'm going with dedicated. His advice is spot on, his attention to detail in his research is beyond reproach and he responds insanely fast. I would have Michael represent me and my family for anything. I'd imagine it's tough to fight and win against a bulldog like him. Ehline, THANK YOU!

Mike Ehline knows how to handle motor vehicle crashes for injury victims. As a veteran retired marine he brings a military attitude of do or die and knows the military concern for motorcycle casualties and motorcycle safety. Compassionate and unrelenting advocacy for motorcycle accident victims and all negligently injured by others is how he rolls. As motorcycle accident lawyer myself in Ohio for over 30 years I would highly recommend Mike to any California biker injured by the fault of another
