Fantastic attorney
Eric worked with me with my retainer fees. He gave me a fair time frame to pay. I liked his confidence, and agressivness. I have spoken to a few other's who did not seem to have that fight. He told me step by step what to expect, and kept me updated throughout the entire process.

A LAWYER WHO CARES
I unfortunately have had a lot of experience with family court lawyers. Eric was by far the most passionate and devoted. He actually cared about the details. When it came to fight he was well prepared which produced successful results.
