Best attorney I could have found

Eric was excellent and without him I would have been in big trouble. He understood the issues and was immediately available to form a defense plan and guided me through the meeting and my case was dismissed. Sometimes other people take full advantage of you and want to harm you. You need an attorney ...to protect you against all the false accusations.

Great experience

Although going through the processes is not something I’d like to do again, I do feel Erick was great and got the best outcome. I contacted several lawyers previously and felt he was much more knowledgeable.

Dedicated Professional Attorney

Eric has a very strong skill set in his practice of law, he was helpful, attentive and expertise during my case. His response to my calls and emails were in a quick manner. His fees are very reasonable. I would highly recommend him for representation as he showed me during his time of handling my cas...e that he cared by his attentiveness and guidance during the entire process. If I had any questions he was quick to answer them. Thank you for your professional leadership and caring attitude during this critical time.

childcare

We had the most serious incident that can happen in a childcare, a sids death. Eric was precise. He knew our case in and out and the represented us against the state professionally and with great knowledge of the systems inaccuracies. I recommend him to everyone having issues with licensing or the st...ate.
