    Review Eric Miskell

    Free Jimmy Project Worked!!

    Thanks Eric. I thought I was done after another local attorney told me that the 16 years the State was offering me was a "GIFT." But I was not guilty. YOU believed in me... YOU went to bat for me... YOU are the best jury trial lawyer I know. I was found not guilty on all counts. Thanks again!! Jimmy

    I needed help. Eric was there. There is no amount of words that can be expressed when you give the guy the keys to your life and he takes it and delivers. Best personal injury and worker's compensation attorney of have ever seen. I have seen a lot of them......

    Great lawyer.

    Has been more than helpful with all questions I have. He may be very busy but is well worth any wait. He is very personable and down to earth, understanding in every way, and not a judge of your situation. He knows people and what really happens in this world. I talked to many lawyers and when it comes down to it. With him I saw HIM! Not a paralegal or Secretary , I saw him. He not only listened to me but talked about him and his life. He's a good local family man and I would recommend him to my grandmother if needed believe me

    I loved the outcome of my case. They were kind, quick, responsive and knowledgeable about my woerk's compensation case. I received way more than expected. After that, I had them handle my personal injury matter. Again, they were right one. No one is better at injury law than the Miskell Law Center.
