Eric Hagen is amazing!

Eric Hagen is an amazing attorney with an unrivaled attention to detail! He was able to help us with an overly complicated case from over 30 years ago which included an identity theft that spanned multiple jurisdictions. He was transparent about the cost, the process, and knew exactly what needed... to be done to get positive results. Although we lived in a different state, Eric was in regular contact, making sure the paperwork was perfect before it was filed. Whenever we e-mailed him with questions or requesting an update, he was always quick to respond. Once the hearing was scheduled, he called us multiple times to make sure we were able to travel, knew what to expect, and would come prepared. He checked that we arrived safely and was at our hotel first thing in the morning to discuss what was going to happen. He knew exactly what questions would be asked, what to focus our answers on, and was transparent about our chances of success. We could tell that we made an excellent choice once the hearing began. His opening statement was so perfect, it left very few questions to answer. What we feared would be a long and complicated process was done within 5 minutes. We were outside celebrating before we could even register our success! Looking back, we can’t imagine having to navigate this without Eric’s help. Thank you, Eric, and God bless you!

Highly recommended Lawyer for Criminal and Civil Law!!

Eric Hagen is an exceptional lawyer! He took on my civil case short notice yet the effort he put in the case reflected the positive results that came! He reviewed all documents, papers, and recordings of evidence with his expertise and found the critical details that I was surprised were there. His... efforts set the foundation for another case that I had and aided in the success of that case as well! He was professional, personable , resourceful, and knowledgeable. He is a lawyer I would recommend and go to again with any legal issue in the future! I am extremely grateful to him as he swiftly and efficiently resolved my case alleviating my discomfort and stress!

Great job

No other lawyer new of what I was asking for and Eric had it figured out in one day. Although our Justice system is slow he managed to get everything finalized in a timely manner.

TOP NOTCH/EXCELLENT ATTORNEY!

I hired an associate of Eric's to represent my case. However, when she's not available, Eric takes over her cases and represents us. Eric was very nice, really calm, and he explained things to me as needed, especially when I had questions pertaining to how the police could submit evidence to the cour...t without it being written as a part of discovery. Eric is very knowledgeable, thorough, hard working, fights for his clients and their rights. I was really fortunate that I got to work with him and have him help represent me and answer questions the day of my sentencing. Anyone who uses Eric would find him to be very competent, very smart and he is a straight shooter. He will tell you if something isn't in your best interest. Thank you again Eric for your representation and helping me get my life back too!
