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...s or trial victories. Pray for him and the vulnerable people who were wronged. Remember to avoid hiring lawyers who would withdraw cases despite their promises that they would not dump their clients when stealing retainers. Going to a jury trial is still the best option, while a PCR is maybe the worst choice.

Ms Corby

Don't waste your money! Do not retain Him. He is only in the Law Business for the money and notoriety! Instead of representing his clients, after he has already been paid a LOT of money, he stands outside the Scott County Justice Center with an automatic weapon, bullet-proof vest, and mask protestin...g! Ask other attorneys in the area and they will tell you what a joke he is! He actually owes someone I know, money, a refund for lack of representation!

not trust worthy

eric took our money and then stated we owed him an extra 2000 dollars due to the fact that we were late on a payment of 700 plus dollars. he called my wife and said we had till noon to pay it. we had no idea that this money was owed. he never mailed us a bill and did not make us aware of the bill int...ill 1045 the day it was due. he did this in order to charge us more money. we have paid him all money that was due and he continued to make threats to my wife saying he will withdraw as her atty. he wrote her a mesg. at 1007 p.m. and told her this. he did not mail the invoice to us intill march 25th. the bill was due march 19th. we paid him 1000 dollars on the 22nd. then he said we violated the contract by not paying the 19th so we were required to pay 2000 dollars more. he held it back knowing this would happen. he will not stand beside you in your case and has no care as to the outcome..

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.
