Eric Dirks

I have known Eric for over a decade. He is an excellent lawyer and and even better person, and his law firm is top notch. I recommend him to anyone.

Recommend!

Eric Dirks helped me secure a settlement in a personal injury case. He was prompt to get back to me, answered all of my questions and worked well with the other party. The result was a settlement significantly larger, and in less time, than I expected. I recommend Eric Dirks without exception!v

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.
