Excellent attorney

Eric helped me achieve my goals with a traffic citation. He brings experience and empathy to the case and reduced significant stress on my behalf. Eric went above and beyond to convince the officer who cited me to reduce my charge even when the officer was giving him a lot of pushback. I wholehearted...ly recommend attorney Eric Mikovch for your legal needs!

Saved my life and reputation and career

From a shop lifting I did. This attorney went above and beyond to keep me out of jail. It was. 579 dollar value of groceries. And I am a first time offender. He prevented me from having my life destroyed by this. He took care of my courts. My record will be cleared in 6 months Got me approved for... ARD. He’s the best LAWYER

I highly recommend!!!!!

I highly recommend calling Attorney Eric J. Mikovch should you find yourself in a situation where you need a defense attorney. I initially called his secretary for an appointment, and he called me back in under 30 minutes and asked me questions to obtain all the information he needed. He recognized h...ow upset I was and offered to meet with me during my lunch time that day. I had intense fear and anxiety, and he reassured me that everything would be ok. I hired him on the spot to represent me and, he won my case for me. Between the time of initial contact to the end of my trial date, he stayed in contact with me via phone and text, replying back to me immediately with answers to my questions. He is professional and attentive, but also very compassionate and friendly. I can't image dealing with my problem without him. My outcome was the best possible. I trust him and recommend him and the Quinn Law Firm with any legal matter.

Worth it

Eric provided me with wonderful legal council and a well thought out plan moving forward very quickly and efficiently. Communication was extremely easy and everything was explained to me regarding my legal matter. I would easily recommend Eric for any legal need that may arise.

Very Impressive Attorney!!!

I was facing 3 felonies and many years in prison. I heard from my wife's attorney of Eric Mikovch. I was impressed the first time I met with him. I put my total trust in on a man I just met. He walked me through step by step what was going to happen and what he plans on doing. I have never had someo...ne that was not family fight for me the way Eric did. Eric took me all the way to trial. I walked out of the courtroom Not Guilty. I would highly recommend Eric Mikoch for a attorney. Couldn't have asked for any better. Thanks Eric!!!
