This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Personal Injury Representation

I am very grateful to be represented by Strongin Law Firm and appreciate their professional representation. The staff with this law firm has kept in constant communication with me and provided updates every step of the process. I am extremely thankful for their dedication to my case; their hard wor...k and I feel that they have taken a personal interest to help me. The injury I’m being represented for has caused a great deal of pain, extremely stressful and such a difficult period in my life. However, knowing I am being represented by professionals who are caring and willing to go the extra mile for me as their client has helped me to focus on healing while they work diligently to fight my case. The attorney/client professionalism provided by Strongin Law is unmatched and I am very grateful to have them representing me.

It was a tough fight

It was a long hard fight and Eric did a great job arguing the case to a jury. He worked hard and was always thoughtful of what we were going through. Now thanks to Eric I don't have to go through the rest of my life being angry and the Bicycle Club was found responsible for my brother's death.

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.
