Thank you for a job well done.

Eric did an amazing job getting my daughters speeding ticket reduced so she could go to traffic school. Also, he got the fees reduced. By doing this, our insurance will not be effected.

A Lawyer You Can Trust!

I hired Mr. Ortner to handle a bankruptcy for my mother, who had lost her ability manage her own affairs. He and the people in his office handled everything in a very professional and efficient manner, even helping my mother, who had never touched a computer before, log on and complete information... necessary to complete the process. I was so grateful as from the moment I hired him my mother could tell her creditors to back off and to call her attorney. She could finally answer her phone again without the fear of being berated or hassled . His fees were fair and I always heard back from him or his assistant within hours of my inquiry. In the last year I needed to contact them regarding credit information relating to the bankruptcy and they graciously helped me through the process so I could better take care of my mother and her financial needs. I highly recommend Mr. Ortner and would hire him again in a second. My only regret is that he does not practice in other areas of law so I could hire him again because I trust him and his team so much.

I WAS APPOINTED ERIC ORTNER BY THE COURT. HE HAD FACTUAL EXCULPATORY EVIDENCE WHICH HE INTENTIONALY WITHHELD FROM THE COURT THAT I PERSONALLY GAVE TO HIM PRIOR TO PRONOUCEMENT OF SENTENCE, WHERE THE EVIDENCE CAME IN THE FORM OF A LETTER FROM A OFFICER OF THE COURT ( ELLEN C. DOVE ESQ.) WHEREIN THIS L...ETTER RAISED A SIGNIFACANT QUESTION AS TO WHETHER THERE WAS ANY LIGITITMATE FOUNDATION FOR THE PROSICUTION.IN ADDITION I HAVE RECENTLY HAVE BEEN MADE AWARE OF ADDITIONAL EXCULPATORY EVIDENCE FROM THE CLIEN FILE THAT MR. ORTNER SENT ME HIMSELF (11-12-2019) RECEIVED/ OPENED (01-24-1213) THE EXCULPATORY EVIDENCE INCLUDED STATMENTS MADE BY THE ASSUMED VICTEIM WHICH REPEATIDLY RAISED THE LACK OF FOUNDATION FOR PROSICUTION. PRIOR TO THE COURTS DECISION, I HAD MADE NUMERIOS ATTEMPTS TO COMPELL MUTUAL DISCOVERY OF ALL THE FACTS AND EVIDENCE IN THE CASE BY MR. ORTNER IN WHICH HE NEVER WAS NEVER COMPLIED WITH. HAD I BEEN ALLOWED TO ABOVE METIONED ARTICALS I WOULD HAVE MADE A DIFFERENT DICISION REGAURD ING THIS CASE.THIS BEING SAID I WOULD NOT RECOMEND HIS OFFICE FOR SERVICES!
