About Eric
Biography
My name is Eric D. Puryear, and I am an Attorney at Law who is licensed in the states of Illinois and Iowa.
My philosophy
I founded Puryear Law. P.C. to provide clients with professional, prompt, and diligent legal services. I firmly believe that the role of an attorney is to help his clients with the many legal issues that each of us faces in the modern world, and to do so in a way that builds trust and confidence. Towards that end, I pride myself on taking as much time as is needed to meet with my clients – face to face. Along the sames lines, I ensure that phone calls and emails to my office are promptly returned, and that clients are not left waiting for the legal services that I know they need. In sum, I don’t consider my job done until my client’s needs have been fully met.
As a person with extensive computer and technology experience (including a degree in Computer Science), I know that using the right technology is essential in today’s world. That is why I make use of the latest technology in my law practice. I have found that making maximum use of secure, encrypted computer and communication technology has enabled me to reduce costs and improve the quality of my legal services. The net result is lower legal fees for my clients, better service for my clients, and fewer environmental resources consumed by needless printing/copying.
My practice areas include:
Criminal: All matters, ranging from murder to domestic violence, OWI/DUI and traffic violations in Illinois and Iowa (both state and Federal court).
Civil: General lawsuits, copyright, trademark, wills, personal injury, divorce, child support, juvenile, forfeiture, etc. in Illinois and Iowa (both state and Federal court).

The firm does minimal work at maximum costs.
I did most of the fact finding in the case. The attorney did not seem to be concerned for the outcome of the case. He was more concerned with being paid. Everything was last minute. Sadly, I could have represented myself with better results.

PCR is too difficult ; best is still gets jury trial then use appeal
Eric Puryear has a low rate because he takes PCR claims, which are hard to win since the opponents include the powerful State, prior greedy and sophistry defense lawyers, and the biased lower courts. Even if his clients are innocent, those politicians would not let them overturn the false guilty plea...

Like most of the reviews
I really wish I read the reviews before hiring him. The final straw was the way he talked to me. He is a very rude man. He blew through my retainer and started we weren't even close to being done. When I asked about it, he stated it will only cost more if I keep asking questions. I fired him and ...

DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY!
All he wanted was money, money, money... I was giving him my whole checks...I got behind one payment and he used it to drop my case, then had the nerve to try and suit me but it was thrown out. He will take your money!! And do nothing for you! I wish I would have read the reviews on him..
