DO NOT HIRE - Horrible lawyer

Please do not hire this attorney, or anyone else in his firm. He rarely returns calls, is always unprepared for court, only consults with us the night before court dates, and is extremely arrogant inside and outside of the courtroom, which pissed off the judge. Fired him after he walked out of a he...aring, leaving his junior attorney to fight my case which he lost. Terrible lawyer, do not hire him.

Really bad experience and waste of a lot money

Unfortunately, I lost too much money with Eric. He never prepared for court and never filed a motion against the other party. He was either very busy or showed little interest in my case after paying him over 50,000. His only interest was to put more money into the trust account so he could charge 2,...500 for an hour in court for which he wasn't prepared and didn't even know what he would say in front of the judge. After trying to prepare for court for weeks, he only met with me 30 minutes before court. He made only promises and no results. I had to fire him because my daughter's custody and my finances were at risk. The truth is, he never showed any results. His only interest was to get more money from me and charge extremely high prices without any results. He met with the other party's attorney and made decisions without my consent. He put too much pressure on me to sell a property that was my only guarantee to defend my other properties from my ex-wife, only to collect his money without any results. After speaking with several attorneys to take my case, none of them gave me a good opinion of Eric. Their opinion was that he only cares about money and never prepares his cases. He charged me too much money to obtain discovery from the other party, which had a deadline of 1/6/25, and at this point I never received it. Just small examples of how poorly I was represented and the waste of time and money with this attorney. Luis vasquez

He fights for me and truly cares

I a currently still in the process of the divorce and custody but curveballs have been thrown and Eric has always been there for me. I trust him with my situation and I know he will do anything to make me feel protected, knowledgeable and comforted. He has fought for me no matter the circumstances th...at have been presented and there has been a few. I can count on him and you can too. Eric, I can never thank you enough. Thank you for being my advocate and making sure I have never felt alone!

The worst

He is expensive, gets things wrong, and is unresponsive. Would have rated him zero stars if I could.

To much going on

It all started off great but, I feel he may be better in the courtroom then anything else. Eric is a bit lazy on doing work/ research ( maybe to many clients and personal issues keeping him busy) he had me believing things that I soon realized were not at all what they seemed and lost me what could h...ave been the easiest case in the world. Eric did t stick up for me or protect me at all in the courtroom and in the end made me feel awful, alone and as always anything but confident. I now need to spend more money and time to get another lawyer to undo the mess he has made. Be careful looks like in the last 2 years, Eric is dropping the ball and not doing what he gets paid to do. We could have won but I still would say he is lazy, hard to get a hold of and will not keep you updated or let you know what is going on. There was absolutely no advice or time given to me unless it was the day to be infront of a judge.
