About Eric

I am a compassionate attorney who fights for your rights. I know what to do and I can help you!

I am a graduate of Appleton East High School, a local that has been around the Fox Valley area and Wisconsin his entire life. I have studied extensively, including over seas at Oxford University - Magdalen College and in Florence, Italy as well.

 

Beyond that, I am just the average guy who likes to hunt, fish and golf as much as possible. I enjoy traveling, reading, writing, watching the Packers and Brewers. I own a law firm in Appleton, Wisconsin and teach for Cardinal Stritch University on the side here at the local tech.

 

I'm an approachable guy who is relaxed and enjoys helping people. I volunteer my time and assist people in the local community on a regular basis. I make time for my clients at nights and on weekends because I know that times are tough in this economy and people are busy working during the days and have difficult time taking off to visit with their attorney.

 

Please feel free to contact me if you need assistance.

Review Eric Pitsch

DUI Attorney Who Gets Cases Dismissed!!!

Posted by

He is intelligent and very detail oriented. He gathers all the information and fights for your rights. He gets cases dismissed.

If you need legal help, this is the best guy to go to!

Posted by

I need help with a DUI and I went to Atty. Pitsch. He was friendly, helpful and explained things to me in a way so that I could understand him. I felt very comfortable with Atty. Pitsch and he did a great job. I highly recommend him!

Great Attorney

Eric Pitsch's response: Thank you. I work hard to help all of my clients get the best results possible.

Best DUI and Criminal Around!

Posted by

I hired attorney Pitsch. He wasn't cheap, but I wanted the best and that's exactly what I got. By far, he's better than any other attorney I talked to. He was up front, honest and told me what he would do...a process he developed that was very easy to follow and understand. He is very knowledgeable and empathetic and took extra time to talk with me, comfort me and help me through a very hard time. He really fought for me and did everything he said he'd do, and more. I trust him and if I ever need help, no question, I'd hire him again. He is very knowledgeable and very thorough and looks for every possible way to win! He's bar far the best!

Eric Pitsch was extremely helpful regarding a case of mine that I had several questions on. He gave very clear, easy to understand answers and made the whole process easier for me. I would recommend him for anyone's case in the future.

Consulted attorney
Eric Pitsch's response: I always try to make things as easy to understand as possible because I understand that it can be very stressful and overwhelming for clients being charged with something. I'm always willing to take the extra step and to also give each client as much time as they need so that they understand what's going on so they are in the best position to make the best decision for their case.

Highly recommended

I recommend Mr.Pitsch to anyone looking for a fair chance

Ive hired Mr.Pitsch on more than one occasion and hes been thorough and gave me the time and consideration i needed from an attorney i have had other attorneys that simply want to push threw your case and tell you to take the first deal they throw at you. Eric has the determination to see that we are protected by the law and has what most attorneys do not that is to protect our rights.i think if this world had more attorneys like him this world would be a better place.
