"I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse Eric. He is a highly skilled attorney that is well respected in the legal community."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have known Eric for more than fifteen years. During this time I have asked him to represent clients and close friends who needed an excellent advocate in personal injury matters. They have always been grateful for his help, and pleased with the results. Eric is highly intelligent, energetic, and focused. He understands the trust and reliance essential to a client's confidence in a lawyer, and he earns that trust and reliance by thorough preparation and attentive hard work. I highly recommend him."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. I have known Eric for several years. We have been on opposite sides of s particularly difficult case and I had the opportunity to observe his skills first hand. He was a worthy advocate for his client and a tough negotiator who was always prepared and able to marshal the facts to his client's advantage. Since then we have collaborated on a couple of matters and currently have a case where he is handling a tort claim and I am handling a workers' comp claim for the same client. I have been impressed with his quick grasp of some touchy issues and his judgement in negotiating the tricky waters that lie ahead of both of us as the case moves forward."
"I endorse this lawyer's work.Eric Parker has worked with our firm on various matters over the past 20 + years and during that time has handled matters for friends, family members , neighbors and in some instances highly valued clients who we referred because the situation at hand required a certain expertise and we considered Eric Parker to be at the very top of his field.Without qualification we have been extremely satisfied and have had positive feedback from everyone we referred."
