Racing Charge

I was falsely accused and arrested for allegedly racing with another car. My driving may have been a little rash in that I was trying to pass the guy on my right to take an immediate exit and it was a close call. I hired Erik and he was very forthcoming, informative and helpful. We fought my case in ...court and he got the charge reduced to a traffic infraction as he was smart with way he presented me and the incident. Highly recommend him.

Car Accident

Mr Olsen was very helpful in my car accident case. He was extremely knowledgable and clear cut in explaining all the legal jargon to me. He was professional, always keeping in contact with me to let me know where we stood in the case. Very friendly and personable. EXCELLENT LAWYER!!

Erik Olsen

My wife and I hired Mr Olsen, and his firm, in January of 2015. Mr Olsen represented us after I had been seriously injured in an automobile accident. Cathy and I were extremely pleased with Mr Olsen's work ethic, communication skills, and the settlement that we received. I would highly rec...ommend him as an attorney, and would not hesitate to hire him again in the future if necessary. Sincerely, Paul and Catherine

Positive Experience!

After being involved in an auto accident we hired Erik Olsen to represent us. We were impressed with his knowledge and professionalism, and delighted with the results in getting our case settled. He was diligent in preparing us for a meeting with the at-fault insurance representative. He was a good ...negotiator and we ended up receiving compensation above our expectations. Erik is personable and able to demystify legalese. We recommend him highly.

Peace of mind

I went to Mr Olsen with a stressful traffic case and he immediately put me at ease. He was thorough and found statues that dismissed all my charges. I had little involvement in my case, He did all the work and put my mind at ease. If you want a pro who will be up front with your problems and fight fo...r you, this is your man. I have recommend him to my friends and he will be my lawyer if I ever need one again.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
