      Review Eric Bonholtzer

      Hardest working law group in the town.

      Posted by

      Eric asks many inquiries to make certain that he's able to advise for his clients and works diligently to get terrific settlements. I have been referred via a family buddy and will keep to refer him. His compassion, kindness and cautious listening facilitates clients like myself be heard.

      I highly recommend Eric Bonholtzer.

      Posted by

      I had a car accident two years ago and were suggested to handle the case on my own. After seventeen month of exhausting document submissions and endless requests from car insurance company I have received an extremely unfair offer, that wouldn't even cover my doctors bills. Fortunately, when I almost lost the hope to resolve an accident issue, I was introduced to Eric Bonholtzer, since than I were able to get my sleep back. From the first minute we meet he demonstrate an extreme professionalism, Eric took control over the situation since the day one and in a very short period of time (I only had few month left to close the deal) he resolved all problems related to my case. Car insurance company not only payed all the bills related to the accident but also wrote me a check to compensate for pain and suffering. I highly recommend Eric Bonholtzer as an accidental attorney, give him a call even if you think your case worth nothing or you already have lost your time. You could be very pleasantly surprise from the outcome Eric can get for you. Thank you very much Eric for helping me to get such an amazing result with my case. Sincerely NP.

      Only good thing that happen in 2020

      Posted by

      A coworker referred us to Eric Bonholtzer & couldn’t have asked for a better lawyer. My mother was in an accident early this year and as soon as I contacted Eric he was quick to respond and had all the answers to my questions. It being it was my first experience having to deal with a lawyer of any sort Eric and his team has really set the bar high for any future experiences. Eric and his team made this experience very stress free and easy with quick responses, knowledge, and friendliness. Even with COVID happening during the time everything was taken care without skipping a beat. Thank you Eric once again for making this an easy process.

      Eric was the best lawyer I could have ever had. He was always easy to get ahold of and answered all my questions and concerns. If a situation like this ever arose again I would call him again.

      Hardworking Attentive Attorney

      Posted by

      Eric Bonholtzer is a wonderful attorney. He is attentive, professional, and quick to call you back. I called him on a Sunday and he called me back within a few hours. I knew right then I wanted him on my case. We won and I received my settlement. I am very happy with how everything turned out and I feel lucky to have had Mr. Bonholtzer’s help, I would have been lost without him!

      Aroutun Safarian, Personal injury Attorney on Aug 1, 2014
      Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

      Eric is a class act. Eric and I were opposing lawyers on a case. Eric proved capable in identifying the relevant issues, advocating effectively for his client, and moving his client's interests ahead in a professional and capable manner. He is an excellent communicator, and very personable. Because of these qualities, we were able to speak candidly and civilly about the relevant issues and reach an early resolution of an otherwise tough litigation matter. He achieved a positive outcome for his clients without the client having to endure the pains of trial and deposition. In doing so, he increased his client's net recovery, keeping costs to a minimum. Few lawyers could have accomplished what Eric managed to do in such a brief period of time. I recommend him without reservation.

      Levon Kevorkian, General practice Attorney on Aug 1, 2014
      Relationship: Worked together on matter
