good lawyer

I used him to battle costudy for my child, he is clear, strait, honnest, works on "your" interest, advises well, and delivered me what i wanted.

Poor representation

I was a cleint of Eric Thorsen, in the first week of the preliminary hearings he advised me to accept an agreement that was extremely detrimental to my case. Eric quit representing me after four months. Four and a half years later I'm still stuck with that initial misrepresentation.

Want results? Hire the guy that will make the opposing council cringe

I was told, don't hire the lawyer you like. Hire the lawyer you need. And so I got Eric. Is he perfect? No. But if your soon-to-be-ex is a weaseling scoundrel like mine, you better hire the best or you'll be paying for the longest most painful divorce in history. I've seen it happen. Mine? I took Eri...c at face value. Did everything he told me to do down to the letter. And he wins. Bottom line. I did not win every battle but we won the war. You don't like him? Fine. Who cares. He's egocentric. That's how he has to be to navigate the waters of the courts. I paid him a fair amount to get my freedom and he did it. Freida is his best asset. Be nice to her. She always watches your back when the paperwork is front and center. Can't focus? She'll keep you in line. Love this team. I'm paid a lot, no doubt. But I paid less than 2 of my friends that hired a "cheaper" attorney but dragged their cases on for years. One is headed to Supreme Court after 8 years. How is that cheap?

Smooth

Mr. Thosen is one of those attorneys that will charm his way into your heart and the courtroom. However, when the time comes in court that you need an aggressive lawyer, this one is not for you. Also, he neglected to tell me various details of my divorce and in turn I did not receive the settlement... I think I deserved. If I would have have been made aware of all the issues, I may not have chosen to go to trial. By the way, even if he spends one minute on your case, he will bill you at 15 minute increments. And they add up fast.

What happened to me.

In my situation, as if you put anything in the slightest way negative on this review posting, they wont list it. Mr. Thorsen did not represent my best interests, He did not keep me up to date on my case and made dicissions without discussing them with me. His bill's had other peoples charges on min...e and I was billed for things he did not do. I am currently In Supreme Ct. with a misconduct lawsuit against Mr. Thorsen. We will see if this post is allowed, naturally by an attorney.
