Personal injury lawyer | Aug 01

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."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
