Do you want honest, ethical, assertiveness fighting for you?

Eric was a real pleasure to work with. He was professional, understanding of my situation, and serious about my case. He kept me thoroughly informed, was easy to contact for questions, and to return phone calls promptly. Eric is very knowledgeable about State laws and statues and kept me inform...ed about how potential new laws could affect the outcome of my case. This is an attorney that, in my experience, working with him, does NOT play dirty in court. He does not get argumentative or aggressive but he is very assertive, aand does everything possible to do the right thing for his client, and he will fight for his client, but he goes about it ethically. He kept his objections valid and to a minimum. The biggest thing i have noticed about Eric is that his office is clean and simple, in the sense of not cluttered with case files, or tons of law books. He respects his client's privacy and discloses nothing about his other cases. He is trustworthy, honest, and has high ethics and morals.The next time I need an attorney, Eric Woodward will be the first one I call.

The Best Choice You Could Make for Yourself

Attorney Woodward is an excellent professional - competent, knowledgeable and personable, with an amazing grasp of the law. During our initial consultation, he truly listened to our situation and gave his recommendations after fully understanding our circumstances. He is not overbearing or full of ...himself, but rather is extremely competent and understated. His billing practices are above reproach with his rates being reasonable, billing statements fully documented and work specifically described. Most of our communication took place through email and his responses were prompt and succinct. Mr. Woodward was very honest and upfront in his assessment of our case and did all that he could do to settle our issue without going to court. But in the end and despite his best efforts, that's where it ended up for several days. He did an amazing job letting us know what to expect and how to prepare for Court. He was extremely focused in the court room and didn't miss anything that went on while he was in there. After each session in Court, he took the time to explain what had happened, what to expect next and his overall feelings on the proceedings, being sure that we understood it all. Thanks to Mr. Woodward's efforts in the courtroom, the outcome of our case was better than we had expected. We are very thankful that we found an ethical and trustworthy attorney and would absolutely recommended Attorney Woodward to anyone who finds themselves in need of counsel.

My general review

Attorney Ric, is a respectable and knowledgeable person in the case that he is working on. I never met him personally until the day of mediation. We had a conversation over the phone and emails constantly and he will respond to any questions you have in less than an hour if he is not in court. I wi...ll recommend him to anyone going through a divorce and need a trustworthy attorney to represent him/her. The cost is reasonable and he will also work with your finances.

Timely, relevant advice from an experienced perspective.

When I made the decision to file for divorce in February, I was confused and stressed, and felt very alone in the process. I was referred to Ric by a friend who praised his experience and insight, and she could not have been more correct. From our first conversation, Ric was honest and direct, yet he...lped me to feel in control of the process and to really understand what the road ahead looked like. Through each stage of the process, Ric was a fantastic communicator, always responding promptly to my questions and concerns, and always reinforcing his advice with real world experience that related directly to what I was dealing with. When we began to fill out our financial affidavits, I was completely lost in the mountain of paperwork that was required, and Ric took the time to walk me through the forms, explaining what was needed from me with each section. At mediation, I was concerned about the emotional component, and Ric kept the entire tone of our meeting calm and friendly, which expedited the process for us in a huge way. Ric's relationships with the other attorney and the mediation office were a huge boost to my confidence in the process - I always felt like I was being counseled by someone who was in control. Ric is a great person who shows sincere care and concern for his clients - I felt supported through every step in the process. I'm thankful for Ric's advice and guidance, and I would strongly recommend him for anyone seeking solid legal counsel.

AN ATTORNEY THAT GOES ABOVE AND BEYOND......

I'm normally not the type that would take the time to write a review for a company or someone, but I couldn't hesitate to do this after my experience with Ric Woodward. From the very beginning, of presenting my case to him and explaining what needed to be done, he immediately took action. Not only di...d he show concern and willingness, through the entire process, he always made sure that no matter what I requested, he did everything in the best interest of my son. I would extremely recommend Ric to any of my friends or family, or to anyone in need of a family law attorney. He will get the job done as quickly as possible and make sure everything is done in the best interest of everyone involved. I never had a problem getting a hold of him. I never disagreed with any of his actions on any matter. He has made a huge difference in my life and the relationship that I have with my son. I can't explain in words how grateful I am for having the opportunity of working with him.
