Hardworking & knowledgeable

Great communication, very good listener, and gets the job done. Helped with multiple different cases and tells you how it is and what’s going to happen. Very patient and will go to the extra mile for his client. You can count on Eric I wouldn’t look anywhere else. He’s the real deal.

Fantastic

Mr Lim is fantastic to deal with - from start to finish. He's brutally honest (whether or not you want to hear it), prepares you for the worst while giving you an idea of the best outcome, and tells you what his prior clients with similar situations have experienced (but not making promises - don't h...ire anyone that makes promises!). He sets expectations for you right out of the gate - on every side. He's extremely approachable and very knowledgeable. I'm sure I was one of the more needy clients he's dealt with, yet he was always great. Not a good liar when he said I was great to work with though ;) (I know I was.. needy) My outcome wasn't the Disney ending that everyone wants, but it was far better than I expected, given how bad I screwed everything up (and I'm not a Disney character anyway). I feel as if Mr. Lim went well above and beyond. It also helps that he seemed to have a very good rapport with the judge and prosecutor in my case. Part of what you're paying for is an attorney's experience with the specific people trying to put you in jail; a skilled attorney will know what they're willing to do. Mr. Lim is obviously very experienced navigating the court system.

Excellent Representation

Eric Lim, recently represented me as my defense lawyer. Professional, knowledgeable, and kept me well informed of any and all changes and updates throughout my hearings. Will Gladly recommend him to others in search of a criminal defense attorney.

Nobody Better

Eric represented me in a number of cases but mainly on a felony evasion charge. I also had multiple possession charges. He is an amazing lawyer and every time I thought the worst case scenario was the most plausible outcome Eric found a way to get the best outcome. I’m over joyed with the outcome of ...my case. He did everything he could to keep me out of prison and in a comfortable situation. He is respected by judges in multiple counties and obviously works really hard. Couldn’t ask for a better lawyer and I’m being serious. He made a very stressful situation a little more bearable knowing I had him on my team. I wouldn’t look any further if you are seeking council. Eric is the best you’ll find.

Wrongfully accused

We found Eric after researching attorneys in the area that were successful in having charges dropped for people who were wrongfully accused and arrested for domestic abuse. Eric was very easy to keep in contact with. When I called him, I spoke to him. Not a messaging service that never really ge...ts anything done. He was knowledgeable and attentive. After hearing my case, he was able to explain the process and was up front with all his costs. His retainer was very reasonable, and worth every cent. He was able to do exactly what he said he could do, and quickly as possible. I highly recommend Eric for anyone who is in danger of being prosecuted for something that they are innocent of.

Criminal defense lawyer | Aug 11

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."
