Eron Law

The beginning process took a couple months as they made sure I provided the exact records they needed. Filing, like any court case, was not pleasant, but was relatively simple because David was right there to correct me when I didn't understand a question and answered incorrectly. Eron Law makes ...sure the entire process goes as smoothly as can happen. They understand and have tremendous compassion.

Excellent Firm

We used Eron law firm for a company chapter 13 bankruptcy and they did a wonderful job from beginning to end. They were always prompt with returning emails and phone calls. Dave Eron was flexible with payments and thats hard to find. We also used the firm for preparations of our corporate documents a...nd would continue to seek advice and council from Eron Law.

David Eron is a Man of Excellence

I was extremely hesitant about filing for bankruptcy. I had this feeling it was the end of everything I knew. When I first met with David he recognized after reviewing my records that this would be a complicated and difficult case. He spent about 4 hours with me that first day! Applying his awesome c...ombination of vast experience, expertise and thorough investigative research on certain issues, he devised an action plan that very day and clearly explained everything that was necessary for me to do in order to have a successful outcome. During this whole process he took the wheel and handled all the details, which eliminated most of the stress. I felt complete confidence in his ability. I could depend on him to handle every situation with my creditors. If I had a question he would reply within the hour, if not in minutes. He and his staff were always supportive and respectful. The result of my case had an exceptional outcome only because I did everything exactly the way David told me. He knows all the ins and outs to bankruptcy. You can be confident with David Eron handling your bankruptcy! Thank you for putting the pieces of my life back together.

THE EXTRA MILE......

I was in a bad situation and called 4 other lawyers with NONE of them wanting to tackle my situation then I called Mr Eron - Mr Eron and his staff was very curtious and professional as they explaned all my options, cost, and what would happen down the road if they reprosented me . They helped me thro...ugh some tuff times and always kept me up to date on everything that was going on and at one time Mr Eron was out of town on vacation and still kept in contact which is unheard of with most other attorneys now days.. I don't think you could ask for nicer people or a better Law firm to help you with your needs ! !

The Real Deal

I almost hate to give this guy the credit he genuinely deserves. I'd like to keep him a secret. We own and operate several family business and we've certainly had more than our share of legal problems. After spending a lot of time and a LOT of money over the past 25 years bouncing from one Attorn...ey to another, I've sure been frustrated to find that most of them only show any signs of energy and enthusiasm when it's billing time. It is easy to believe that this country is simply overrun with high-powered, aggressive and creative, fire-ball Attorneys - after watching television programs like "Boston Legal" and others - and many real-life Attorneys may very well appear that way during your initial meeting. Sadly, that's probably the only time you'll see it. How quickly they turn into the "Let's just throw in the towel" lazy bums. My experience has been that small Law Firms get small results. My regular Law Firm gets big results and is a serious force to be reckoned with. Not that every Attorney, at every big law Firm is a dynamo, but with enough Associates and enough money behind them, I can see why, in most disputes, the guy with the bigger Law Firm usually prevails. With that said; Dave is the only Attorney I've run across that seems to wield that same power and commands that level of respect - without having a million dollar a month overhead and an army of Associates behind him. I'm sure that in time he will have an army of his own and will become very successful. This is how big Law Firms start out, I imagine. Of course, now I have probably made it difficult to get Dave to do more of my work. Hopefully, no one reads these reviews. :) Sincerely, Dennis Wilkie

Relationship: Worked for lawyer

"I have worked for David for over a year, and during that time, I have had the opportunity to see David interact with many clients and other professionals in the area. As a supervising attorney and mentor, he is superb - he is a wonderful teacher and very approachable. For clients, his attitude is respect - his clients are not just a number or a case to push through, but people that he takes the time to get to know, using the opportunity to help with budgeting and/or reorganizing. My experience has been that David's colleagues respect him and his knowledge of bankruptcy and the law. He has presented at several continuing education classes, and is a dynamic and energetic speaker. Overall, I highly endorse this attorney!"
