Best Lawyer Ever

I hired Eric Hagen for a protection order matter and he absolutely rocked it. It was very short notice and he was quick, friendly, personable, and compassionate. My order did get granted and I do owe that to him. Following the approval Eric sent me an email congratulating me yet also being kind and r...eminding me that I don’t have to deal with people who don’t want my help. It brought tears to my eyes in the best way. Thanks Eric!

Mr. Hagan's Ability to Handle Class 1-3 Misdemeanor Related Charges

I cannot recommend Mr. Hagan highly enough. I recently found myself in some legal trouble after a traffic incident, and I was facing both a moving violation and a misdemeanor charge. I was very anxious about the situation especially once the court/prosecutor raised my charges, but Mr. Hagan immediate...ly put me at ease. He took the time to carefully explain the law and possible penalties I was facing. He outlined several strategies for my defense, along with the pros and cons of each. Ultimately, we decided on an approach that focused on taking responsibility while also providing context for my actions. Mr. Hagan handled every aspect of my case with the utmost professionalism and expertise. He worked tirelessly reviewing evidence, preparing legal documents, and developing testimony. His deep knowledge of the law and attention to detail were invaluable.

Finally, an attorney who really cares!

Eric Hagen is an exceptional attorney. He takes the time to listen and understand your case. His passion for his work, care, concern, and compassion for his clients are evident immediately. He works hard to defend you and your best interests. I highly recommend Eric Hagen and would hire him again.

Highly recommend

I hired Eric and his team that included Mallory Hughes and Broderick. It was a difficult Federal case. Looking at 13-15 and got 8.5 which was a victory. BUT the key was the experience Eric provided. Emotional support/empathy is the #1 thing I hadn’t thought about before inquiring about lawyers. BUT I... learned how VITAL that was for my family and my mental well-being. Eric absolutely provided emotional support and extremely timely responses to phone and text questions. Not only recommend for results, but for the KEY emotional support they provide and the empathy for what myself and my entire family goes through in a criminal proceeding.

Case Dismissed

Mr. Hagen and his core team did a fantastic job of gathering information and detailed specifics to assist in the dismissal of my case! I will be forever grateful to him and the members of BERRY Law Firm. There were there with any of my questions, and were polite and kind. They also were able to pr...ovide me with a sense of well being, even with the anxiety I was facing due to the charges that were brought against me! Again, GREAT MAN to work with...Would recommend 10/10
