Exceptionally caring service

Eric has help my elderly 88 year old Mother through some very challenging legal matters. My Mother is kind and gentle but she cannot hear very well, so she will talk over you. Eric has been very patient kind and caring, helping her and explaining to her all the legal matters and documents. She had a ...Living trust over her property that she didn't remember having and she had lost the documents. Eric did extensive research, created new documents, and helped her get her property back into her personal hands so that her Will could be effective. He helped her and the family with her will, and POA's for healthcare and her estate, which has 6 beneficiaries. Eric even came over to her house on his day off, with a witness to help my Mom sign her documents, and spent time talking and listening to her. Recently Eric helped my Mom to get out of 2 predatory timeshares in Hawaii that she hasn't been able to use for 10 years. He did the extensive research and found these Living trusts (in Hawaii), and arranged to meet my Mom in his Parking lot, in our truck to sign the documents. This was at the beginning of the Covid-19 epidemic. Eric brought two associates to witness her signing the documents. They all showed alot of patience with my Mom. Eric has the best, most kind and caring service that one can find. I believe he is the most unselfish and caring Attorney anywhere. I wholeheartedly recommend Eric as the best Attorney out there for Estate matters. Sincerely, Darin H.

Always There For Us

Eric provided outstanding service to my family. He always took the time to listen and address our concerns, via phone calls and emails. He and his assistant, Jocelyn, demonstrated compassion and patience during a very difficult time with my mother, who resides in Seattle. My sibling and I are out ...of state; Eric assisted us from afar, helping to manage my mother's affairs from a distance. He was extremely responsive, guiding, advising, and creating required documents. What a pleasure to know lawyers such as Eric are out there for us.

Compliments to an outstanding attorney - Eric Arthur Olson

Mr. Olson has proved to be an outstanding and helpful attorney to us. We have had personal documents prepared by him, only after he spent a good amount of time meeting with us. We found him to be patient, professional in our dealing with him. We had a perplexing issue we could not resolve for over... a year. Thanks to the advice Mr. Olson dispersed to us, we were able to resolve this issue in less than one-half hour. To say that the weight lifted from our shoulders was enormous is an understatement. His staff is extremely helpful as well. We will continue to utilize Mr. Olson's expertise in the future.

"Eric and I have worked on several cases together. He is what one should look for in an attorney - he's smart; he knows the law; he 's a forceful advocate; and his work shows how much he cares for his client. Eric has two more qualities that are rare and invaluable - perspective and integrity. I endorse this lawyer."

"Eric is a highly experienced, seasoned family law lawyer who I recommend without reservation. I have referred a number of clients to Eric for family law help and without exception, every client has made the effort to get back to me and thank me for the referral. My take from these clients is that Eric is the kind of lawyer who really listens to his clients and is able, in most instances, to craft a reasonable, practical settlement that saves both parties an enormous amount in attorney fees. Kudos to Eric!"

"As many others have said, Erik is one of the "good guys." He is also a great employer who is extremely professional, compassionate, and ethical in his practice of law. He is also an effective mentor who discovers his employees' talents, allowing them to flourish. He also talks great care and time in teaching his employees to think of new ways of approaching the law, so as to help clients in the best possible way. Family law is a very tough and emotional area of law. But Eric makes it much less painful and even rewarding for employees and clients alike."
