This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

He's The Man!

Mr.Engle took my case the night before my actual court hearing. Not only did he take my case with very little time of notice, he also fought and gave me what I asked for in my divorce and child custody case. He us such a wonderful person. Intelligent and professional. I'd definitely recommend him to ...anybody needing legal assistance. Thank you sir, for standing by me in my times of need. You're so awesome!

Posted by Brittany | June 7, 2016 | Consulted Attorney

This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

No Follow-Up or Returned Calls

I met with Mr. Engel during my free consult. I paid $100 to his firm and he informed me that he may be able to assist with getting my money returned from a debt resolution company. They kept all paperwork. I've called the office since then, on numerous occasions, and the receptionist takes a message ...and informs me Mr. Engel will contact me. I've still not received any type of communication from this law firm. I won't be hiring them.

Brittany paid for a consultation only. Debt consultations are not free. We did not agree to represent her as she did not pay a retainer. This person signed a receipt acknowledging the price of the consultation before the consultation. Other than our intake sheet, we do not retain any non client information.

LOOK NO FURTHER, THIS IS THE MAN FOR THE JOB !!!

Mr. Eric Engel is by far a cut above, to say the least. I was represented or should I say misrepresented by several others that worsened my case considerably and severely. . I had nothing but blatant rip offs and liars until I met Eric. Eric is in the know, straight up and gets on it. He is a high...ly intelligent Attorney who knows how to get the job done right! I am always treated with the utmost in respect and Eric takes the time to really understand your situation and most importantly, HE CARES and has HEART! If your looking for a razor sharp, competent and caring Attorney, look no further, THIS IS THE MAN FOR THE JOB ! ! ! (5) STARS ALL THE WAY ! Thank You for an ongoing job well done Eric!

Good job on relocation prevention

When I saw this man I was looking at my X taking my kids cross country. He got in there and did a good job of catching my X on her lies helping me keep my kids in Seattle. Owe much thanks.

Amazing Firm, Amazing Attorney

I absolutely LOVE this law firm and all the people associate with it. If it weren't for Eric and his associates, my family would have been completely destroyed. Through their skill, knowledge, and compassion my family once again became whole. I really don't know what any of us would have done without... them. I honestly can't put into words how thankful I am to have met them and been graced with their service

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
