Great experience

Eric Raskopf did a great job representing me. He was always available for questions and responsive when I needed him. He did a great job in explaining everything, as this was a new experience for me. I believe he achieved the best outcome for my case, and I really appreciate the work that was done.... Thanks Eric!

Traffic Ticket

It was a pleasure to work with Mr. Raskopf. I hired him to defend a traffic ticket that my 16 year old daughter received. She is a new driver and was traveling much too fast in a 25 mile speed zone. Eric was able to get the speeding violation reduced to a minimum so that my daughter could keep her li...cense. The thing that most impressed me about Eric was the fact that he answers his phone when you call him! Thanks for your great job Eric!

Excellent Results from Eric T. Raskopf

Our son came home from military service in Iraq with PTSD and a consequent drinking problem. He was arrested for DUI not once but three times over a period of 5 years. We hired Eric to handle all three cases. What was impressive was Eric was concerned for our son's well being as well as his legal ...outcome. When our son was arrested the third time, Eric was able to convince him to immediately go treatment which he has resisted prior. Eric even called while we were sitting there and talked the counselor into seeing him immediately. At that point forward our son was on the road to recovery. Eric always seemed to know when to go to court and when to delay and end result was our son underwent a few months of treatment before his case went for sentencing and he came out with a very good result under the circumstances. He is now finished with the legal system and has been sober for over a year. Eric really took the time to talk to him about possible outcomes and what he could do to improve his outcome and what he needed to do to not find himself in this situation again. Eric did not judge him but rather empathized and helped him. Our son was grateful for the outcome and we were pleased with Eric's guidance thru the process.

Best Decision I ever made

Hiring Eric Raskopf as my attorney was the best decision I ever made. Eric was professional, explained the process and made it easy for me to understand. He was available for my multiple questions and concerns either meeting me in person or talking on the phone. He is an accomplished and compassionat...e attorney who put forth every effort so that I received a positive outcome. I would recommend him to anyone who finds themselves in a similar situation. He was worth every penny.

Did nothing for my case

I hired Eric Raskopf for a case. He was hard to get in touch with, sometimes he would tell me that something fell through the cracks and did not discuss charges with the State. Would not hire him again.

I'm sorry you feel that you had a bad experience. I do pride myself on returning client calls and emails often taking calls after hours. My rapport with opposing counsel and attention to detail is the reason I have a history of proven results.
