I highly recommend Erik and his team.

Erik did a phenomenal job handling my case with great care and professionalism. He is, without question, the man for the job and the only person I would ever want in my corner. His entire staff was easy to communicate with and always on top of every detail. Thanks, Erik!

Sold Down The River

Hired Mr Fischer for a 1st time DUI case, It was very clear that the judge did not care for the Fischer Group, The Lawyer assigned to the case was a ex-prosecutor from Wyoming, said he could help, but did not, would of been better off if I hadn't hired the Fischer Group, SOLD DOWN THE RIVER ! ...Thanks for nothing, I will never use or mention this Law Firm again..

Hire this guy!

I was arrested on 3rd degree and domestic violence. This was a complete lie. I tried to take on the DA by myself which was a huge mistake. I was facing 20 days in jail and was going to lose my career. I hired Erik and he forced the DA to dismiss my case. He is by far the best in Larimer County l

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2010.

Suspension Stayed Placed on Probation issued in CO, 2010

updated on 03/28/2017

Suspension stayed means the attorney has been disciplined, but that the suspension is placed on hold (and ultimately removed) if the attorney complies with probation requirements.

Erik’s comment:

“I loaned a client money to save her home from foreclosure. She tried to discharge the loan in bankruptcy and when unsuccessful, I was discliplined for failing to have her execute more than one waiver of conflict when she received additional advances while we negotiated settlement of her case. This was a merely technical violation which is why I received a mere one year probation. I have no other discipline. Her personal injury case was ultimately settled for a substantial sum.”
