Terrible effort
Eric let this auto accident case drag out for a ridiculous four years and then completely quit on me. Zero fight and effort in my case, just wanted it to go away as he joined a new larger law firm. I would not recommend him based upon my experience.

Extremely satisfied
Eric will go above and beyond for you. I was in a propane explosion from my grill. I had no idea what to do, and he explained everything to me and was always in contact with me. He help me and my family threw a pretty hard time. I could not thank him enough.
