Review Eric Engel

No Follow-Up or Returned Calls

Posted by BrittanyTue Jun 07 2016

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.
This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.
Consulted attorney
Eric Engel's response: 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 !!!

Posted by TJFri Apr 13 2012

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 highly 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!
