I will always go to Erik!

I think I've worked with Erik four or five times now for traffic stuff, and every single time he has been prompt, professional, frank, and thorough: I let him know what my concerns are, provide him with the details, we have a brief chat, he lets me know what I need to do, he tells me what he is going... to do, and then he does it. Are there times I things did not go 100% my way? Sure. That's the way the cookie can in fact crumble. But I am 1000% certain that Erik did everything he could, every time, to advocate for me. He is the best!

Awesome speeding ticket record

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 affec...t my insurance costs. I highly recommend Erik and I'm sure he's also amazing at the other legal domains/services he offers.

Personal Injury

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.

Excellent Lawyer

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 h...ow 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.

Cares about every case, even the small ones

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 ov...er 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.
