I have been in business for 30+ years and this is the rudest person I've ever talked to. I was recommended by another lawyer to contact Syverson. Sent an online form and left 2 messages to request a consultation. Never heard back. Gave up but was recommended again so I kept calling. They do not care... about potential customers. Finally reached him on the phone. I suffer from migraines so it's hard for me to be fast on the fly to questions. He's said "what do you want?" as if I called the wrong number. I said isn't this the law firm? He said rudely, don't know you who you call? So I got past that and asked for a defamation lawyer and a consultation. He said we could do it in 30 seconds which is impossible based on the complexity of my situation. He asked me what was said which I had to quickly pull up a spreadsheet of slander. I went through the list and he said OPINION OPINION UNACTIONABLE. He was so rude that I was just STUNNED and was struggling to give him more things that would explain my case. He then said hurry up I have to go. I mean does this guy want business or what? I ended up just saying thanks for nothing and hanging up. I was really excited about this lawyer and he was my #1 choice based on his great website, but this is the last person you should ever give your business. He's worse than the problem I'm trying to solve.

Contacted Erik re: defamatory content online about me. Informed me quickly I had a valid legal claim, but was curt and unprofessional, and humble bragged at every opportunity ("my usual clients are high value people who don't mind dropping $10.000..."). I'm inexperienced with the law and had some bas...ic questions, but he was really clear he found that fastidious (statements like: "I don't know why you're calling me if..."). His emails were also very curt, included consistently bad grammar, etc.--generally an "I don't care" attitude. Not sure why he is still in practice if he hates his job. I'm a software engineer and there's a high standard of behavior expected in my industry. He didn't make the cut.

I use Erik for all my contract and legal document work. He has set up a couple of corporate entities for me as well as written Terms of Service for an application my company wrote. In all cases he provided very prompt, personal, and expert service at a price that my start-ups could afford. I highl...y recommend Erik’s services to anyone in a similar situation to my own.
