Felony Charge

I was facing a felony charge, and this was my first time ever being in trouble with the law, so I was extremely nervous and unsure of what to expect. From the very beginning, my lawyer was highly knowledgeable, accurate, and confident, which immediately put me at ease. He took the time to explain eve...rything thoroughly and made sure I understood each step of the process. Because of his experience and dedication, he was able to get my charge reduced to a 12-month pre-trial diversion program. Once I complete all required assessments and classes, I will not be convicted, and the charge will fall off my record. This was truly a life-changing outcome for me. This was definitely a learning experience, and I’ve learned a lot from my mistakes. I’m extremely grateful for his guidance and professionalism. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs a skilled and trustworthy attorney.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Highly Knowledgeable, Effective, Honest, and Straight-Forward

I hired Eric a few months ago to provide legal services for expungement of an arrest record. Eric was very helpful in explaining the overall process, timing, and what I should expect. From the very beginning, it was obvious that Eric truly cares about his clients and is extremely knowledgeable. ... In my instance (which was probably a best-case scenario), within one week of hiring Eric he was able to meet with the DA and have them agree to the expungement. The final hearing and sign-off from the judge was ~1.5 months later. Eric literally could not have made the process any easier for me. From a cost perspective, in general I feel that the cost for legal representation is always quite expensive but with Eric I honestly felt that I received more value for the money compared to previous experiences where I felt a bit cheated. Without a doubt if I ever need legal assistance again in the future or asked for a recommendation he will definitely be my first call because I know I can trust him and that he will be able to deliver results.

The Attorney You Should Choose!

Mr. Lim helped take care of my case in such a smooth and quick manner. I got the best representation I could possibly receive. My case was deferred and will be soon to be completely expunged thanks to Mr. Lim's wonderful help. He is also a great individual in general. I appreciated how kind and under...standing. He knows that this can usually be a painful process and strives to make it as easy as possible for his clients. I highly recommend having Eric Lim represent you!

Great Lawyer

During the time Eric represented me, I felt he fulfilled everything I expected of him. He proved unbiased insight on how to move forward with my case and secured the best deal possible. I recommend hiring him if you come into trouble. I've seen other defendants get frustrated with their attorney ...leading them to a bad deal. Eric was able to get me a deal that expunged my record. Definitely worth the hire!

Former Felon

I can't say enough about Mr. Lim. Prior to retaining him as Counsel I had another Attorney that was truly leading me down a terrible path. With my prior Attorney, I took a bad deal, went on probation and was looking at serious time. Mr. Lim used his knowledge to get things straightened out and lat...er expunged. He always responded to my calls and emails very quickly. I can't say that about the other attorney. I owe my freedom and future to this extremely competent Attorney. He provided "Real World" expectations, options and made me very comfortable. I would hire him again but that isn't going to happen as I won't be in trouble. If you are searching for "The Best" he is your guy. I have had others and there is no comparison. Free Citizen and Happy Customer

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."
