Eric P. Franz

I imagine that very few people call Eric Franz on a hot streak. He’s the guy who wins, so he’s the attorney you call when you can’t afford to lose. Eric’s reputation - a fearless advocate, a courtroom bulldog and, most importantly, a winner - is accurate and well earned. But it’s incomplete. I...f talents ended with charisma and ambition, Eric would probably be a very wealthy, retired commercial real estate broker (instead he works harder than anyone I know). Eric is indeed a scrappy trial gladiator who rarely loses, but he’s also a creative and brilliant legal strategist with a love for the law that parallels his love for victory. He runs and captivates his overflowing class at Seton Hall Law School much like he does a courtroom, not just with disarming likability and competence but also a deep understanding and ongoing curiositiy about every esoteric corner of the criminal code. So yes, he’s smooth - straight out of Law & Order central casting - but far more then this, it is his unique combination of passions that makes Eric among the most imposing defense counsel in the country. My personal experience with Eric revealed a final point worth noting, perhaps most of all: Eric is a good man. Celebrities and other clients draw headlines, but I engaged Eric after calling him. on behalf of a man whom I had never met, being held without bail on Rikers Island after an unlawful arrest. The family/his professional network asked me to help find a lawyer. The legal defense fund was less than fully funded, but I showed Eric the promising and ultimately successful Gofundme campaign to cover his fees, Eric took a leap of faith and did what he does best. He performed a miracle.

Eric Franz did an outstanding job with the handling of my criminal defense case from the moment it started until the conclusion. His cool calm demeanor was evident throughout the process. I felt very confident in his abilities and efforts to navigate through the court system. He made me feel extreme...ly comfortable by explaining each step of the process in detail and answered all of my questions and concerns promptly. He made himself available whenever necessary. I would highly recommend him.

Eric was referred to me by my divorce attorney to handle an exceedingly difficult case of DUI. He ended up winning the case for me and I consider his efforts unparalleled in the legal profession. Eric was the utmost professional and made me feel like I was in the best of hands. He is a legal geni...us in his knowledge of the law and due process. He went over and over and over each detail of the case and knew it better than I did as we prepared for trial. I cannot say enough excellent or amazing things about this man as an attorney in his field. He has the highest standards and moral character and legal excellence. I would give him a score above and beyond 10 for how he handled my situation.

Eric Franz is so efficient and really knows how to make you feel confidant in his abilities. I had a delicate situation with my daughter and he was the best - going above and beyond to represent her with the outcome he said he would achieve. I highly recommend Eric and even though I did not meet hi...m personally as I do not live in NY, he took the time to keep me updated constantly, always making me feel confident in the procedure. I hope I don't need him again but if I did I would contact him in a heartbeat and would recommend him to anyone! Thank you for your impeccable service and caring approach!
