Facing an important financial I obtained advise and counsel from Erik. He provided an expert analysis of the decision I needed to make and helped guide me to the right call. In the end, it was the correct decision and I would have been in a tough spot if I had not trusted his advise.

Happy client

Erik is a good attorney skilled in handling nearly any legal issue life may throw at you. He will fight for you and not give up. Further, he is accessible and will fully explain legal options. He handled my legal needs professionally and was pleasant to deal with. I now consider him a friend and will seek his counsel again in the future. If you have a pressing question, I urge you to consult with Erik. He will be honest with you and you can trust he has your best interests at heart.

Erik conducts himself in a professional manner and has the requisite experience to handle even complex, contentious litigation. He listens to his clients so that he can achieve the outcome the client desires. He, also, is forthcoming in explaining to his client the likelihood of success on each particular issue so that a client is able to decide what course of action should be taken. Erik is very personable and puts the needs of the client first. When you hire Erik, you know you have a strong, experienced litigator on your side.
