Success Stories

To Prospective Clients,
Eric Friis did an excellent job of getting me an acquittal on all counts in my jury trial for a DUI. His ability to pick a favorable jury and his presenting simply and succinctly only those facts that were important for the jurors to consider made this a positive outcome. Eric listened to my concerns was meticulous in his preparation. I can highly recommend him as a knowledgeable and quality defense attorney.
Sincerely,
Patrick
It is with great pleasure that I am writing this letter to let you know that how much I've appreciated using your services. I have never been in need of an attorney, so I'm sure you know how unsettling this experience was. I wanted to keep my legal issues as private as I could, so I used the many pamphlets that were mailed soon after my visit to an overnight stay in custody.
After meeting you in person, I was at ease with my circumstances because of your knowledge and experience with DUI-related cases. Unfortunately, I was arrested again within six months of my first offense. Again, you knew what I was up against, and the end result was beyond anything short of a miracle. I want to thank you for getting both offenses reduced to wet reckless accounts without any jail time or even community service.
I hope I never need to use your services again, and I'm on the right path to ensure I don't. I will always recommend you and your services to my friends and family. You are a professional!
Thank You!
Sincerely,
Thomas
I wanted to take a moment to let you know how much I appreciated your services for my recent driving under the influence charge.
The initial experience was certainly an eye opener to just how "backwards" the law and the entire associated processes can be, especially for those who fall in the situation where they are under the legal blood alcohol limit as set be the state/DMV, as I did. Unfair situations like the one I was in, really justify the use of a professional for the best outcome.
For our initial phone call until the entire process was "complete" I have to commend you on your great service. I was not looking to retain the actor/attorney advertising on TV late at night and pay for their advertising space. I was looking for someone who was first class as far as honesty, knowledgeable, and who would provide "start to finish" service. You exceeded my expectations all the way through.
You truly made the process as painless as possible for me. Looking back, I made my initial phone call to you, awaited you phone calls as updates were available on the key dates you advised me of up front, and then signed all paperwork at the end. Not having to make any sort of appearance in a hearing/court setting made the process a lot easier with my job where continuous travel is required.
As far as the end result of a "dry" reckless driving charge without the loss of my license, and not having to do any sort of community service or attend any alcohol abuse meetings/classes — I am very pleased. You truly provide me with the best possible outcome to a horrible situation.
While I have no plans of being a "repeat customer" for this type of service, I will certainly pass your name along to anyone in need. Please do not hesitate to use me as a reference for any future clients.
Thank you once again!
Best Regards,
Mark
Mr. Friis was my attorney representing me for a DUI case. Mr. Friis was very professional as well as being very understanding about my situation, as well as my financial situation.
Mr. Friis worked with me and was very flexible about payment for his services. Mr. Friis accepted payments from me instead of asking for his total fee up front, which I know was very commendable on his behalf.
Mr. Friis appeared on my behalf for every court date and conducted said appearances with his professionals with knowledge of the DUI laws. Mr. Friis was very informative about all proceedings of my case. He was very easy to communicate with and explain, step by step, what was going on and what steps needed to be taken.
He made this as easy an experience as possible for me to understand. For that I thank him.
Mr. Friis also prevented me from having to go to jail, instead settling for just a fine by the court and classes with OHS.
For this I truly thank and appreciate him. He is a damn good attorney and I would gladly recommend his services.
Once again, thanks for a job well done.
Sincerely,
Philip
Thank you very much for your representation in my case. I appreciate your working on my behalf in ensuring the best possible outcome. I have been fortunate to have had an attorney that was willing to take time to answer all my questions and discuss possible scenarios with me. You have made me confident that I understand al that I need to know.
I appreciate your time, consideration and hard work. If I ever need an attorney, I will certainly contact you first.
Thanks again,
Amber
I found myself facing criminal charges after my DUI. It was the single most costly mistake that I could have made. My marriage, career, and freedom were in jeopardy. I retained Erik Friis on the matter and after our initial consultation I was very relieved to have his experience on my side. He represented me in a courteous and professional manner. I was informed of my rights and responsibilities every step of the way. He even offered me a payment plan. I was able to breathe easy thanks to Erik Friis. I would recommend him to anyone facing a DUI charge.
Thanks,
Geoff
