Review Erik Olsen

Awesome speeding ticket record

5.0 stars

Posted by Miguel S

Erik has been my go to attorney for speeding tickets since back in 2012. He's super easy to communicate, very affordable and has a 100% success rate with either getting me a favorable result or having the ticket dismissed. Either way, he saved me tons of money because these infractions did not affect my insurance costs. I highly recommend Erik and I'm sure he's also amazing at the other legal domains/services he offers.

Excellent traffic ticket results

I've worked with several traffic ticket attorneys over the years and Erik is the first one who has actually been able to get my ticket completely dismissed. Usually the tickets are converted to non-moving violations for the same dollar amount. He did a great job of communication as well, and kept me apprised at each step of the process. 5/5 stars.

When I was attacked by a dog, I needed help getting a fair settlement. Erik worked with the insurance company and got great results. He was always available to answer my questions and made the entire process easy to understand and comfortable. It felt good to have someone so competent and capable on my side and I was very pleased with the experience. If I ever need an Attorney again, Erik will be my first choice.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.
