I went to Eric for Estate Planning. I was fully impressed with Eric and everyone at his firm. The process was extremely quick and convenient. As someone that works, I value others that are willing to flex around my work schedule and Eric did just that! He was available outside of normal business hours and communicative over email and phone. Eric also did a great job of walking me through the process, explaining things and make sure that I was able to accomplish everything I wanted to. 10/10 would recommend him to a friend.
Eric is an experienced professional that made our state planning process beyond easy and with the utmost professionalism. He is pleasant and has the patience to walk you thru any scenario.

Trust/ Estate Planning Project
Eric and his team where amazing throughout my estate planning process. The communication throughout the process was top tier and the ease of use with the digital platform streamlined the whole process for me. The team is very knowledgeable and friendly! They worked with me diligently to ensure I understood each portion of the process.
My project was relatively time sensitive and they understood my execution plan and ensured my deadlines where kept! Eric went above and beyond for me! He even met me at the office while suffering a injury to ensure my project was completed promptly! I would highly recommend him and his team for future projects! I look forward to working with them again on future endeavors!

In my view, Eric has a pragmatic approach to things which is what we really want in a lawyer. He made recommendations that made sense; as a client, we do not want to complicate things. In fact, I have already recommended him to my relatives.

Professional, knowledgeable, down to earth and great process
Eric was an excellent attorney to work with for our estate planning, trust and will services. He is very personable yet knows his stuff inside and out and can explain complex matters in easy to understand ways. He was very timely and has a great process to follow and uses technology and automation to make it fast and easy. I couldn't recommend him more!

Trustworthy, reliable, and easy to work with
It has been a pleasure working with Eric and his staff.
Wendy was very proactive and reached out immediately after my inquiry providing needed details and documents ahead of my first appointment with Eric.
During my first conversation with Eric, he took time to understand my needs and addressed all my immediate questions brining very simple examples, which I really appreciated since I was not familiar with the subjects of Will and Trust.
Over 1.5-2 months of my work with Eric, he had always sent drafts by promised dates and patiently and diligently addressed all of my questions.
Eric showed his commitment and ensured I understood all the nuances and was comfortable with the language and edits.
I would certainly recommend Eric and will reach out to him in the future if the need arises.

My wife and I worked with Eric to set up a trust. From start to finish it was an easy straightforward experience. Eric was prompt in answering any questions we had as we gathered the necessary information. He was also extremely helpful explaining everything during the signing process when we finalized the trust. I would highly recommend him.
