My goal as a lawyer is to provide the best possible representation to inviduals. I do not employ any single approach to accomplish this. Instead, I hope to use a creative approach unique to each case.

Highly recommended - knowledgeable, kind, and responsive
I am forever grateful to Eric for helping me with a time-sensitive and complicated eldercare situation regarding my aunt (for whom I am Power of Attorney) and a conflict with her assisted living facility. He listened to my concerns and was able to quickly assist with correspondence to the assisted li...

Highest Recommendation
My brother in Chicago passed away unexpectedly in November 2018 without a will. We currently reside in Washington state and had no local legal resources.

Excellent/Superb
My husband and I are from California. His father passed away in 2010 in Chicago and we thought that a family member had taken care of getting the house in their name. That didn't happen and some city violations have occurred so we reached out to Mr. Parker a few weeks ago for some help and so far ...

Wonderful attorney and staff
Eric represented me as the executor of a very complicated estate. He was able to refer me to other professionals, such as realtors, auto broker for a classic car collection, and accountants. There was always total communication as to what the office was doing so I was never left in the dark on any...

Nursing home abuse and neglect lawyer | Feb 04
Relationship: Worked together on matter
"Mr. Parker is one of the great attorneys in his field. His extensive knowledge of the law affords him with an advantage over many of his peers. I would not hesitate to send referrals his way."
"I endorse Eric Parker is all areas he practices in - elderlaw, nursing home issues and medical malpractice. He goes above and beyond for clients, is experienced and caring and a resource for other attorneys in his field. I would never hesitate to send a client to Eric for professional, first-rate service!"
"Eric has everything that someone should want in a lawyer. He is smart, strong and determined. But more importantly, Eric is one of the best persons I have ever met. Unfortunately "good person" and "good lawyer" are probably not often used in the same sentence. With Eric, those words belong together. If you choose Eric as your lawyer, you will not only have the best lawyer on your side, you will also have the best person."
"I endorse this lawyer. I worked with Eric on several matters and found that Eric was very attentive to details in every case that he handled. He showed incredible compassion for his clients and has achieved fantastic results. Without hesitation I would work with Eric again and recommend him to handle any personal injury case."
"Eric has a reputation for a sharp intellect, patient nature, and general trustworthiness that make for exemplary legal counsel. I would not hesitate to send him clients looking for top notch injury representation, his track record speaks for itself."
"Eric is an optimal attorney: he is organized, intelligent, and ethical. His focus is on the interests of his clients at all times, and he has achieved excellent results for them. I would feel comfortable referring anyone to Eric. He also is an excellent family man and father. He is a true credit to the profession."
"I endorse this lawyer. I had a case against Eric when he was a defense attorney and am certainly glad he made the transition to the plaintiffs' side. Eric is an excellent advocate. He has the ability to aggressively pursue points but come across as being very low-key. This presents problems for his opponents and work strongly in favor of any client who is lucky enough to have Eric as his/her lawyer."
"I worked with Eric while clerking at Stotis & Baird Chartered and Eric is knowledgeable, personable, and responsive. A few years ago Eric also handled a personal injury case for me and I was very impressed with Eric's diligence in handling my case and the overall outcome of the case."
"I worked for Eric for 5 years and had the chance to see him interact with clients and other attorneys on a daily basis. Eric is the consummate professional as he is always prepared, attentive to his clients' needs and extremely knowledgeable in the area of personal injury and litigation law. Most importantly, Eric is always willing to go the extra mile for his clients. I would not hesitate to refer a client to Eric as I know he will get the best result possible for them."
"I've worked with Eric for about two years now. He puts a lot of hard work into his cases and is great with his clients."
