Great to work with - would work with again if needed

I was in a bind when I got my DUI. I had just got out of jail and had never been arrested, I had no clue where to go and just needed some guidance and help. A buddy of mine recommended Mr Lim and I gave him a call. Not only was Mr Lim my attorney he also felt more like my pschologist. He helped me th...rough the process and did a ton of stuff to get my charged dropped down to the lowest punashment (there was absolutely no way it was getting dropped completely so he did next best). He was in constant communication with me - he said from the beginning that it was going to take awhile and everytime there was an update he let me know. He answered all my questions about what ifs and possibilities and he kept it real the entire whole time. The first plea bargain was not in my favor but within a couple weeks we where able to get it down to something we both agreed on. All the positive reviews about Mr Lim are accurate and I would hire him again!

Best decision I made!

I got pulled over for a dui on Christmas Day. I expected the worst. I got tons of emails and mail from lawyers around town. After inquiring with several I felt Eric was the most upfront and honest. He was also very reasonably priced with no hidden fees. Everyone else I talked to had high prices and j...ust told me they would get it dismissed not even knowing all the facts. Eric told me my worst case scenario but ended up getting me the best possible verdict! Dui was dismissed. I thought I would have probation and lots of additional cost added. That wasn’t the case. It’s hard to believe he was able to do this but he did. He did it quickly and I never stepped foot in a courtroom. Hire him!

Fast, friendly, efficient

Helped me resolve a DWI case in a direct, easy way with a result I was happy with. Also had the best price for service. Simple to communicate with.

The Attorney You Need

In November of 2020, the unthinkable happened. I was arrested for a DWI. Never in my life had I had any issues with the law. I was always a straight-laced, straight-A student. I spent the weekend in jail and was terrified. When I was finally released in the early hours of a Sunday morning, I was scar...ed, disoriented, tired, and beaten down. The first thing I knew to do was secure an attorney, but how was I to afford one? I never needed an attorney before, and I had barely just started a new job that allowed me any extra income. I searched for “affordable attorney” on Google, and Thumbtack came back with Mr. Lim. I immediately sent a request to connect with him. I remember feeling so hungry and cold and just wanting a meal and a shower. That same day, after a long nap, I received a phone call. Mr. Lim was so kind, warm, and funny. I was immediately put at ease with my situation. I explained what happened and he seemed confident and sure that he could get me taken care of. I remember being so distraught and disoriented, but still laughing at a story he told me. But the most important part for me was that he allowed me to enter into a payment plan with him. It really pained me to have an extra monthly expense, but the fact he was flexible and understanding made me realize I had made a good choice. My case dragged on for almost two years due to the pandemic. It was a painful, excruciating, and scary time for me. Mr. Lim was communicative and patient with my questions and concerns. We went months without contact, simply because there was nothing to report. It was unnerving, but I knew I was in good hands. We periodically communicated with instructions for actions for me to take. I dropped everything when I heard from Mr. Lim, so I recommend that you work as hard as he does in your case! When things started accelerating forward, Mr. Lim was professional, direct and knowledgeable. I definitely felt silly with some of my questions and concerns, but he always responded promptly and thoroughly. While my case is not indicative of what may happen with you, I do want to share that my DWI charge was dropped down to speeding. Mr. Lim works hard and gets the job done. He will advocate for and support you as long as you are doing what he asks and also taking your case personally, honestly, and seriously. You will need to do work on your end if you expect him to work hard for you. It is definitely a two-way road. I cannot express enough my appreciation and gratitude for Mr. Lim. I understand he’s not part of one of the big organizations and you might have to search a bit to find him but trust me; he’s your guy. Affordable, understanding, kind, and experienced. Thank you Mr. Lim!

Case Dismissed

I was charged with a DUI and Eric had my case completely dismissed. Very satisfied with his expertise and relationship with the D.A.

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."
