Excellent attorney that very successfully negotiated my divorce contempt case.

Eric and his team were well prepared for my case. They are responsive to questions and concerns. He seemed genuinely concerned about me and my situation and it showed in the effort he brought forward. He was much better prepared than opposing council and was reflected in the results. His paralegal, ...Beth, did a great job helping me gather all the necessary documentation and keeping me in the loop on communication with the other attorney and the court. Fees were fair and worth every penny.

Eric and Beth...Excellent

Eric and his partner Beth were both really helpful in getting things settled for me in a quick and easy process. If only the legal system could work as fast as they do. From the first call to the last handshake both answered questions promptly and honestly. Most of all the outcome of my case exceeded... my expectation.

Great Experience

This was my first time I have ever needed a lawyer. I could not have asked for a better service provided by Eric and his company. He communicated every step of the way and I could not have been more pleased with the outcome of my case. i will be using Eric in the future for any of my other needs.

Great personality

While I liked working with Eric and his great personality, as far as work perfomed in front of the judge or bringing key witnesses and being prepared, I have to say "minus" is the word. Unprepared stuff at the least. and not follow through.
