Best lawyer my husband had

Eric is awesome! He helped my husband with his case. My husband was looking at many many years ( double digits)and Eric helped him . I can honestly say I felt as if Eric was more than a lawyer he would call me to see how my husband was doing. Even after my hubby was sentenced he called to see how we ...were doing. Hopefully we never need a lawyer again, but if anyone ever does I would recommend Eric. Thank you Eric for everything!!!

Dont look any further.

Eric was advised to me through a best friend which i had high standards for. So upon meeting Eric, i immediately knew he was looking out for my best interest without trying to pressure me to hire him. Ive delt with many lawyers and Eric is by far the most energetic, authentic and flawless individual ...ive encountered. I originally had a public pretender but i knew he was just going to feed me to the wolves, so thats when i decided to hire Eric. When Eric represented me in court there was a presence that was felt and i knew i was in good hands. His tactics and knowledge lead me to get an Awesome deal. I dont wish anyone to ever be in a situation where you need a lawyer, but if you do, look no further.

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...le throughout the long and confusing process. He always kept in touch, giving thorough updates and explanations at each step of the way. When everything seemed as though it was going south, Eric worked his magic and was able to negotiate a deal that was better than I could've hoped for. If the case had gone to trial, I have no doubt he would have been able to win. On top of it all, the fees were extremely reasonable for the service provided. You'll want Eric to be defending you when your future is on the line.

Best Lawyer For Hire

I was facing serious felony embezzlement charges and as a result I lost my job. I was in a really low place in my life and I didn't know what to do or how to proceed. I preached my case to a lot of attorneys but they either refused to handle the case or would charge outrages retainers. I had given ...up hope and sought to seek the services of the public defender, a move that the majority of people in my same situation always regret. As a last chance of faith I decided to look one more time. In comes Eric Renslo. Of the bat I got a great vibe from Eric. When I first inquired about the case I spoke with Eric directly and not a paralegal. He was willing to meet me in person at a location most convenient to me. Having just lost my job I was cash strapped; Eric was able to offer me a lenient payment plan to acquire his services. Once he started working on my case he advised me not to worry about a thing. He encouraged me to work on myself first and that he'll take care of all legal matters. To make a long story short, he was able to convince the District Attorney to reject my case. I highly recommend Eric Renslo to anyone looking into a criminal defense lawyer. He will not stop fighting for you and he gets great results.

Criminal defense lawyer | Oct 30

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"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."

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"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!"
