Amazing
Erik Leading took our case and did a lot of work before charging is. He took our family situation into account when giving us a quote. He is fair and honest and won't give you false hope. I truly recommend him.

An Attorney That Cares
I was referred to Mr. Kaeding by another highly respected attorney. He took my case with very little time to prepare before the hearing, He treated me with respect and honesty, and received the desired outcome at the hearing. What more can you ask for?
"Erik Kaeding has decades of experience as a criminal defense attorney. I am a business lawyer and trust Erik with my own clients when the need arises for his services. I endorse Erik Kaeding."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have known Erik Kaeding since law school and have worked closely with him on several matters during the many years we have both been criminal defense attorneys in the same Courts. Erik is a highly respected litigator, with a direct and common sense based approach that clients, Prosecutors and Judges appreciate very much. If a case needs to be tried to a jury Erik is extremely effective. And if a case demands a negotiated resolution Erik understands how to approach that process to get the best results. If you need an effective, respected attorney who will talk to you in a way you will understand, then you should talk with Erik."
"Mr. Kaeding is an exceptional attorney. He is experienced, hard working and has good judgement. Because he is skilled and well prepared he has a very high success rate on his cases and is well respected in the legal community."
