Working with Ethan or the last 10 years

I highly recommend Ethan - he's passionate, dedicated, and truly cares about his clients. He explores every possible avenue to ensure the best outcome, no matter the situation. You won't find stronger advocacy or deeper commitment.

Highly recommend!

Ethan came highly recommended to us from a good friend. We had found ourselves in a peculiar real estate claim after discovering a mound of damage and rot to our home’s foundation that wasn’t disclosed in our sellers/buyer’s agreement. He was very honest with us that the bread and butter of his pract...ice lied mostly in personal injury claims, but he had some experience in construction/real estate law as well. This was the first time my husband and I had ever had to hire a lawyer and we can honestly say that Ethan was wonderful. We didn’t get the expected outcome that we wanted with our claim, but to no fault of Ethan’s. The claim really was tricky, but we had to try. Ethan was not only honest and leading, but we felt comfortable with him. It was easy to work with him. He comes highly recommended from us! Thank you, Ethan! It was a pleasure working with you and we’ll be sure to keep you in mind if we ever need a lawyer again! George & Lindsey

Paralegal Internship

I interned under Ethan for roughly three months as a paralegal where I was able to get experience in the legal field in a way unlike any other internship could offer. Ethan cares deeply about his clients and helped to teach me that kind of mindset as well. I would definitely recommend him as the atto...rney to handle any type of personal injury claim and he was generous enough to give me a professional reference to help me land the job that I am at now. Ethan helped to inspire me to become a better legal professional and jumpstart my career. I cannot begin to thank him enough.

Representation that cares!

Ethan helped me through my car accident experience that happened in 2015. He did everything to help reduce my stress and make things easier on me. He would regularly check up on me just to make sure I was okay. Ethan will genuinely care about helping you! He is amazing and I would definitely rec...ommend him!
