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!

Amazing!

Eric was very helpful! He walked through every step with me and helped me understand what exactly I needed to know. He was patient and understood where I was coming from and helped me best he could.

10/10 Highly Recommend

Before hiring Eric Lim, I consulted other lawyers, but Mr. Lim was the only one who confidently said he could assist with my case. He exceded my expectations. Not only was he professional, but he communicated thoroughly and always kept me informed about my case. I couldn’t have asked for a better law...yer. He fought for my case diligently and was able to get my case dismissed. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a lawyer who cares about their clients.

Better than I could have imagined

When I hire Eric. I was represented better than I could have ever imagined. My needs were put first and were treated as a friend. I was represented better than I could have ever imagined. I was not just a number. My opinions were valued, and my doubts were always reassured. My nerves were calmed and ...let me tell you I was really nerviest, and the process was always explained. Eric fought hard for me. He went above and beyond and did everything he could to ensure a great outcome. I couldn't have asked for a better law attorney.

Parent needing an attorney to represent college son or daughter - read this!

If you are a parent needing an attorney to represent your college student son or daughter -- Eric Lim is the attorney to hire. We began researching to find an attorney in Austin to represent our son. After interviewing five attorneys, we immediately knew we wanted to hire Eric. He is highly pro...fessional, responsive, and partner through the process. Our son was arrested for posession of Dabs [high potency THC] - a felony. Eric walked us through a few options and recommded that he work with our son to request to the judge to get our son into a Pre-Diversion program [he had never been in trouble with the law]. Happily he was accepted in the program where he had to complete 80 hours of community service, attend counseling sessions and be drug-free for the year-long program. Our son is now only a couple of weeks away from being dismssed from the program. Eric was great with our son -- he was kind but also stern about what he needed to accomplish. We have now hired him again to have the charges expunged from his record. We so appreciate his guidance -- for us as parents and our son. Look no further -- give Eric a call.

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."
