Eric LaFleur exceeded my expectations in every way.

My name is Pamela, and I am a client of Mr. LaFleur's. When the time for picking a divorce attorney came two years ago, I was extremely nervous. I interviewed MANY qualified attorneys, but I knew that Mr. LaFleur would be the best person to handle my case from the day that I met him. My divorce and c...hild custody case had a lot of specifics to it, including immigration circumstances, paternal criminal records (that I didn't even know existed), and other out-of-the-ordinary legal scenarios that Eric brought to light and handled with professionalism, solid knowledge and great judgment. What I found most impressive about Eric was how he managed to always communicate legal matters to me in an assertive and reassuring way. Going through a divorce, especially one that involves child custody, can be very stressful. Eric always made sure to return my calls promptly and answer every one of my emails, providing answers and bringing peace of mind. Throughout the case development, I felt like he was truly involved with all of the things that were important to me as a parent - I never got the feeling that I have had with other attorneys (in other matters), where you feel that you are "just another case, just another client". On the contrary - Eric handled my case paying attention to the small details that really ended up having an impact on the final outcome, and resulted on my being able to get full conservatorship (child custody) in a state that favors joint conservatorship. I always saw Eric handle every aspect of my case with assertiveness, but also displaying a great amount of kindness and respect towards all the parties involved. The human quality that I have seen in him as an attorney has really made me re-confirm over and over again that he was the best possible choice to trust my case to --- at the end of the day, when you hire an attorney to help you legally solve the most vital relationships of your life, you are putting in his or her hands the utmost trust. Eric exceeded my expectations, and I feel very grateful and fortunate to still have him as my legal counsel. I would recommend Eric LaFleur as an attorney based on his knowledge, commitment and performance; and I would recommend him as a person to handle your case, based on the great human qualities he has displayed, and how much he exceeded my expectations on the personal trait he has had towards me as a client. I am very happy and grateful to have found Mr. LaFleur and his team of legal counsel. Respectfully yours, Pamela
