THEE Best Lawyer in the Lehigh!

I had several Driving while DUI suspended charges even though I had proof from PennDot that I did all of my required paperwork and paid every fine and fee, including the interlock device. I Attorney Harakal kept it honest and direct; he advised the variables of the outcome of this matter which would... have resulted in jail time (and time away from my young daughters). Long story short, my cases resulted in NO jail time. I really do appreciate everything Attorney Harakal has done for me and my family. He is MY attorney! God Bless you!

Helped with my case- rockstar!!

I was charged with felony and misdemeanor counts of theft resulting from a horrible decision. I lawyered up and was going through the process. After this, I met Eric in my personal life who is one of the most down to earth, caring, and knowledgeable people you may ever meet. He truly cares about what... he does and getting the best outcome for his clients and, in this case, friend. He coached me through the process, at times even more so than my own paid attorney. He made me feel comfortable and confident. Additionally, he took time to explain my options clearly and concisely and explored the option of ARD with me. Now that I’ve been accepted in the ARD program, I can see how it all played out exactly as Eric explained. If I could go back and do it all again, I would choose Eric to represent me without hesitation. I highly recommend if you are going through legal trouble, and need a lawyer you can feel confident in to care about you as a person most importantly, this is your lawyer!

He is a Rip off, and must have a fake practice

Erik Harakal is the worst lawyer around he will take your money knowing he can’t do anything for your situation and he will milk you for more with lies to lead you to think that you have a case just to get more money from you. I would never recommend this firm to hire unless you want to end up paying... more just to end up worst off than a public defender. I had the worst experience of my life giving this man my life to handle.

Horrible

I would never ever hire anyone from this law group for anything! I was told one thing and basically bullied by the “victim” and the judge and the DA and he didn’t do anything about it and I got the most horrible sentence . It is more than someone I know that has a drug charge! It is absolutely disapp...ointing that someone can take your money and not be good at their job. Good luck to anyone in the future.

Amazing lawyer providing amazing results

I hired attorney Eric Harakal and I am very pleased with the results that I got. He assured me that he would take care of everything in my criminal case. He assisted me with postponing my court date and going over various options that we may face. When we were at the court house, he definitely stands... out out of all of the attorneys his smile and charasma is like the sun. He immediately pressed the DA and pushed for my desired result. I am very pleased with his service and I would whole heartly recommend him to anyone seeking legal consel.
