Fabulous, Professional Lawyer.

I hired Eric over a year ago, and to this day I am VERY grateful. Not only was he very professional, he was very consistent. He never left me in the dark, and always kept me up to date on everything going on with my case. Eric was a pleasure to work with, and i HIGHLY recommend him to anybody that i...s seeking results, professionalism, and a hard working lawyer.

CPS Nightmare Resoved Rapidly

We hired Eric when there were false accusations made against our child. He worked rapidly to resolve this matter even across state lines. Our childs innocence in this matter was of up most importance to us. Eric listened carefully to the facts and wasted no time in resolving this case for us. He ...was quite reasonable with his retainer fees as well and was very honest and upfront about everything. He kept us informed of every step he intended to take. Kept this out of court and off our child's record. We certainly would not hesitate to refer his services to anyone with legal issues regarding CPS.

Licensure litigation

First and foremost I would like to commend Lawyer Eric Hendsen Anderson for his phenomenal work. He was the most helpful, honest and patient litigator I have ever had the pleasure of working with. His attention to the details of my case allowed me to focus on what's important to me. My license was in... jeopardy due to a complaint. He used his expertise to deal with the board, wrote letters and assured me the outcome ahead of time. I strongly recommend any individual whom is working in a field, that requires a license and has any legal issues to pursue working with Eric Hendsen Anderson.

First class in every way.

Eric is a passionate, caring, and brilliant young attorney with an extremely bright future ahead of him. He kept me fully informed about the status of my case from start to finish and always took the time to both explain the process and legalese to me as well as to answer my questions so that I was a...t ease, informed and never felt in the dark. I would and will recommend him without hesitation to anyone having legal issues.
