A Lawyer's Lawyer
As a practicing attorney I almost never review a competitor. Eric is the exception. An excellent attorney that I would recommend without hesitation.

Real Flaky First Impression
I contacted Eric about my case, I was very disappointed with his lack of attention to details, I kept having to repeat myself over and over. I did not hire Eric for my case, I felt like it would just be a waste of money. I hired another attorney, I felt listened to me better.

Replied last September 06, 2017We have no record of ever dealing with any person whose experience even vaguely resembles this, let alone in recent memory. The timing of this review - which is very closely timed with the false and defamatory review of "James" (above) - strongly suggest this review is part of the same smear campaign. Please feel free to call to experience the personalized and caring attention about which our REAL clients consistently praise us.
