Young, hungry lawyer, professional to the core

Eric took my case last year after another lawyer botched it. He is very knowledgeable on the tenants of the law and unlike a previous review has shown compassion. His staff has been very friendly and warm on my visits there. No regrets!

A fair priced flat fee rate for certain types of cases

Eric did a great job on my behalf. I pressed him for information during the free consultation, and that advice alone saved me a lot of anxiety and research time. I can say quite confidently that the results he achieved in my case were better than I would have gotten going in alone, because i'd alre...ady talked to much and made every common mistake possible during the initial arrest. So all in all, I definitely feel the price was fair for the services rendered.

Poor quality legal defense

Make sure to pay close attention to the negative reviews on this attorney -- they are extremely accurate and I wish I had seen them before contacting Eric Puryear. I hired Eric to defend my brother last year, who had been arrested on a few charges that should have never been made (he was in the wrong... place at the wrong time). As someone who once considered law school, it seemed like a relatively simple defense case -- and Eric was local to Davenport and sounded like he knew what he was talking about. That was my big mistake. After convincing me to hire him (and getting paid), Eric did little to no work on the case, and failed to even upload simple documents that would have assisted in the case. The hardest work he did on the case was convincing me to hire him, and then when my brother and I tried to follow up with him on the status of the case he seemed annoyed, abrasive, or at best, indifferent. If you'd like to hire a criminal defense attorney, I'd recommend doing your research before getting scammed by this guy. In all honesty, you would be better off going with a public defender than Eric Puryear. Once we hired a new lawyer, he worked diligently to drop almost all of my brother's charges, and reduce the last charge to a minor misdemeanor offense. Not only did he work much harder than Eric for our case, but also had a much better reputation with the judges and attorneys. The last thing I would ever do is recommend Eric Puryear. I'd give him 0 stars if I had the chance.

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.
