About Eric

I am a firm believer that my client's money and my time are best used when we focus on the issue(s) that could resolve the case as early and as cost-effectively as possible. I do not believe that the lawyer that yells the loudest or sets the most hearings is best for the client. It's about creating a strategy that's effective for each client.

Review Eric Gruetzner

Got me out of a bind!

Posted by

Eric settled a credit card debt for me, even though the credit card company had already filed suit. He looked at my specific situation and negotiated a very fair settlement for me and my family that kept us out of court. He worked on a very tight timeline and for a reasonable cost. I would highly recommend Eric and I will be using him again should the need arise.

Child Support Modification

Posted by

Eric made the process of modifying our child support agreement much easier than we thought possible. The outcome was far better than we could have hoped for and at a cost that was very affordable for us.

I always knew he had things under control!

A year and a half for a divorce can really be tough, but in the end Eric got all of my issues in my favor! Every time I thought we were stuck I was amazed at how he was able to figure out what my ex would do next! You are definitely getting a great lawyer when you hire Eric, trust me!

Good advice all the way!

Posted by

My divorce was extremely difficult, and yet he made me feel like it would all work out. In the end, he was right. All of the crazy stuff my ex was saying was just that, crazy, and Eric put an end to it!

Hard nosed trial lawyer!

Posted by

He may be busy, but boy was he good! I cannot tell you how much that NOT GUILTY is worth!!! My job, my family....WOW, thank you!

Helped make writing our will a painless process

Posted by

Writing a will is a scary thing to anticipate doing. Eric made it a painless process. The questionnaire we filled out ahead of time made it easy when we met. He was flexible in a meeting place as we were flying back to Dallas. Eric explained everything in each of the documents we were signing and made it very clear. I would recommend him.
