Erik is amazing!

One of my friends recommended Erik to me after I got in a bad accident where I was hit from the side and hurt my neck. Erik was quick to respond and helped find and schedule doctors appointments. He handled everything and made everything very easy and kept me updated along the way. He's very easy ...to get ahold of and you can even text him with quick questions and concerns. I would use him again in a heart beat. Thank you Erik!

Posted by anonymous | October 26, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Landlord & Tenant

Experienced landlord tenant lawyer

My family had a drug-addicted lawyer tenant who refused to pay rent and refused to leave the premises. Scary! Erik acted swiftly and calmly to assess the tenants and reason with them to avoid further conflict. He knows how to deal with difficult tenants without causing further expense to the landlord.... Highly recommend!

Highly Recommend

Erik brings a wide array of both knowledge and contacts to ensure all angles are covered on behalf of his clients. I've retained his services on a number of occasions and will continue to whenever I need legal advice.

Professional and responsive attorney

Erik helped us handle the formation of our partnership agreement. He was affordable, knowledgeable, and always very prompt in his response time when we had a question. Highly recommend Erik, we plan on using his services in the future!

Posted by Joel | May 17, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Lawsuits & Disputes

Fantastic attorney, highly recommended!

Erik helped me through a particularly messing legal matter and did so with fantastic grace. Things were handled on time, communication was fantastic and there weren't any "gotchas" throughout the entire process. He did a fantastic job of setting our expectations, then exceeding them. Erik kept co...sts manageable and was completely transparent. He tactfully advised us of our options on all fronts, even when we wanted to proceed with our defense despite it not being the best business decision. If the need for legal representation arises again, Erik will be the first person I call!

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.
