Excellent lawyer!

I contacted Erin around mid-morning to help review some contract language which had to be completed that very day and notarized and submitted before the evening. Despite her busy schedule, she understood the urgency and agreed to help. Erin was thorough, yet quick with the asked tasks. She reviewed... the documents again after the other party’s lawyers made some changes and added language to protect her client. Thanks to her timely help, the contracts were able to be signed on time. Even though her work was complete, she took the time and followed up later in the afternoon to inquire if everything went well, and if I needed anything else. Erin is a wonderful lawyer who truly cares about her clients. Will definitely be using her services again!!

Erin Eckert Knows the Law

I hired Erin Eckert, a construction contracts attorney, to help me with a company that would not acknowledge I had canceled my bath remodeling contract via email and continued to send me invoices from their third-party financing company. Erin has deep knowledge of the law and right away could specify... all the areas in which both this fraudster vendor and finance company were violating, charging me a 33 percent cancellation fee. She knew precisely what my rights were and what would stand up in court. She wrote an effective demand letter which resulted in my account being closed immediately with no charges. Not only is Erin extremely well-versed in construction contracts, she communicates well with her clients and calls to update them. She doesn't leave you wondering what's next and handles things in a timely manner. She is also fair and kind, sensitive to my tight budget and offering several things as a courtesy (no charge) to give me a break. I'd hire her again if I ever need a construction contracts lawyer. She's awesome!

Professionally Awesome

I was initially referred to Ms. Eckert by another Attorney. Ms. Eckert answered my first phone call (rare from my experiences) and she provided invaluable information, assistance and advice. After spending more time evaluating the information I sent her, and discussing my case, she told me exactly ...when she would get back to me and she did exactly that. I could tell by her recommendations to me that she had spent a lot of time researching my case and evaluating the issues. Her consultation and recommendations to me were invaluable. Also noteworthy was that prior to calling her, I reviewed her information and standing with the Texas Bar Association and all was good. I also saw she had posted that she doesn’t work weekends, yet despite this, she called me and we discussed my case at great length over the weekend. I absolutely recommend Ms. Eckert and would not hesitate to hire or consult with her in the future if need be.

Client

Erin knows her craft and is skillful at what she does. When you add in a fierce nature and high level of integrity, I can say that I was immediately confident she would “handle” the contractor attempting to exploit us for money. I would utilize her again in a heartbeat.

2 Wins in a Row!

I'm a seasoned 13 yr Career Contractor and had my first disagreement with a Client 8 months ago. It looked like it was headed down the litigious path so I hired Erin who came from a personal referral. First it was to deal with this one issue that seemed impossible for me to win because my Client wa...s an Attorney. Well, she got me out of that mess I don't know how but she has a way to leverage her knowledge, skill set, and construction experience toe to toe intelligently with any other Attorney any day of the week. Unexpectedly, I ended up having another disagreement with a client 3 months after that, what a predicament, after having a 13 yr track record with ZERO complaints! Ha! ...And come to find out this Client was also an attorney and I didn't even know this at the time. So I felt intimidated by that and I immediately retained Erin again. She completely took over and took my Fears away. I learned that just because someone is an Attorney it doesn't mean they're a good one. Fortunately for me, Erin knows her subject matter really well regarding Construction, and this other Client didn't know as much. She worked her magic and got me paid on this one, which to my surprise I thought would be impossible. I was happy with just walking away without any big lawsuits. So my ROI with Erin thus far has been amazing, and she is worth every penny and more. When we first met her strong assertive attitude struck me and made me question if we would really be a good fit. So I took a chance, and now knowing her passion and Heart for her Clients, I am glad I took that chance on Her. She really cares about her Clients and will Fight vigorously and will Win that's the bottom line for her, she doesn't take prisoners! And that's exactly who you want on your side representing you when you're in trouble. Oh, and she's real smart and creative too! So I hope I don't have to use her services again but in this World it may be necessary, especially when dealing with larger contract as I was dealing with in these 2 issues. Therefore, if it were to happen again you bet your tail I'll be retaining Erin in a heartbeat without doubt, and will be feeling pity for the opposing side! When Erin steps in the picture I just immediately feel calm, let go of all anxiety and fears, and just know I'm safe and in the right hands. Thank you Erin, you really are the best! Your #1 Fan! Anyone would be lucky to have you represent them, I mean that 100%. God bless you and your Practice 10 Fold for all of the good work you do!
