Posted by Collin | July 09, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Lawsuits & Disputes

Extremely Satisfied

I got in contact with Eric about 2 years after my case had first started. Long story short, what I would do to rewind time and get in touch with Mr. Jensen in the very beginning. The fact they jumped in and settled with-in 6 months is incredible (previous lawyer couldn't do it in 2 years). The entire... staff is helpful and very professional. They treat everything/everyone with urgency, care and just all around kindness. I can not thank them enough!

Eric did a great job for me on my injury case.

I hired Eric for my injury case. He did a nice job and got me a good result. He communicated with me and treated me with respect. I recommend him.

Posted by Ron | January 22, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Personal Injury

Eric did a good job on my back injury case.

When I was hurt, I went to Eric to see my options. After talking, we resolved the case in my favor without going to trial. I would recommend Eric to anyone hurt in an accident.

Very helpful!

Eric was very helpful in planning our wills. We were nervous about schedulng it because we had no idea what we were doing, but Eric eased our minds immediately. He is very knowledgeable and seemed to know what questions we had before we asked them. He made the entire process a piece of cake! I high...ly recommend him!

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.
