This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

He really listens to his clients!

He listened carefully to my real estate law problem and gave a clear and helpful response. Worked out some paperwork for me in hours not days and was very thorough. I felt like he understood what I needed and helped guide me through the process. I highly recommend him!

Knowledgeable and Effective

I have used Eric's legal services on several occasions. He and his firm have never disappointed me. Eric holds his staff to the highest of standards that produce results. The communication was consistent and his advice and legal knowledge was extremely helpful. Potentially saving me for liabilitie...s that I just overlooked. I recommend Butterworth Law Firm. They made me feel like I was their only client. You can tell they care deeply about their clients.

Relationship: Worked for lawyer

"Eric is always the first attorney I turn to when I have a question about landlord-tenant law or any kind of real estate transaction. He has a real talent for getting all parties on the same page so that a deal can be closed as quickly and efficiently as possible. The real estate law knowledge that he has acquired over the years is impressive, and there is no questioning his honesty and integrity."

  • 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.
