Los Angeles Legal Resoures
Welcome to the Ehline Law Firm resources page; the one-stop portal to some of the various educational and authoritative sites we like to use when doing investigative research. Although we use these expert resources often as part of our toolbox, none of the below information is intended to be gospel.
And indeed, none of these resources are meant to be a substitute for a highly trained lawyer. Before taking any court or other legal action, speak with a legal advocate. In any event, education is an integral part of damages mitigation in a tort case, and knowing who the good attorneys are, where the free resources are, and how to use the data.
