Gave our family great guidance

We had an emergency situation requiring knowledge, guidance and confidentiality. Eric Anderson was immediately available, guided our actions and, maybe most important, helped us have a good attitude about what mattered and what didn't. The outcome was totally favorable for us which was based on bot...h the facts of the matter and Eric's legal guidance. He will be our professional, as well as personal, attorney in every legal matter

Reviews by clients are excellent and should be read. Do yourself a favor if you are in or near Redlands and schedule a consultation."

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.

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.
