Review

Highly Satisfied
This was the first time that I've ever had to hire an attorney and the process was very scary. After consulting with multiple attorneys, I decided to hire Eric because he had a youthful vibe to himself. He is very friendly and alive, whereas other attorneys I've met with had a mundane ora to themselv...

Incredibly savvy and tactful lawyer - would recommend to anyone
I cannot speak highly enough about Eric Renslo. If you need a criminal defense lawyer, this is your guy. After getting an unfair plea deal from the City Attorney, Eric was able to negotiate a deal to avoid having a conviction go on my record. His empathy, humor, and communication skills were invaluab...

Eric Mayeda Renslo's Lawyer Endorsements
"Mr. Renslo is very intelligent. I have personally seen him answer calls from clients at night just because he cares. He is a good communicator. He is highly ethical and abides by the rules of professional conduct. I recommend him for your criminal defense needs."
"I first met Mr. Renso back when I was a criminal prosecutor in Los Angeles. I always had a profound respect for him because he was one of the select few of my colleagues that were eager to do jury trials--many attorneys are actually hesitant to do jury trials because of how arduous and stressful they can be. I worked on several matters with Mr. Renslo as opposing counsel when I became a criminal defense attorney. He is a very smart and resourceful attorney and is very skillful in jury trials. I am happy he switched over to the defense bar, where a person of his skill and desire to help people truly belongs. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anybody who needs a great advocate on their side."
"I know Eric to be a sharp criminal defense attorney who really knows his way around the courtroom, which is particularly important for clients going to trial. I endorse this lawyer."
"I knew Eric Renslo during my time as a prosecutor, and he is absolutely one of the best trial lawyers. Even after I left the prosecutor's office, Eric was always very fair and very easy to work with. I have no doubt that Eric will be a fantastic edition to the Criminal Defense Bar, and valuable resource for anyone facing criminal allegations. Eric also went to one of the top law schools in the nation, and you can tell by the quality of his work. HIGHLY ENDORSE!"
