Very pleased and my case is just starting!!!

I am very impressed by how quickly Eric and his team were able to review all of the documents and information regarding my situation (I must add that my situation is very complex and unique) and within days he was on the same page as I completely understood the issues. Within a week Eric took action ...in my case and has been fighting in my defense ever since. Eric is on top of things, responds in a timely manner, is always very professional, his staff is always friendly when interacting with me, and most importantly he has remained loyal to me. It is hard to find a lawyer that works for you and stays loyal to you. I have hired several different lawyers for my situation and either they want to take the easy way out by taking shortcuts, or they would to talk me into doing things I don't want to do, or doing things I didn't know about just to avoid the extra energy it took to satisfy my wishes during my case and Eric is the first attorney out of them all that I am completely satisfied with. So satisfied that I hired him for another case that I am currently dealing with, he is currently working on 3 cases of mine and I couldn't be more relieved. Eric is very intelligent, and firm when handling matters involving my cases. Eric respects my requests and is always honest and direct when providing me with answers or information regarding my case. Eric's services are not cheap, but it's money well spent and well deserved. Once hired, Eric completed more progress on my case in less than a week, than any other attorney has the entire time (almost a year).

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..

TERRIBLE LAWYER

I had this lawyer for a small claims case. He accepted payments from the man who owed me money buy credit card the whole time. Then at the very end when he Paid it all off and I was suppose to get my check he said he didn't accept credit cards so sent the guy a huge refund of my money and expected hi...m to pay a different way. That's all he had to say in the beginning was he didn't except credit cards. When I confronted him he dropped me and I never seen any money! He is the worse lawyer! DO NOT GO TO HIM

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.
