Exceptional Attorney and Advocate

Our case had been dragging through the court system for over 5 years. We started with an incompetent attorney, who caused us to lose custody. We then hired a disorganized attorney, who was ridiculously expensive and overcharged us, including charging us to remedy his mistakes and his firm's mistakes.... Despite his extremely high price tag, we still didn't get custody back. In fact, the case got thrown out. Fortunately, we found Eric LaFleur. He turned the whole case around for us, and we got virtually everything we asked for in the case. He is brilliant, experienced, and very reasonably priced, especially for someone who is board certified in family law and has his level of expertise. In court, he is cool headed and quick thinking. I rarely write reviews, but it would be a disservice to people like us, who were looking for one of the best family law attorneys, to not post a review about such an extraordinary attorney.

Father

Eric was amazing. He was thorough, honest, and the kind of attorney you’d want in a contentious custody battle. He never did anything that made me question hiring him. He is truly a Godsend

Best lawyer ever

Eric Lafleur is by FAR the best family lawyer I've ever had the good fortune to work with. I have also interacted with a lot of lawyers in a variety of practice areas throughout my career, and he's at the top of that list as well. He is brilliant, efficient, articulate, honest, effective -- the lis...t of positives goes on. We went through two other attorneys in the custody case for which we hired Eric, and both were disasters that cost years of precious time and well over a hundred thousand dollars. Eric came in and turned everything around. To say I that I would HIGHLY recommend him is an understatement.

Amazing results

Eric helped me gain custody of my daughter. He recommended a great strategy and answered all of my questions. Everything Eric did was well communicated and timely. He was a clam professional, during a crazy time for us. I’m convinced it was Eric’s reputation that allowed us to skip court, with her... mother signing the documents uncontested. Thank you Eric.

Knowledgeable & Dependable

I worked with Eric closely over a 2-year period for what ended being a extremely long divorce proceeding with a lot of twists and turns. Eric is the kind of lawyer you want on your team. I can say that comfortably having watched my significant other traverse through multiple legal teams that were m...ired in incompetence and came at great expense.
