For whatever reason you may need a lawyer, I know this is a scary time in your life. That’s why I went with Erik Friis. He didn’t sugar coat anything or make promises he couldn’t deliver. Erik did more than I thought could be done, and went beyond expectation. After being arrested for shoplifting and later being charged with felony burglary, Erik was able to get everything reduced to an infraction. Choosing Erik was the wisest decision I ever made. Erik did an incredible job representing me in court, and was always there for my 50 phone calls with random questions. I felt assured from the beginning with Erik’s professional manner and extensive knowledge as an attorney. The best advice I could offer someone seeking a lawyer is don’t second guess yourself; if you are seeking someone who truly cares for his clients and what he does, then going with Erik is a no brainer. Look at what he did for me. Erik changed the outcome of my life and I will be forever grateful for all he’s done.

I cannot thank Mr. Friis enough for everything he has done to help me! I would highly recommend him for anyone in need of an attorney who ends up in a situation like mine.

In my situation, I had my driver's license wrongfully revoked when I had a traffic accident. I had some medical issues in the past that were on my driving record and the police report concluded that these issues were the sole reason for the accident.

Once Mr. Friis reviewed my case, he was certain that he could help me. I was extremely nervous and I didn't know what to expect. It all seemed so daunting, but Erik took the time to explain the process, what he could do to help and so on. He was amazing at the hearing and I left there elated and with my driver's license re-instated!

I was concerned about the cost due to our financial situation, but it was clear he could do the job, and believe me...he was worth every penny, and then some!

Mr. Friis,

I just wanted to say thank you for representing me. I wanted to take a moment to let you know how much I appreciated your services. I didn’t have to miss a day of work because you appeared on my behalf for every court date. He was very easy to communicate with and explain, step by step, what was going on and what steps needed to be taken. Also you worked with me on making payments instead of paying the whole thing at once.

Thanks again,

Jasper

My name is Robert. I am 25 and I work as a salesman in Lake Elsinore, California. On February 9th I was pulled over for a DUI by a California Highway Patrol officer. I did not feel I deserved to be charged with a DUI so I chose to fight the case. A friend who had also been arrested for a DUI recommended the services of Superior Law Center. I called Erik Friis and during our first conversation I could sense the high level of professionalism he held. I also noticed that Erik had a vast knowledge of the law and the Riverside County court system. Due to Erik’s attitude and professionalism, I was very confident that my case would have a good result.

I called Erik a few days after I was arrested. I gave him the facts of my case and he analyzed them. He promptly told me that I had a good case and that he would be happy to take the case. I very much appreciated Erik’s professionalism. He always called me back with a quick manner and he was always on time for our meetings. Erik always wore a very nice suit which amplified his strong professional presence. As the court process went on, it was apparent that Erik was much respected in the Riverside County Court system. In addition Erik was happy to explain to me every aspect of the law process and the details of my case.

Initially I was concerned that the court process would be very complicated and difficult. Erik was able to explain to me everything in an understandable manner. Basically, Erik made everything easy for me. He had an office directly across the street from the court house which made meeting during court very easy. He told me when and where I had to be for court and meetings, which helped me. Erik also knows many great case experts; the fella he used for my case was awesome. The price I paid for the whole situation was a bargain compared to other DUI attorneys.

During the process I got to know Erik due to the time we spent together. He is simply a nice guy. The situation I was in stunk and Erik made it stink less. He made the time enjoyable for me by talking to me about sports and current affairs. He was even nice enough to buy me lunch, I was stoked.

I was upset when I was arrested for a DUI. I came to Erik Friis and he showed me that he was professional, knowledgeable, and had a great attitude. As a result Erik won my case. I was found NOT-GUILTY in my case. Erik did his job. I would most definitely recommend that if you are arrested for a DUI that you call Erik Friis.

Robert

Mr. Friis,
Nice talking with you yesterday – you have a good manner about you. I appreciate you asking “What are your major concerns?” Most other attorneys were more concerned about getting my contact info than assuaging my concerns and would accuse me of trying to get “free legal advice” when I tried to even get some basic information. Perhaps I made a mistake by canceling the DMV hearing in terms of taking my suspension now & in the near future filing for SR22 insurance. Is there a way to “reverse” this or negate this from my records should we win this case or get it reduced? Thank you for your time & support & your message of hope!

Chris

To Prospective Clients,

Erik 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. Erik 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

Thank you for the great service. I appreciate the result.

Erik: Enclosed is the check for the disturbing the peace charge. Thank you for all your help. It’s been a pleasure working with you, especially considering how smooth it appeared from here. I’ll let Kevin know as well.

Dear Erik Friis

I feel so lucky to have retained you as my attorney. I was facing a DUI charge that would have ended my career in the medical field. With your extensive knowledge in criminal law, you were able to navigate through the court system and seek the best outcome for my legal situation. You were able to lower the charge of DUI to a dry reckless. Your professionalism and high work ethic is of the highest standards.

This was one of my darkest moments in my life. You used empathy to listen to my legal problems and analyze the facts of my DUI case. After talking on the phone with you, you brought calmness and inner peace of mind to my life during this horrific legal situation that I was facing.

As a health care worker, I work with many professional M.D.'s that have the same high work ethic like you. You reminded me of them. You share with them that inner sense of confidence and security. With the same confidence that a cardio-thoracic surgeons has when he/she walks into the operating room, was the same confidence that you had when you walked into that court room. I was mesmerized by your high level of confidence, integrity, assurance, poise, and work ethic.

I just want to thank you, even though I will never be able to thank you enough. I will refer services to anybody I know that might be facing a similar situation. Mr. Friis, you are truly a miracle worker.

With utmost honesty,

Jorge

Dear Erik

Excuse the informality. I am without an office (Thank God)!

Please use the comments below as needed.

"I am a lawyer who made a huge mistake when I was charged with a DUI." I looked for the best representation that I could get. I chose Erik Friis. The results were better than I expected. Mr. Friis proved his merit. He was smart, diligent, and successful in my case. I cannot recommend anyone more highly.

F.B. Juris Doctor

One night I got arrested for suspicion of a DUI crash. I was worried about what to do. But one day I got a newsletter from Erik Friis Law Office. I decided to give his office a call. Right away they told me of the rights I had in an interview they were able to set up with me. Erik saved my license by putting a stay on the suspension while the court case got settled. Once my court case came up Erik was with me every step of the way. Even up til the court date he would call me and let me know what was happening. Once the court date came up Erik was able uncover evidence that led to a reduced charge of reckless driving. Erik also handled the DMV issues and was able to help me keep my license. My livelihood depends on having a license. My job requires one. Since I got a reduced charge I am eligible for my job still. I would highly recommend Erik to any of my family or friends. You get what you pay for. And in Erik you will be hiring and experienced aggressive attorney. Thanks Erik for your help.

During my legal mishap, where I was involved in a DUI case I received a letter through the mail from Erik so I decided to call. From the initial consultation I felt very pleased with my choice. Erik and his paralegals made me feel a good sense of hope and that I had a good case. There was great communication throughout the four months I had hired him and whenever I needed anything Erik was quick to have the info I needed. Erik hot my case reduced to a Dry Reckless with only a fine. I would refer Erik to anyone seeking legal assistance in a DUI case.

It is with sincere pleasure that I write this professional recommendation for Attorney Erik Friis.While representing me for a DUI which included property damage, Erik provided outstanding legal services for me. He always made sure that I understood completely where I stood and what was going to happen next. In a short period of time, I realized he was an invaluable asset to have on my side.In his capacity as my attorney, Erik oversaw not only the DMV hearings but various Superior Court hearings which included a Jury Trial. He was successful in defending me and the jury's verdict was not guilty! Erik is intelligent, highly professional and very ethical, which is an increasingly hard combination to find. Moreover, he was efficient and cost effective. I know that, given the chance, he would also provide you with his exceptional legal skills and representation.

Sincerely, Danny
