Does not care about you, only getting his check quickly

Eric Fine is a bottom feeding attorney, focused only on getting your case resolved quickly. He will never do anything more than he has to, and is quick to plea at the first hearing. DO NOT HIRE HIM if you want someone who actually cares about you and the best resolution for your case. He will do anyt...hing and everything to make sure the process is as simple for him as possible. Never going the extra mile for you as he knows it will take more time and effort from him. If you want someone who cares about you and your case look elsewhere!

Do not use him.

He is the biggest liar that we have ever dealt with. He said he would stand by my son and help him and he didn't do anything for him. He didn't advice him at all. He didn't fight for him. We wasted money for nothing

Consult

Mr. Fine was every responsive he answered every email I sent, he answered my phone call and was very patient with ever question I asked. If I didn't understand the answer he would break it down to a point I could understand. He is a very right down to the point lawyer and doesn't mind how ever long i...t takes to answer all of your questions and concerns he does. I would recommend him most definitely.

An attorney for the individual

We reached out to Erik mid court dates. He responded within hours of sending a request for contact and was able to immediately calm our nerves and discuss the case without using language unfamiliar to us. He made himself available outside of normal business hours and even met us outside of his offi...ce when more convenient for us. Erik was a listening ear, a mountain of reassurance and someone who eased our fears over our legal situation. He handled our case professionally and with a level of respect and humanity that is unheard of in the profession. Hats off to you Mr. Fine.

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.
