What a knowledgable, kind, dedicated lawyer.

I was involved (starting in 2004) in a probate case with another lawyer. I spent the next 5 years trying to get him to be a lawyer. He was very incompetent and the experience was horrible. I needed someone to help me out of the mess the other lawyer created. And it was a mess and complicated by th...is time. I found Eric Gordon by a referral, and from that day my entire case began to look like something that We could resolve. Eric shared with me all the unethical actions of the other lawyer. Once he took on my case it all came together in MY favor. Eric walked with me through the legal system steps and all that he needed to do so that I always knew what was going on. Huge for me since the other lawyer was impossible to get return calls and emails from. Besides his total professionalism, Eric was available to me on every level. I felt watched out for and cared about as a real human being. He goes the extra mile to do what is necessary . A rare trait these days. Not only is the whole case finally behind me, I was also, with Erics help awarded a settlement!! If I ever need a lawyer again, I only wish It could be Eric Gordon.

Endorsement:

I am a lawyer, duly licensed to practice in all of the Courts in the State of California. I hired Eric S. Gordon in 1998 to represent me in my divorce action. Eric, from the very begining, acted with honest compassion and took great steps to keep his billing at a very reasonable level. Eric Gordon... laid the groundwork for turning our divorce into a very civilized process and inspired the framework for years of successful co-parenting. His superior legal work and diplomatic skills earned him the praises of my former wife, a great tribute to Eric's personality and approach to a potentially very contentious area of the law. Both my former wife and I have recommended Eric to friends and family throughout the years following our divorce and I have no reservations whatsoever in continuing to do so...
