Fish out of water

Eric Lim is the real deal. Ive never had any criminal charges against me, and this one was a ludicrous charge. But the emotional stress was huge on me. Eric was reassuring, available, calming, honest, knowledgeable and highly professional. I hope to never need him again legally. Now I only refer to h...im as... Friend. Thanks Eric

Excellent Defense Lawyer

Eric is very responsive. He returned my calls or replied to my text message in a timely manner. He kept me informed about the progress of my case. He is very friendly and by the end of the case we kind of became friends. He took my case seriously and kept me in loop regarding the strategy he would u...se to fight my case. He even visited my house to get better understanding of the scene of incident. I am impressed by his knowledge of law. He is very thorough. I recommend him to anyone looking for a great lawyer that can do a great job on your case.

Travis County Pre Trial Diversion

Eric was a GREAT lawyer. My case took over a year to be resolved but Eric was there to help me all the way (it wasn't his fault it took that long). He was always there for me to ask questions and was very knowledgeable of the situation that was at hand. I would definitely recommend hiring Eric as you...r lawyer. He got me out of a bind that could have ruined the rest of my life and turned it into something that i won't have to deal with anymore. 5 out of 5 for this Lawyer

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!!!!

Great lawyer

I was arrested for shoplifting, and as this was my first criminal offense, I had no idea what to do or how to handle it. Eric kept me up to date and informed on everything I needed to know for my case. Whenever I had any questions all I had to do was send a text. Eric is extremely knowledgeable, trus...tworthy and, without a doubt, the best choice for those new to the legal system.

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."
