I was charged with a felony sex offense and Eric got me out of it.
I am so thankful that I found Eric Levy. The offense I was charged with could have ruined my life but thanks to Eric's hard work and efforts I have no felony conviction and am able to keep my job. I would not hesitate to hire this lawyer.
