This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Can't call back

Very unprofessional would not return calls after saying for me to send retainer

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Do NOT hire!

He’s a clown, wet his pants in front of the judge, which after consultation I figured he would. Certainly better and way more qualified lawyers anywhere! I still kick myself for hiring this clown!

Excellent attorney and counselor at law.

Erik was extremely knowledgeable and got what I needed done in my custody case. Well worth the money for his advice. Would use him again.

Good value for your money with hardworking attorney

I used Mr Christensen's services recently for assistance in requesting a reconsideration of denial of unemployment insurance benefits after former employer unfairly appealed (and won) my award following termination for pretty shakey reasons. Erik bent over backwards to provide service, was very help...ful. While he was unfamiliar with the statute applicable in the matter, he reviewed it in my presence, then gave me great advice about how to proceed. I found his rate extremely reasonable.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
