This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

An Attorney who standa for Integrity

I hired Attorney Eric Foster to help solve a case for me. We had agreed on what the amount would be and I put a 50% down payment on. As fate would had it a day or two after I hired him the case was resolved due to a complaint I had made With the consumer financial protection bureau. I called attorney... Foster to let him know what had happened and he was very happy for me, and they even refunded me my original deposit because he didn’t have to really do anything on the case .I cannot express to you my gratitude towards Attorney Foster, and his staff for the honesty and integrity that they have shown to me. I would highly recommend them to anyone who is in need of legal services. I would also like to add their response time is very quick and they keep you in the loop on anything and everything that is going on with your case. So refreshing to see people like this who are there ready and willing to help others when we need them.

Identity Theft

I couldn't be more pleased about the representation I received from Eric Foster. He and his team provided exceptional service. Once he was hired, he immediately started working on my case and got it resolved quickly. He kept me in the loop the whole way through and even spoke to my wife to make sure... she understood the process. I am truly grateful!

Helped out in an unexpected sudden situation

He and his staff were very knowledgeable, kind and compassionate when I was in an unexpectedly tough spot. Spoke with the office right away and was able to go through everything I needed to know the following day. Never felt rushed and great advice on how to proceed.

Awful lawyer

Did not follow through with what we needed and it cost me more than he said it would. Told the process would take no more than 3 months, it took 6 months. I would not recommen him.. Made our situation very stressful.

Attorney Foster and his staff really fight for you

Don't let his calm demeanor fool you. Attorney Foster and his staff truly fight for their clients. We hired him after using another attorney who just told us to pay something that was not our debt (20K!!) as he could not get the other firm to settle. Attorney Foster got the job done and was able ...to settle our case very quickly. We paid pennies on the dollar. He and his staff roll up their sleeves, get to work on your behalf and do not take any BS from the other party. They got the job done for us when no one else could, and we are truly grateful to Attorney Foster and his entire staff. THANK YOU!!!
