OFP

On January 20, 2022, the mother of my child filed a petition for an order of protection against me, alleging domestic abuse—which was untrue. how I can fend off this.

Beyond Dependable Lawyer, Great Outcome

I didn't know a thing about the legal system and he answered all my questions with candor. He even dealt with my nutty family's insane rants and repeated pointless close-minded questions. He gave the best advice and didn't give up on me when I didn't keep to it and I gave myself more trouble. Stead...fast and caring. A practical man who was always in my corner. This is the sort you can bet on. He's excellent counsel. I had no idea the outcome of my case could turn out as well as it did and his attitude and support never wavered. I don't have a list of best decisions in my life but if I did, hiring him would be in the top ten. I am where I am today largely through his efforts. I'd be impressed if I found something he couldn't handle. He can't save you from yourself but you got a darn good shot at a much better outcome with him backing you. In my case I was a wreck and I felt alone for over a year but I could count on Eric. He was a mighty champion of my cause throughout all proceedings.

10 out of 10. Highly recommend.

Eric takes his job very serious and is very professional. He helped me with a 3rd felony probation vioulation. I was still charged with the violation but he was able to help keep me out of prison and going to jail which was more then I was expecting. He knows all the ins and outs of the legal syst...em. Would recomend and hire again if ever needed.

Expectations exceeded in every way

I called Eric (who was recommended to me by a family member) in a state of panic. I thought I was going to be in major trouble and there wasn't much even an attorney could do about it. He immediately came up with possible solutions that he believed could get me out of my jam. Eric was calming and ...put me at ease and immediately came up with a game plan. I was still doubtful an attorney could improve my situation. I was wrong. Eric was able to work with the state in such a way that they decided to drop the charges entirely. Before going to court, Eric recommended a couple of easy things I could do to improve my situation in preparation. After the state decided to drop my charges, they indicated that the few things I did in preparation for court, that Eric recommended I do, were the reason why they decided to drop my charges. He was able to keep my record completely clear and I honestly think if I had hired a different attorney that would not be the case.
