There, Mr. Block won a jury verdict of $7,777,800.00. In the case of Thomas vs. S.E.L. Maduro, tried before a jury in 1995, Mr. Block served as co-counsel with noted trial lawyer, S. Perry Penland, and together they won a personal injury jury verdict of just under $14,000,000.00.Mr. Block has extensive trial experience in business disputes, personal injury litigation, and criminal law.

After a five and a half long years and an exhausting trial, I should be going straight to bed. However, it is more important to me right now to offer my endorsement of Mr. Block. If you want an attorney who can wax poetic and throw a knockout punch at the same time, look no further. This man knows when to be tough and when to be eloquent. From what I observed, it is a very tough line to toe, but for Mr. Block, it seemed effortless. Although, I know that it wasn't. From the level of work that I witnessed in his office and through the tireless hours he and his team put in each and every night of my trial, it made me feel as though I were his only client. I whole-heartedly believe that with my best interests were at the forefront of every decision. Mr. Block deserves more than my gratitude and endorsement. So, I offer my recommendation. If you or anyone you know is in need of and attorney and you want to go directly to the pinnacle, seek out Eric S. Block. I assure you that you will find none better.
I wanted to share my experience that I had with Eric S. Block and Fraz Ahmed at this office. These are top notch lawyers. They will sit down with you and explain and put a plan of action together for you. Very professional and knowledgeable in the field. My case was a auto accident injury. I would recommend this office for anyone who is looking for legal help.
I have been a personal friend as well as client for over 30 years with Rick. Rick is not the typical trial lawyer that has become jaded over all of his years of practice. I have found a number of times where he has stopped whatever he might of been doing to help someone with a personal issue as well a myriad number of legal issues. If you are looking for a kind an compassionate attorney who is also a bulldog for his clients then this is your guy!! Simply the best!
A truly forthright attorney who is not only very intelligent but, more importantly, who tells me what I NEED to hear as opposed to what I want to hear. In this situation, Rick assisted my company with advise on a sensitive corporate matter, the details of which I cannot disclose. But, he was attentive, well prepared and able to convey the pros and cons in a manner that allowed us to make good decisions.
