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.

If need a lawyer Eric is your guy!

Eric is truly one of a kind when it comes to representing his clients. He stood by me for over a year through my DWI case, always remaining honest, upfront, and even bringing humor when things felt overwhelming. He gets results, but more importantly, he genuinely cares — something that’s rare to find... these days. Eric not only fought for me, he built a relationship based on trust. I’m grateful for everything he did and highly recommend him to anyone who needs an attorney who will truly show up for them.

Great to work with!

Mr. Lim did a wonderful job handling my case! After speaking with him the first time, I knew I’d be in good hands. Mr. Lim’s communication was great throughout the entire process and he worked hard to get me a great deal. I’m happy with the results and would definitely recommend him!

Posted by anonymous | December 23, 2024 | Hired Attorney | Expungement

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.

Best DWI attorney

On January 14th 2023 I went for a drive early in the morning to clear my head when I noticed cop lights pulling me over. Long story short I didn’t blow I went to jail for a couple days and when I got out I searched for hours for the perfect attorney and I found Eric. He was professional and always pr...esent to answer any of my annoying questions. He got my case dismissed with a couple classes and 4 months breathalyzer and just like that it was over. He is very kind and attentive and probably the best dwi lawyer around in my opinion. So if you’re in trouble with a DWI call Eric Lim. He gets it done!

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."
