Eric S. Lumberg

Eric reached out to me immedately after posting my inquiry here. I had interviewed other attorneys for my case; however he seemed a better fit for my situation. A previous lawyer I hired to assist me who would have been my court appointed attorney for a criminal case after being hired later resigne...d himself from my case while halfway through with no resolution. Eric invited me to his office to discuss my case further. He listened intently, asked questions, took note of what I was telling him, looked up my case docket while I was there and reviewed it with me before even being hired. My daughter’s father had taken my daughter and refused to return and while not having a custody order already established I was unable to get assistance from the police. I took matters into my own hands by threatening him with a weapon and was charged with a criminal charge along with being sued for custody. Although the criminal charge had been established by the time I got to Eric, the custody case was ongoing with my parental rights being suspended temporarily, including visitation with my 2 year old then 3 year old daughter. I had facetime communication with her only for minutes in a day. I had also at this point accepted the offer from the child support referree to a standard custody which was every other weekend with my ex being the custodial parent since he stated that was the best I could expect to be offered with no explaination as to why. I was a great mother to my childen and a good citizen up until this point. Eric, jumped on the case withdrawing my acceptance of that recommendation since it was not officially filed. He then began to work on getting me visitation with my daughter. Although I was offered supervised visitation at first for a month or so since our custody trial was scheduled, he did all the necessary work the other lawyer failed to do to get me closer to my daughter. Visits went great and because my ex had not evidence toward his claims, Eric facilitated settlement with my ex and his counsel superbly. Two days before the trial the matter was settled. Two months of Eric’s hard work, offset 8 months of hell with the other lawyer and court system. After settlement, Eric immediately filed all necessary paperwork and later sent final invoice. I am unable to pay all at once since I had to max out every option to pay him for his service, I reached out to him and asked him to allow me time to pay him if I made consistent payments monthly. He agreed; I have kept my word to pay my balance monthly and he has kept his word to abide by the agreement. Eric was fair, consistent, returned phone calls, communicated well with me even when I was distressed, diligently working to resolve the issues, and extremely professional. I would recommend him for family law matters/custody cases. Although offered a lot of information since the case had been ongoing, things such as transcripts of previous hearings, all court documents obtained during the case, custody proposal I had written, etc., Eric was very thorough in reviewing said documents; he diligently worked on my case for resolution, he saw errors in the procession of the hearing, the hearing, he even hired another attorney to assist him for review (which I was agreement with), by the time my case got to Eric it was at a point of necessary paperwork that needed to be issue and attending/appearing in court. He came in at the meat and potatoes and he did an excellent job. My case was resolved only a couple of days before trial on a Saturday. I now have 50/50 shared custody with my ex and I spend time with daughter regularly. Eric has followed up with even after the settlement to see how things are going and even offered other advice regarding the new order. If you want a lawyer that will not get angry when you asks questions or inquire, receives your assistance to assist him, returns phone calls and emails as promptly for most attorneys…He is the attorney you want.

Eric has shown professionalism throughout the whole length of my divorce. He is knowledgeable in all aspects and has been a valuable guide through this painful process. Even though my former husband and I started with a conflictual situation, by the end of the divorce we managed to establish a respec...tful relationship, which is the best outcome for our young child (who is doing much better than before separating). Thank you, Eric, for representing our best interests.

I was referred to Eric Lumberg by a close friend. I had hired Eric for a child support case. He provided constructive legal advice and worked on my behalf to secure a financial groundset for me to financially provide for my daughter through FOC. Eric is reliable, responsive, and holds a high reput...ation in the area of Family Law. I would highly recommend Eric Lumberg to litigate Family Law and Child Support cases.
