Eric Lansing Review
I received a serious speeding ticket on I-95 in VA on my way home from Florida. I hired Eric to represent me in court and he did an excellent job getting me a reduced sentence that was more than I had hoped for. I feel part of the reason for the more than positive outcome was due to Eric's prep work ...
Eric Merrill Lansing's Lawyer Endorsements
"Eric is an intelligent, dedicated and zealous advocate. He is young and energetic, but his litigation knowledge, skill and experience is amazing."
"I have had the opportunity to witness Eric in court many times. I can ensure, firsthand, that he zealously advocates for his clients and does an outstanding job for them. I highly recommend his services."
"Mr. Lansing is a great attorney who vigorously and diligently represents his clients. I frequently see him in court - he is prepared, friendly and knowledgeable. I highly recommend him."
"I have known Eric for some time now and was even his supervisor for one summer while he was in law school. Besides being one of the nicest people you'll ever meet, I can tell you that Eric is thorough, conscientious, and sharp."
"Eric is a diligent communicator who keeps his client's interest at the forefront of his practice. I have no doubt that his counsel is always directed toward his client's best interest."
"I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Lansing is very knowledgeable and works very hard for his clients."
"I have known Eric longer than either of us has been an attorney, and have always been impressed with his deep knowledge base, ethical integrity, and confidence. Eric thinks outside the box, which is very important when trying to come up with creative solutions and plea deals, but at the same time, he is a stickler for the rules. As a criminal defense attorney, poking a hole in the Commonwealth's case because they did not follow each rule to the letter of the law allows you to steal a victory from the jaws of defeat. I have personally sought advice from him on legal rules because of his knowledge base he acquired as a magistrate. On ethics, I wholeheartedly endorse him. Your words will be kept in confidence if you retain him and you will know that the judges trust him in the courtroom. You will also not need to worry about being overbilled for services. Eric is a very competent attorney and will represent you well. I strongly recommend him to you."
"Eric and I began our practices around the same time. I spent days and nights working with him and have witnessed his passion for his clients first hand. He is a thorough and diligent advocate, and a steadfast adviser. I have complete confidence in his ability to stand between his clients and the court, to seek justice, and to protect their interests. Choosing Eric Lansing is putting your best foot forward."
"I endorse this lawyer. Eric is an excellent attorney. He is a deeply ethical and thoughtful person and this is reflected in his practice of the law. I absolutely know he will do what is right for his clients."
"Eric is both an excellent attorney and an excellent person. He will work tirelessly to ensure he gets the best results possible for his clients. Can't recommend him enough."
"I strongly endorse this lawyer. I know Eric to be diligent, conscientious, and approachable. He cares about his clients and is equipped to provide high quality legal work."
"Eric is a friendly, dedicated and hard-working attorney who takes the time to understand his clients' individual needs. Eric possesses the skills and motivation to zealously represent his clients, and his personal charm make him a pleasure to work with. I endorse this lawyer."
"I fully endorse Eric without reservation. His detailed client-oriented approach in his practice allow him to make certain that all of his client's concerns are addressed. His knowledge, skills, and experience produce effective results in court. Anyone looking to hire an attorney for their criminal, family, or estate matter would be well served by Eric Lansing."
"Mr. Lansing has proven he has a good understanding of the overall family dynamics, which allows him to service his clients better than if he was focusing solely on the strictly legal aspects. He is also tenacious and determined. More importantly, I believe him to be a fair and honest person. I would gladly recommend Mr. Lansing to anyone in need of his services."
