Heaven sent Lawyer .

Mr Eric A Wootton is beyond the best lawyer I have seen in action. I was incarcerated on charges & he sat down with me & detailed EVERYTHING in front of me. I was looking at prison time & he went in the court room & got my case Dismissed , there isn’t enough stars to leave Mr Eric. He is truly heaven... sent .

Best service, charge - Super extreme DUI

Mr. Wootton was very professional and very thorough with every aspect of my case. Every time I tried to contact him, he always returned my call or email with great dispatch. I believe I received the best legal counsel that money could buy. I know if I did not employ Mr. Wootton I know that the result... of my case would not have been as successful as it was. Regardless of being encumbered by the Covid 19 virus, I was always updated immediately when there were any developments regarding my case and Mr. Wootton made sure to contact a third party with all and any information regarding my case just as requested. I was expecting professionalism, but I did not expect how thorough and dedicated he was towards all aspects of my case. He really made me feel like I was the only case he was handling, because of the immediate help and response to all of my questions and concerns. Since this was my first offense, I really did not know anything about the procedure or steps needed to complete this process and I was guided supremely well, that I did not have any stress or worries about the conclusion of this case. I was made to feel very comfortable about what needed to be done in order to get the smallest and best sentence that was possible despite the severity of the charges that I were given to me. I believe that, instead of 2 days in jail and 1 week of house arrest that I received as a result of my actions, I know I would had a much more severe verdict if I did not have the council I had received from Mr. Wootton. Although it took around 7 months for the conclusion of this case, I know that the outbreak and pandemic that ensued because of Covid 19 was the single cause of the delays of my court date and sentencing. If this pandemic was not ongoing throughout the duration of my case, I know this matter would have been resolved much quicker than it had unfolded. I would very much refer Mr. Wootton to everyone and anyone that finds themselves facing legal any legal matter. I highly recommend that you employ Mr. Wootton for any legal matter that you find yourself facing. You will receive the best and most professional help that is available for hire when you employ Mr. Wootton. I have never received better service or more professional interaction's than from D. M. Cantor.

Great Lawyer

Eric always made sure to keep in contact with me, even if it was just to see how things were going. Eventually getting the results and decision we'd hope for.

Complete Care

I was involved in a pretty air-tight DUI case. Eric was instrumental in getting my extreme DUI charge lowered to a standard DUI- with no jail time. Unheard of in a case like this. The firm also worked hard to keep my license valid throughout the process. I would highly recommend DM Cantor and Eric Wo...oton to anyone facing a DUI related charge.

I have had many discussions about the law with Eric and have relied on him in the past for brainstorming factual and legal issues. He is a strategic thinker, and his ability to identify defenses that are both creative and effective is second to none. Eric is definitely a one-of-a-kind lawyer and stands out in my mind as one of the best criminal defense lawyers I've had the pleasure to work with during my career. Would recommend."
