Great lawyer priced failed cares for his clients

Eric responded to my inquiry for his services right away. He is priced fairly and you can really tell he cares about the future of his clients and he is very personable! I hired Eric the same day I reached out and the next day he started working on my case, had my warrants lifted and court date set.

Competent, professional, excellent and reasonable representation

I had the misfortune of dealing with the legal system late in life when I obtained a misdemeanor DWI charge. I contacted Eric Lim about representation and I am very glad that I did. Eric made the whole experience much more manageable and assuaged my anxiety with his confidence, knowledge and profess...ional demeanor. It was a lengthy process for me, due to aggravating circumstances, but Eric kept me informed at every step along the way. I really appreciate that Eric kept my best interests at the forefront in his counsel and advice at all times. In addition to his expert knowledge of the law and navigation of the court proceedings, Eric was also courteous, honest, patient, empathetic, and brought a keen sense of humor when appropriate. It was my distinct pleasure and great fortune to have hired Eric Lim as my attorney. I would certainly recommend Eric for criminal defense.

Case Dismissed

Look, I dont really write reviews. I feel that the review based culture in this world is manipulated and too much emphasis is placed on what other people experience. What I can tell you is that when I started seeking legal counsel, I spoke to probably 30-40 different attorneys. Some were helpful in t...he sense they provided information and after about 20 conversations, I could essentially predict what the next one was going to say.... "Best you are going to get is pre-trial intervention"... Eric presented a totally different narrative and totally different approach to my questions and concerns. Fast forward 6 months later and my charges have been dismissed. I dont want to say too much and give away the secret to the sauce but I will say, I know I made the right choice because I couldnt have asked for a better outcome.

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.

Professionalism & fair

My Ex was a client of Eric that needs interpreter. There’s been a few time that the Correction facility provided interpreter mistranslated for my Ex. Although my Ex doesn’t speak much of English Eric would still try to find a way to communicate with her at the facility. From time to time Eric has to ...find a interpreter for my Ex cause the facility couldn’t provide one. Eric keeps us updated every step of the way. He is communicative and responsive. He did go above and beyond for my Ex although there’s language barrier. Thanks to him my Ex got the lower charge. As a defense lawyer you can’t ask for more. He does charge fair rates for the case. Overall we are happy with the outcome.

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."
