Felony Probation Violation

I ran into some trouble in Austin I was initially booked with 2 felony counts. I was freaking out and was searching for a good attorney that could help, I found Eric and never looked back. He went to bat for me and got one of the felonies dropped and the other reduced to a Class A Misdemeanor. I str...ongly believe had I hired another attorney I would have gotten a worse result. I was put on 2 years probation and ended up violating the terms of my probation. I rehired Eric and had come to terms that I was probably going to jail, not the case. Eric once again exceeded my expectations and I never spent a day behind bars. If I had a question, he had a personal line I could call and was very good about getting back to me, you don't get that from 99% of attorneys. Truly grateful for all his help. I would highly recommend him, he will exceed your expectations.

Great attorney, satisfactory result

Mr. Lim helped me with Class A Misdemeanor case, and I would say I'm very satisfied with his assistance and work. At first, I was hiring another attorney for my case, but I had a communication issue with that attorney. Then, I decided to switch attorney, started looking around, and found good reviews... about Mr. Lim. I contacted him, and I knew that he would be a good assistance for my case. His approach is very straightforward, fast, and helpful. He knew right from the beginning how he planned on solving my case, especially because this is my first case I ever had in my life. He also responded to my inquiries very instantly. I'd definitely recommend him if you have similar cases because he got my case dismissed!

Case dismissed

I wanted to take the time to write to let you know that I am very pleased with the performance, support, professionalism and determination of Mr. Lim. Throughout my case, he was always very quick to respond, made himself available during times that most would consider after hours and always patient i...n explaining the status and details/developments of my case. Mr Lim got my case dismissed even when I myself didn't think it was possible. I would definitely recommend Mr Lim to anyone who needs a really good attorney.

Class B Misdemeanor-Theft

This summer, I was cited and released by APD after attempting to shoplifting a fragrance and a face product from an Austin department store. The cost of the merchandise totaled over $50, so I was charged with a Class B Misdemeanor and was set to appear in court in late August. Around this time, I h...ired Eric Lim to represent me. During our consultation, he was clear and confident in his course of action: he'd have the case dismissed using the Pre-Trail Diversion program. Since I had no previous criminal record and had just graduated from college, the program was the best option for me, as admission and successful completion of the program guaranteed that the case would show as "dismissed" on potential employers' criminal background checks. Not only did some other lawyers suggest different, lengthier courses of action, they also quoted me fees upwards of $2,000. Eric's representation was much more effective and affordable. Today, my case was dismissed via the Pre-Trial Diversion program. The conditions of the program require I complete 24 hours of community service, attend an 8-hour theft course, and stay out of legal trouble for 6 months. During the pre-trial phase, Eric made the process quick and easy for me to understand. He was straight-forward and attentive to my case. The friend I got caught shoplifting with hired another more known and expensive lawyer and he hasn't even been as attentive as Eric. In fact, his case is still pending. This wasn't my experience with Eric. Any questions that I had were promptly answered with a text or a personal phone call. I would hands-down recommend Eric Lim for anyone looking for a good criminal defense attorney. He has almost a decade of experience, is very sharp, and (importantly) he is friendly and doesn't belittle you or make you feel bad for your mistakes (something that I experienced from a few of the older lawyers I consulted with). If you've recently found yourself into some legal trouble, go with Eric Lim. You won't regret it.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I endorse this lawyer. Eric substituted in as counsel on a former client of mine. The client was a very challenging person to represent. My relationship with this client had been strained and we reached a point where we both felt it was best he find another lawyer. Eric took over the case and was able to resolve it with a dismissal. I know from my own experience that the client was someone who was very difficult to satisfy and who made requests that were against his own interests. I can say from my own observations of Eric that he is bright, hard working and professional."
