Mr. Lim is a life-saver. He got my PCS Dismissed!

Mr. Lim is absolutely amazing. I was charged in Nov of last year with a State Felony and I had no idea where to begin with trying to clear my name. I have no record, so my head was swimming and I was in a pretty dark place mentally. I did research, and after a few phone calls with Eric (and other a...ttorneys) I was still trying to make a final decision. Eric continued to keep in touch, and even started working for me even while I was still on the fence between him and another attorney, which sealed the deal. I decided he was the man for the job. He was extremely professional, and made sure to always keep me up to date. I was hoping for acceptance into pretrial diversion, and didn't even consider an outright dismissal as a possibility. After my initial hearing was pushed back multiple times, Eric gave me news that I never though was possible - he was able to get my case dismissed completely! I will never be able to fully convey how happy I am with Mr Lim's work. I was looking at a potentially life altering situation, and Eric did everything he could to make sure that wasn't the case. If you're even considering hiring Mr. Lim, do it. You will not regret it.

He's BALL AND CHAIN Breaker!!!

April 30, 2016 Had to be the worst day for my husband and myself. When we were wrongfully charged with 2 crimes. My husband a Felony Assault and my self a misdemeanor interfere with a emergency call. "Family" case. If you have never experienced this type of case of false accusation. We hope you neve...r will. Your good name, your working life style your lively good is All at Risk! You feel as if you are in bondage with a BALL and CHAIN attach to your ankle. It is scary and depressing feeling. You will need a SuperMan of a attorney to recuse you and restore your good name. Eric will fight for u! Pray with U! He will help you to feel safe again. He truly is a Angel! Thank you Eric for getting mines and my husband's Cases DISMISSED. We truly feel Free Again and we are at Peace. It's a amazing feeling. God Bless you!!!

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.

Representation of my assault bodily injury case

I looked long a hard for a good lawyer to represent a very difficult case for me. I was charged with assault bodily injury which was one of 4 cases involving assault. If you are familiar with the three strikes your out then you should know that I was well out of strikes and possibly facing an enhance...ment on my fourth charge. I do have to say that I was very nervous not knowing what was going to happen with this in the courts. I hired Eric Lim to represent me. He was very knowledgeable towards the case and handled it very strategically, there was times of doubt in my mind towards the Case in which he informed me to be patient and not to worry. I really didn't know what I to do. Eric always had the answers, and handled the case very well. I was offered a sentence that he didnt agree with and counter offered with the D.A. And the end result was more then wonderful. I was given the opportunity to do 12 hours community service and 8 hours anger management then the case was dismissed. I have to say if your browsing for a lawyer and pass him up, you have made a mistake. Hire him without a doubt and you'll be a pleased individual in the end. Thanks to Eric Lim I'm a free man and happy. Thank you Eric!!!!

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."
