Posted by Ikedi Onyemaobim | September 18, 2017 | Lawsuits & Disputes

Mr. Kirkland is the obvious choice.

Eric has an exceptionally strong eye for detail that has proven to be beneficial to his clients on more than one occasion. He also has a very calm demeanor which is a blessing for clients in and out of the courtroom. Eric's strong sense of organization allows him to always gain the upper-hand in cour...t and win a large majority of his cases.

Highly Recommended

"Highly Recommended. The project itself was more of a process than both of us initially envisioned but I always felt like Eric was in control at all times via the updates he was sending me and also by being very responsive to any questions I had throughout - it is refreshing to work with a profession...al such as Eric. I would happily work with Eric again and would also refer friends, family, and colleagues to him. Thanks again, Michelle."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
