This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Highly recommend this great attorney

I am writing this after hiring Eric to help a family member. I’ve been an attorney for 11 years and Eric exceeded my expectations. He did research and presented the case just as in our consultations, he provided the type of advice and counsel I value in an attorney. Being honest about risks and li...kelihood of success in brining other claims and about the current case. He is a zealous advocate that upholds what an attorney should be. I have dealt with many attorneys who are not confident enough to speak up in court. Eric does speak up in court, clearly articulates arguments, and advocates for his clients position. I highly recommend Eric to help anyone dealing with a legal issue.

El peor abogado

Le ofreció una sentencia de 25 años a mi esposo indicándole que no tendría más opciones. Prácticamente obligándolo y indicándole que las cosas serían peor si no lo hacía. Decidimos cambiar de abogado una semana antes del juicio. LO MEJOR QUE PUDIMOS HACER!!! A mi esposo le dieron una probatoria y est...á con nosotros. (Solo en una semana) el abogado James logró lo que este individuo NO! Aparte de querer cobrarnos más diciendo que no le habíamos pagado y tuve que enviarle todo los recibos. (Esto lo hizo en más de una ocasión). El PEOR!

Excellent Attorney

I had a speeding ticket. Eric asked me what happened to me that day. He represented me in court and I am very happy with the results!! He is a successful attorney because he listens, cares and understands your situation. He is very knowledgeable and shows great presence and professionalism in and o...utside the courtroom. Going to Eric Trabin from Lucid Law is the best decision I made. M. Lange

He fights for you. Great success

He got me out of a VOP - during the pandemic! Which meant it was more difficult and took longer, - another month - because of courts closing and drastically having to switch from county to county. But he fought for me! Assured me of a successful plea. And can tell from the way he talked to me on the ...phone that he is real nice, passionate and cares very much to win your case.

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.
