Recommendation for Eric Stravitz -- Personable, Professional, Expert

It is with the greatest satisfaction that I am writing this with respect to the legal representation my mother received from Eric Stravitz. As an attorney myself, it was of the utmost importance to find high quality counsel for my mother when she was hit by a commercial vehicle. From the moment Eric... was retained, he exemplified professionalism, honesty and service. While my mother’s case seemed straight forward, there were legal aspects that needed to be navigated in a calculated and thoughtful manner. Throughout the duration of my mother’s case, Eric was always accessible and continually kept us informed of case strategies and case developments. He ensured that my mother was more than prepared for her deposition and mediation. Eric’s experience and legal acumen led to a result that was favorable to my mother. In addition to being an extremely skilled attorney, Eric is a genuine and compassionate man. He made sure that we were heading down the road to a favorable result but always took the time to inquire about my mother’s medical condition. Her recovery and continued wellbeing as a person was just as important to him as it was to me. It is without hesitation or reservation that I recommend Eric Stravitz.

Excellent... Just Excellent

I had been involved in an altercation that had led me through a handful of medical examinations, CT scans, surgery, a costly bill, and a healing period which kept me from attending work and classes. Before making a phone call to Eric Stravitz’s former law firm, I had spoken with a few different law f...irms that had attorneys barred in Washington, D.C. I knew immediately that my search was over. Eric Stravitz was more than helpful throughout my entire case, and gave me the sense that he was equally invested in its success. This became evident after I explained the details of my case and he took it on. He guided me through every step of the process explaining the complexities of the law in terms that I was able to understand. He answered my many calls, comments, questions, and concerns promptly; even once while on a ladder changing light bulbs at a holiday family function. He litigated my lawsuit against two experienced and capable defense lawyers. In doing so, he met and exceeded my expectations time and time again, and made my unfortunate situation far easier to manage. Eric Stravitz has become a friend whose opinions and suggestions I hold in high regard. I would recommend Eric Stravitz to anyone in need of legal representation without hesitation and unequivocally.
