Authentic, Honest and Reliable

I was really appreciative of having Eric in my corner. The legal system is both overwhelming and confusing. Eric has the ability to patiently simplify complex issues while also taking into consideration the inevitable emotions that come with criminal cases. My case had both scheduling and immigration... implications and he was able to tap into his relationships to get a better result. Eric stayed in contact throughout the process. He was honest and fair. He did his due diligence and went the extra mile for me.

he is a wonderful attorney and a person.

hey everyone, I was very scared to go to the court so I hired Mr.Eric to deal with this court matter and so I went to see him at his office and he explained me in detailed about all possibilities,at that time I was very scared however after meeting him I got bit relaxed and stopped thinking about my... case. Mr.Eric and me were seen next in the court and he was there in court before me and we were done in court in 20 minutes and because of him I got only one day community service and the case is over. I HIGHLY RECOMMENDED MR.ERIC AS A CRIMINAL ATTORNEY AS HE IS WORKING VERY AGGRESSIVELY FOR HIS CLIENTS. THANK YOU SO MUCH MR.ERIC.

Excellent Lawyer

Eric was the first lawyer I've ever hired and he made the whole process easy and was comforting throughout the entire case. Eric did a great job explaining the law and clearly explaining what options I had. He made me feel comfortable along the way and ensured that everything would be fine for my cas...e. In the end, he was correct and won the case. Eric is approachable and friendly from the start. I felt I could trust him from the beginning. He is very responsive to emails and always takes the time to address your concerns. I would recommend him to anyone I know that needs a lawyer.

"I've known of Mr. Arnone and his work as an attorney since his years as an Assistant District Attorney, and have relied on his advice relating to criminal law since I started my own Immigration Law practice. In all the years that I have called him with questions relating to criminal law, I have yet to posit a question that he was unable to answer immediately and in great detail. No question was too obscure or complex for him to handle. Let's put it this way- If I were ever arrested, he's the man I would call for help."

"I've known Eric professionally for more than a decade. We started together at the Manhattan DA's Office, where Eric quickly earned his reputation as a great litigator with a powerful courtroom presence and an exceptional grasp of the law. He was a great prosecutor, a knowledgeable colleague, a loyal friend, and the person I would want representing me in the courtroom. I highly endorse this attorney."

Relationship: Friend

"I have known Eric for over 13 years. We worked as colleagues at the Manhattan District Attorney's Office for many years and Eric was, without a doubt, one of the most talented and dedicated assistant district attorney in the office. He prosecuted some of the most hardened criminals in Manhattan and always did so in a tough but fair manner. He is now showcasing that same passion and commitment as a criminal defense attorney. I can't think of someone I would rather have protecting the rights of a friend or family member accused of a crime. Anyone in need of criminal representation would be well served to consult with Eric."

"I've known Eric for a long time and had the pleasure of working alongside him for many years. He has a rare combination of brains and street smarts and gets great results for his clients. As an advocate he's tough and polished, and in terms of his preparation, he's thorough and detail-oriented. Most importantly, though, he genuinely cares about his clients and goes to war for them. I wouldn't hesitate to hire him if I were in trouble myself."

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.
