Tobin Ellis

Tobin Ellis has found his passion in life. It is to help people. It is to help those people, who through no
fault of their own, have been harmed by the misconduct of others. To hold accountable those “others”
who refuse to do the right thing. To challenge those “others”, either companies or people, who attempt
to escape responsibility for their bad deeds.

By pursuing this passion Mr. Ellis has aided thousands of people in obtaining the legal relief they are
owed. Through his efforts he has facilitated a recovery for those clients and has helped them regain
their footing to move forward after suffering a catastrophic loss.
No stranger to a courtroom Mr. Ellis understands that the great equalizer in this nation is a trial by jury.
He has tried numerous wrongful death cases to verdict and has successfully handled and tried to
conclusion fire cases where the wrongdoers have disputed both the cause of a fire and the damages
owed.

Mr. Ellis attended the University of California, Santa Barbara, where he received a Bachelor of Arts in
1996. He then pursued his legal studies at Pepperdine University School of Law in Malibu and was
awarded his Juris Doctor in 1999. After graduation, Mr. Ellis worked in the large firm setting, where he
provided defense counsel to corporations, insurers and their clients who were being sued for
negligence.

In 2004, he re-focused his practice and dedicated his energy to representing plaintiffs. The experience
he previously obtained has helped him to anticipate the types of defense strategies that he now faces.
Admitted to practice in California, Mr. Ellis is also admitted to practice before the Federal District Courts
in Northern Texas and New Mexico. In 2007 he became a member of the bar of the United States
Supreme Court.

Highly regarded by his peers, Mr. Ellis is frequently asked to speak to groups of fellow attorneys about
developments in the ever-changing law that affects the legal rights of Californians. He has been named a
Super Lawyer, a Top 100 National Trial Lawyer, and has a rating of 10.0 on Avvo. He sits on the Board of
Governors for the Consumer Attorneys Association of Los Angeles and previously did for the Consumer
Attorneys of California.

In 2017 he earned CAALA’s Presidential Award for outstanding contribution to the Consumer Attorneys
Association of Los Angeles, the largest trial bar association in the United States.
