Ehline Law Firm specializes in tort law, and is keenly aware of the negative impression many consumers have about “ambulance chasers.” We are also more than cognizant of the many lawyer jokes that regular folks tell about PI lawyers, and car accident attorneys in particular.

But we want people to know that not all tort lawyers, especially our Los Angeles injury lawyers are wicked, or even “scumbags.” Some of us are in it to help others and don’t pretend to good, we just are good. Overcoming the negative image means crushing the stereotype with good works.

This is why we set up this tort law scholarship. It all starts with education. Open to all pre-law and regular law students, Ehline Law Firm, in a continuing effort to assure squared away and motivated people to enter and stay in the practice of law, has decided to set up this $500.00 legal scholarship fund.

We support legal education, whether it is law office study, or modern law school education. Read more about our offering below.
