Difficult Situation Handled with Care

Eric guided and helped us through a very challenging and difficult family situation. It was comforting to have an expert on our side to not only represent us, but to talk to during the process of a private family matter. I will recommend him to friends and family if needed.

Great lawyer and a person we could count on when we needed results!

I can't speak highly enough for the excellent job Eric Anderson/ Anderson Defense did representing our family! Besides Eric's legal know how, he is smooth and unflappable when he gets in a court room. We know that Eric is a great attorney, because we went through a few before we found him! Eric ...cared about our family and frankly above that he came got results! Prior to working with Eric we hired "The Best" lawyer practicing family law in Minnesota! To our surprise the only thing our prior attorney was good at was ringing up a huge bill. With out hesitation I would recommend and use Eric in a heart beat!

Top shelf lawyer

Eric was extremely responsive and called and communicated when he said he would. Eric was extremely proactive and very easy to get a hold of! More importantly he took time and care in explaining the process to us. Eric went above and beyond providing legal counsel, he was a friend! We would strong...ly recommend Eric Anderson!

Would Recommend to Anyone!

Mr. Anderson did an excellent job in my case and I am very lucky to have found such a great and knowledgeable attorney. Eric was firm, direct, and honest about potential outcomes, and didn't create unrealistic expectations like other attorneys that I've had in the past. Eric was always available to a...nswer my questions about the court and legal process and never passed me off to an assistant. I would recommend him to anyone.

This guy is incredible!

Eric is an incredible attorney. We were lucky to find him. He listened to our concerns and always patiently answered our questions with respect, no matter how many times we asked the same ones. He is so smart, sharp and quick that he puts the more established attorneys to shame. He is also very fa...ir with his costs. He overall is just a darn nice guy, he truly cares about his clients . If we could have given him 10 stars we would have!
