I had a great experience working with Erik. He is very detailed in his work and his dedication to his clients shows throughout. During my entire experience I felt as though Erik was easily reached via email or text. I highly recommend Erik if you want a detailed down to earth lawyer.
Erik provided an excellent service and put his knowledge on full display. He was able to settle my case prior to going to trial with the outcome I was hoping for. I would highly recommend Erik Fern to anyone looking for legal representation. He kept me well informed every step of the way and made sure all court deadlines were met ahead of time.
I would highly recommend Erik for all your legal needs! He went above and beyond for my case! I am among the elderly here in Lincoln and have used many attorney's in my lifetime! If only Erik was around years ago, my life would have turned out, with the Justice, I and my family so deserved! He took my new case without mentioning a retainer of high bucks, right off the bat! High retainers scare most clients off! He will be upfront, with his knowledge of winning your case or Not! He was very thorough and brought about his passion, and his legal knowledge, for my getting Justice against a person(persons) that done me wrong, when I lost faith in our police department! He won my civil case against a hit and run driver,(s), with a Judgement over $5,000 and I will be forever grateful for choosing Erik Fern to fight for me! He answered all my calls and emails in a timely manner and kept me updated on the case! You won't find many around, that are as caring and intelligent as Erik is!! I hope I don't need to use another Attorney in Lincoln again, but in case I do, I will always go to Erik Fern!
He was very helpful and understanding of my situation. His staff were very helpful with any questions or issues. The price was very reasonable. He was very professional and responsible with this matter. I needed help restoring my gun rights. I would definitely recommend Erik Fern for legal representation!
Erik was recommended to me by a friend that had used his expertise and skill. I have to say… choosing Erik to represent me was the best decision I made in my whole case. During this very difficult time for me, Erik was professional yet caring, he was a good listener but knew what questions to ask, and he was someone that I could depend on to bring justice to my situation. In the court room, Erik knew when to strike and when to listen, he instructed me prior to court so that I could think clearer on the stand when my nerves wanted to get the best of me. He is very knowledgeable with the law and read between the lines when assessing the situation in the court room. We worked after hours to accommodate my work schedule at times, which was a blessing to me. Erik Fern is an excellent representation of what an attorney should be. If you choose Erik, you have nothing to worry about. He is all in when he takes a case, he was when he took mine and I am forever grateful to have him in my path of life. JW
We hired Eric for litigation on a very complicated and fraud involving an estate. Eric did an excellent job in every way. He kept us well informed and went beyond what we ever expected. Excellent in discovery and handling of himself in and out of the court room. Very Professional. We highly recommend him to anyone.
I had the misfortune of an exceptionally bad divorce. Assets hidden and the well being of children at stake. Mr. Fern used his multitude of personal and professional resources to thoroughly represent my case. His exceptional character and understanding gave me a sense of security in very dark times. Despite relentless challenges he was positive and worked hard to earn me the best outcome possible. He is certainly an outstanding figure in his field.
Erik represented me in a case I really thought I had no chance in winning or even resolving in a reasonable amount of time. Erik was honest, up front and most importantly has an integrity that is unmatched. He does the right thing. In my case, I had no chance of out spending the other side. I needed to rely on facts and Erik made sure we were prepared to go to battle even aquiring accounting experts to solidify my case. My children were involved and it was very important to both myself and Erik that they were not harmed in anyway during this process. Their well being was the most important factor. We were able to resolve the conflict via mediation which was the best senario for my kids and myself. Erik was instrumental in getting a resolution without having to got to trial. I know if we went to trial my case would have been drawn out and legal fees would have continued to increase. He put my family's needs above his own bank account and that is rare for any attorney. There is no doubt in my mind; Erik is the BEST there is.
