Eric Ole Thorsen

I hired Eric after going through a very difficult divorce and child custody dispute. I was in need of a compassionate, intelligent and aggressive attorney. Eric failed to represent me properly, dragged out my case to make more money and put me in a worse position then I already was. Believe me, you'r...e better going with a free attorney then use this one!!!!

Where do I even start? I was hoping for an amicable divorce. My then STBE and i were in agreement on most issues. Thorson promised to guide me in that direction when I retained him. However, he did everything he could to stir up animosity and keep the fight going, I suspect to be able to bill me mor...e. I thankfully realized how unethical he was before we got to trial and found new counsel. But the damage had been done.

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?

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.
