A Classy Attorney
Eric Hintz cares about his clients and puts their needs first. I was recently referred to Eric from a previous client, and let me tell you, I'm glad I was. Eric answered his text every time. He gave professional advice regarding my options and every possible resolution. The truth is I didn't have to do much. He took care of the court hearings and the paperwork. He continues to remain in touch and I highly recommend using Eric for your DUI case.

Compassionate Expert
The Law Office of Eric Hintz was highly recommended when I was arrested for DUI and Hit-and-Run in January 2012. Mr. Hintz did not take away the stigma of being locked in a cell, but he compassionately and expertly handled my case, which included his recent appearance in court on my behalf at the end of my three-year probationary period. His performance and that of his staff has allowed me to move forward in my life with dignity. Sincerely, James V.
