Professional, Responsive, Empathetic

We had the opportunity to work with Eric Gans, whose ability to provide my family with professional, yet empathetic counsel is a rare combination we found to put us in a position of strength and comfort. We found the entire firm at OxtonStaabGans to be welcoming, responsive and willing to do what... it takes to reach your desired outcomes in an ethical fashion. Seeking legal counsel is one of the most important decisions you'll make and Eric as well as the rest of the partners will allow you to sleep well at night during what is likely a difficult time.

Build your dream team.

For those that have the opportunity to build your dream team of professionals, you will not find a person that sets a higher bar than Eric Gans. Eric's ability to provide real world counsel and his astute knowledge of the legal system makes him an incredibly important person to have on your team. ...Always with a strategic mindset of what is best for his clients, which is exceedingly rare in a field that is often tarnished by those that choose to abuse the system. I trust Eric with my most difficult life challenges and opportunities and put my name and reputation in recommending him. Should you choose to work with him, it will be one of the best decisions you make in life.

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.
