Property

I tried to hire few lawyer but no one would take my case and surveyor wouldn’t do their job. I hired Eric and I’m very pleased I did . He went out of ways for me and was very responsive and reasonably price . I would call him immediately if I ever needed a lawyer again

Respected and Personable Up-And-Coming Attorney

Eric stepped in to handle my case while my attorney was away on vacation. I was hesitant to deal with a different attorney but it was a move that proved to be very beneficial for my case. When I arrived for my court appearance and met with Eric, for the first time, I instantly liked him. Not only is ...he personable, but he a sound grasp of the law and countered every argument made by the District Attorney, which resulted in the dismissal of my case. Eric made it clear that we were "swinging for the fences" previous to appearing before the Judge, and he definitely hit a grand slam that ended in a result that I did not fathom to be possible. I am very thankful Eric was willing to take on my case, as if it were his own, while my attorney was away for the week. It speaks volumes about his integrity and reputation within the profession.

Excellent Attorney

Went to this lawyer for help with some traffic issues. Was immediately impressed with how personable and courteous he was. He seemed to take a genuine interest in getting my case resolved for me. He knew exactly what to do and how work towards a favorable outcome; everything worked out. I was very sa...tisfied with him and will contact him again if I ever need to. Highly recommended. He charges very reasonable rates.

Amazing lawyer. New in the field but works really hard and always available. He charges only for the work he does unlike almost other lawyers I have hired previously.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
