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.

Eric Lim got me 80 hours community service when I thought it would be decades in jail

I was facing two felony charges of possession of a controlled substance and was expecting to be sentenced to years in jail. Mr. Lim made available to me the pretrial diversion program. I will now be completing 80 hours of community service in place of jail time or fines. This is exactly the person yo...u want representing you when you're facing tough charges.

Best Representation ever!

If you want a professional lawyer who knows how to look out for his clients best interest I sincerely recommend Eric Lim to represent you. He did an amazing job in not only following through with his promises to keep you out of trouble but took the extra mile to make sure that you were comfortable a...nd understand your rights to the law. I was extremely please with his service and definitely would have him represent me in the future. I can never thank him enough for releasing me from the stress that this whole situation has caused me personally.

Simply the best!

Eric Lim is an amazing lawyer. He is friendly, courteous, and gets the job done! He helped me with a payment plan, and also got my case dropped. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of such services. Don't hesitate to call him. I'm very glad to have him as my lawyer

Great lawyer

I was arrested for shoplifting, and as this was my first criminal offense, I had no idea what to do or how to handle it. Eric kept me up to date and informed on everything I needed to know for my case. Whenever I had any questions all I had to do was send a text. Eric is extremely knowledgeable, trus...tworthy and, without a doubt, the best choice for those new to the legal system.

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."
