Atty.Norby was one of 2 lawyers who I hired for a medical malpractice suit. My questions were answered and explained in language I could understand. He came across as very caring and positive that I did have exceptional reasons to go ahead with a case. I feel Atty.Norby went way above in getting me a settlement.

I retained Erics services for a Medical Malpractice Suit. Through his diligence and determination I never had to go to court. I was awarded enough of a settlement to take care of my wife and i through and into retirement. If you are looking for an attorney that will help you and guide through a rough court case I strongly recommend Eric and his firm.

Eric assisted my husband and I recently with a incident that had us both nervous as we were very much out of our element (I work in health care and my husband works in HVAC). Eric was so quick to ease our nerves and get us on the right track toward a solution. He was always available and quick to respond with anything we needed and great to make sure we were comfortable and understood what was going on. We couldn't have asked for a smoother resolution!

I am extremely fortunate that Porter, Nordby, and Howe took my case after suffering a traumatic brain injury following a serious car accident. For over three years of medical rehabilitation and legal proceedings I worked with the lawyers and staff at the firm. They are a truly solid, forthright, and professional team. In the end, my case progressed to an eight-day civil trial. During the lead-up and long days of the trial itself I saw firsthand what an outstanding lawyer and person Eric Nordby is. He brought an adept and thorough analytical mind, a principled work ethic, and personal dedication to my case. Eric is a highly skilled negotiator who operates calmly while under pressure. My family and I are privileged to have benefited from Eric’s expertise throughout our experience with the firm, which led to over a million dollars in financial compensation. I cannot recommend him more highly.

Outstanding experience, No one likes having to go to court, however Eric took the time to educated my wife and I on the process and procedures and was with us every step of the way. Always felt he had our best interests at heart and that he cared for us. He is very thorough, attends to details and follow throughs with what needs to be done. My wife and I give him our highest recomendation.

I am an attorney and client of Eric Nordby. Since I'm familiar with the practice of law, I knew what to expect from my lawyer. Eric has greatly exceeded those expectations. Without a doubt, he is one of the most talented lawyers I have ever seen. I cannot recommend him enough to anyone who seeks his counsel.
