Excellent lawyer! Highly Recommended!
I would recommend Erik to anyone. I had a tough case where I was falsely accused of domestic violence against my ex partner and didn't know where to turn. Erik came highly recommended from a friend that had used him for a DUI a year prior so I decided to go talk to him. He really made me feel at ease...
