This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Super Attorney and a Really Good Person

I would have Eric handle all of my personal injury claims. Very qualified attorney and also very personable. He's a really good attorney and a really good person.

Posted by Josh | October 8, 2015 | Consulted Attorney

This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Top Notch Attorney

What can I say about the greatest Attorney dealing with master negotiations against the Insurance companies. He has skill like no other. If you have a case that deals with big injuries than you have to hire him. There should be a hall of fame for lawyers for he would be the first inductee.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I gladly endorse Attorney Eric Hertz! Eric was one of the first seasoned attorneys to share his professional experiences with me after I became a licensed attorney. He is the master of the law of damages and one of the most successful trial lawyers in Georgia. I learn something new each time I observe Eric at trial or attend a CLE in which he participates. Eric is one of Georgia's finest trial lawyers as well as a great guy!"

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
