Review Erik Olsen

Excellent Lawyer

Posted by

Erik helped me vacate a class C felony I had on my record and helped restore my right to firearms. He offered me a free consultation, where he explained to me what the vacating process entailed and to set up some reasonable expectations. After hiring Erik to proceed with my case, I was very pleased how things turned out. The whole process was made very easy by Erik, always available to answer any questions I might’ve had. Erik was very knowledgeable about the entire vacating process and you get the sense that he really wants to help you, not just earn your business. I highly recommend Erik for anyone looking to vacate a previous judgement off their record or anyone who needs help restoring their right to firearms.

Best in the business!

Mr. Erik has dismissed my infraction due to insufficient evidence in the officer’s narrative and the court granted the motion. He is gem of the person and awesome lawyer. I will recommend him for any traffic violation case to him.

Cares about every case, even the small ones

Posted by

I really felt that no attorney would take on my small traffic complaints. After calling several law firms offered through my legal plan and getting no call backs, I had almost given up hope. That was until I called Erik's law firm. I got a call back the next morning from Erik. We went step by step over the case. I had his full attention. No speaker phone, and no rush job. He stayed on top of my cases and kept in great contact with me via phone and e-mail. I had such a great experience, I went back for a 2nd set of cases. Both times I went with Erik I saw positive results. I HIGHLY recommend Erik Olson to anyone who is trying to fight unjust traffic/parking tickets.

Excellent Experience

Posted by

Working with Erik on a traffic violation case was about as easy as making a phone call. He handled all of the details of my case with minimal back and forth, kept me informed along the way, and earned a favorable result in the end. The process couldn't have been simpler for me. Highly recommended!

Great Service!

Posted by

Erik did an excellent job working on my traffic infraction. He explained the process to me in detail and was able to get my ticket dismissed. I would not hesitate to use Erik again, not just for traffic infractions, but for much more detailed legal issues. Having him work with me on this case helped me to understand the legal process more and really removed the stress of having to appear in court.

Can I do 10 stars

Posted by

Every time I hire Erik he does nothing but exceed my expectations. I had a traffic violation I thought for sure I would need top pay but boy was I wrong. Erik spoke with the city prosecutor who agreed the ticket was thin and best and should be dismissed. Thank you Erik for all you hard work and prompt follow up. I would recommend Erik to even my worst enemies... he is just that good.

100% Success Rate

Posted by

Erik represented my family with our traffic infractions in courts since 2018. He has yet to lose a case and ALL of my infractions from red light, speeding, camera, HOV, and parking with expired tag got dismissed without paying a fine. None of my infractions got committed nor deferred by the courts. His expertise in traffic law and traffic courts makes him the best in the business. Erik is very responsive and I always get a response from him. His professionalism is the best in my book. If you need a traffic lawyer, I highly recommend you contact Erik Olsen.

Expensive infraction ticket to $0 + Amazing service

Posted by

I received a very expensive traffic infraction ticket and a friend recommended Erik to me. I am very grateful for that because my experience with Erik was amazing. He was immediately and consistently responsive to my numerous questions. He was also able to appear in court on my behalf, so I did not have to lift a finger and after all that he brought my payment due to $0. He immediately called me after the hearing to let me know the hearing verdict and the process. I highly recommend Erik to anyone who has any type of traffic infraction to reach out to Erik and get the most pleasant lawyer experience you can ask for. Thanks a ton!

Speeding Traffic Ticket

Posted by

My experience with Erik was excellent. He was easy to reach, always responded back to my emails and phone calls. Went into detail about everything with me and took his time. He was able to appear on my behalf in court for me and get my speeding ticket to an infraction that did not affect my car insurance or show on record, this was very important to me. I would recommend him to anyone fighting any type of speeding infraction. I will be returning for any further issues if need be.

My first lawyer

Posted by

Erik is the first lawyer I've ever had to hire and helped me get a one-year suspension of my driver's license dropped. Although I made the case, Erik provided the legal backing. Other lawyers I had consulted thought it was a long shot, but Erik got it done. I couldn't have done it without his support, diligence and representation. Thanks!
