Case Dismissed

Look, I dont really write reviews. I feel that the review based culture in this world is manipulated and too much emphasis is placed on what other people experience. What I can tell you is that when I started seeking legal counsel, I spoke to probably 30-40 different attorneys. Some were helpful in t...he sense they provided information and after about 20 conversations, I could essentially predict what the next one was going to say.... "Best you are going to get is pre-trial intervention"... Eric presented a totally different narrative and totally different approach to my questions and concerns. Fast forward 6 months later and my charges have been dismissed. I dont want to say too much and give away the secret to the sauce but I will say, I know I made the right choice because I couldnt have asked for a better outcome.

Felony Charge

I was facing a felony charge, and this was my first time ever being in trouble with the law, so I was extremely nervous and unsure of what to expect. From the very beginning, my lawyer was highly knowledgeable, accurate, and confident, which immediately put me at ease. He took the time to explain eve...rything thoroughly and made sure I understood each step of the process. Because of his experience and dedication, he was able to get my charge reduced to a 12-month pre-trial diversion program. Once I complete all required assessments and classes, I will not be convicted, and the charge will fall off my record. This was truly a life-changing outcome for me. This was definitely a learning experience, and I’ve learned a lot from my mistakes. I’m extremely grateful for his guidance and professionalism. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs a skilled and trustworthy attorney.

If need a lawyer Eric is your guy!

Eric is truly one of a kind when it comes to representing his clients. He stood by me for over a year through my DWI case, always remaining honest, upfront, and even bringing humor when things felt overwhelming. He gets results, but more importantly, he genuinely cares — something that’s rare to find... these days. Eric not only fought for me, he built a relationship based on trust. I’m grateful for everything he did and highly recommend him to anyone who needs an attorney who will truly show up for them.

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."
