The Best Attorney Ever

Eric is a phenomenal lawyer. I have known Eric for years because I have referred him clients. He is honest, detailed, responsive, extremely knowledgeable in his area of concentration, strategic and most importantly he will deliver the best results possible for his clients. I have had the opportunity ...of helping him translate for some of the cases and I have never seen an attorney that makes sure that the clients use every resource available to help in their case. Moreover, he takes additional steps to make sure the client goes to rehab or takes courses that will improve their overall life quality. I would trust Eric with life. Finally, he always makes sure that his office team has the same work ethic he has. Best lawyer ever!

Compassionate Attorney Who Cares About His Clients with Phenomenal Results

I first met Eric years ago (by referral) when my husband had an issue with his license and was facing jail time and possibly losing his license for years. I thought for sure I would never get out of this nightmare but Eric was able to pull a rabbit out of his hat and thanks to him the issue was reso...lved and we were able to resume our lives without incident. That is until a few months ago when my daughter got involved in a cyberbullying case. Once again I decided to call Eric and he immediately took my phone call and even remembered me (it had been about 7 years). Although we both have very busy schedules Eric took the time to make sure he could meet with me shortly after our call. I was very distraught - even crying - and Eric was very comforting but extremely professional and knowledgeable at the same time. With my daughter facing these charges, I was worried it could change her life. If she were to get convicted and this appeared on her record, it could ruin her chances of getting into a good college and she could have gotten kicked off her cheerleading team and I was in a complete panic. He assured me he would take care of me (just like he had done in the past) and told me he's a fighter and I already knew from our past experience that he was telling the truth. Throughout the case, he always checked in and provided updates and really made me feel like he cared about my daughter and our situation. He is a personable guy with a great sense of humor so we would often share personal stories about our families and tell funny stories which is nice when you are going through such a difficult time. When it was court day (which involved my daughter and 3 other girls) Eric dominated the room. He clearly was in charge and he was the first one to meet with the Prosecutor and we were the first ones to resolve our issue with very favorable results. As a matter of fact, my daughter received less hours of community service in her ruling then the other girls. He was confident and made us feel safe and protected and I knew he was going to get us a good outcome and he did not disappoint! While the experience is nothing I ever want to think about or relive again, at least I had an attorney who genuinely cared, who eased all my fears, who kept me involved, who really knows what he is doing and most importantly got me the result I wanted. I know I will tell everyone I know to use Eric for their legal needs and I know he has a customer for life in me. He not only saved my family once but now twice and I will be eternally grateful. If you are looking for an awesome attorney - look no further. Just call Eric - he is the man!!

Saved My Future

Eric Morrell is an absolutely phenomenal lawyer. He is very professional, caring, and thorough with his work. He was always on top of my case, and gave me confidence throughout the entire process. I am currently a sophomore at Rutgers University, and if not for Mr. Morrell, my future in the field I... am pursuing a career in would have been compromised. He also went out of his way to contact me about my situation, and even called me during his time off. I would highly suggest his services to any of my peers who find themselves in a situation that could jeopardize their future.

A Lawyer that truly cares

In a time of stress and a situation with no hope, Eric offered his services and reassured me that he would do his very best with my case. Though the words were there, they did not sink in until he worked with me throughout every phase of the process. He was accommodating, respectful, and sympathetic.... When the date in court finally came, he lived up to this motto of being "a fighter not a handshaker" and stood by my side as he controlled the courtroom. He promised the best, and he delivered the best.
