Matt helped me reduce my traffic citation significantly. It would have been bad news for my otherwise clean record if not for him. Many thanks and would recommend to anyone!Posted on Google Jonathan SrabianTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was extremely stressed and worried after receiving a driving ticket. I was concerned about the points on my license, going to court, and how it would affect my record. From the moment I called Eric, everything became completely hands-off. He took care of it all with confidence, knowledge, and professionalism. With very few questions, Eric handled all the legwork leading up to and during my court hearing. I didn’t even have to attend. Because of his experience and relationships, he was able to get one violation completely removed and reduce the other to zero points. I’m truly grateful for his help and the outcome he achieved. I highly recommend his services.Posted on Google brandan stylesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Eric was an amazing attorney in my case! This was a very minor issue that went on and on for months and he showed up for me every court date and was responsive to all of my questions throughout this process! I didn’t have to take time off of work even when the court papers said I had to be in person! Great experience and a pleasure to work with! I would definitely recommend him and the firm for all of your attorney needs! Great job guys! Regards B StylesPosted on Google Dana ClareTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I consulted with Eric Pernie and was impressed by his attention and responsiveness. I’d recommend him if you’re looking for strong presence, good follow through, regular communication and fair/transparent pricing. I chose an attorney closer to the court for logistics, but Eric was willing to travel. Thanks Eric!Posted on Google Kristen NeugebohrTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We felt so blessed to have Mr. Fraiberg take a case for us.
