This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Highly Recommend

Eric Kay was recommended to me for an unfortunate situation this past December 2014. Although my situation had put me in such a high degree of anxiety Mr. Kays calm demeanor and honesty really put me at ease. Mr. Kay did not provide me with any false hope regarding the outcome of my case, but was sup...portive, and available throughout. I highly recommend Mr. Kay.

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Eric A. Kay is without doubt one of top attorneys in S. Florida. Do not hesitate to hire him for your legal affairs.

Eric was recommended to me from a close friend of mine who lives in Miami, FL. I hired Eric for a criminal case that I was accused of in Ft. Lauderdale. Not only did Eric get the case dismissed after filing a Motion to Suppress, but he also left a lasting impression on me for life. Watching Eric diss...cet the prosecution's claim(s) along with leaving their key witness speachless on the stand after questioning was priceless. It was the equivilant of watching Michelangleo paint the Sistine Chapel. We were up against one of the toughest judges in South Florida, and Eric was able to get it dissmissed all through his courtroom mastery. Eric is a diligent, hard working, professional, who is well known in the Broward and Miami Dade political arena. I would not hesitate in the slighest to use Eric's expert servies if I needed a lawyer again. In fact Eric is working on a personal injury case for a friend of mine. Whatever your legal needs may be please contact Eric as you will be in great hands! I'm even more impressed that Eric calls me to this day just to see how I am doing. Those client relations are hard to find in an attorney now a days. Do not hestitate to call Eric for all your legal matters. You will not be dissappointed. I speak from experience! Good Luck.

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.
