I highly recommend Eric! From the very first phone call, he was professional, knowledgeable, and reassuring. I reached out to him around 7 PM, and he took the time to explain everything clearly, walk me through what to expect, and reassure me that everything would be handled promptly.
What I appreciated most was his communication. He always responded to my text messages quickly, and no matter how many questions I had, he patiently explained things until I fully understood.
On the day of my court appearance, everything went so smoothly that I didn’t even have to step inside the courtroom. Eric had everything handled in less than 30 minutes!
He truly made a stressful situation so much easier, and I’m extremely grateful for his professionalism, patience, and dedication. I couldn’t have asked for a better attorney. Thank you, Eric!

I honestly can’t say enough good things about Eric Matheny! I unexpectedly found myself dealing with a legal matter from over 20 years ago and Eric made what could have been an incredibly stressful situation so much easier.
I first reached out on a Friday evening, and he got back to me in less than an hour. On a Friday evening, no less! By Monday, I had officially retained him, and by Wednesday, he had already come back with a more than reasonable solution to get the matter resolved. The turnaround was incredible.
Beyond being knowledgeable, efficient, and incredibly responsive, Eric is just a genuinely nice guy. He’s approachable, straightforward, and never once made me feel judged or overwhelmed. He took something that felt complicated and intimidating and made it feel manageable almost immediately.
What I appreciate most, beyond how quickly he worked, is the peace of mind he’s given me. I went from unexpectedly discovering a decades-old legal issue to feeling like I could finally relax, all in a matter of days.
I’m so grateful for how Eric handled everything, especially the care, urgency, and professionalism he brought to the situation. It’s rare to find someone who can put you at ease while getting things done so quickly. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone needing a great attorney.

Thank you so much.
I can only imagine how stressful a situation that is 20 years old could be. I deal with those situations all too often - good people who are still haunted by an event that occurred over two decades ago.
I’m very glad that we could bring you peace and closure.

Exceptional legal representation from start to finish! Eric Matheny truly went above and beyond throughout my entire case. What impressed me the most was his dedication and accessibility. No matter when I called or texted, he was always there to answer my questions, provide guidance, and reassure me. I never felt like just another client. I genuinely felt like I had someone in my corner whom I could trust completely.
His professionalism, knowledge, and commitment to achieving the best possible outcome exceeded my expectations. On top of his outstanding service, his fees are extremely reasonable for the level of attention and representation he provides.
Finding an attorney who is not only excellent at what he does but also genuinely cares about his clients is rare. Eric is exactly that. I couldn’t be happier with my experience and the outcome of my case. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for an honest, dedicated, and trustworthy attorney. Thank you, Eric, for going above and beyond!
