Settlement
$399,000
Car Accident
This client left a terrible review for another law firm who was only able to get a $125,000 offer in nearly 2 years and who never picked up their phone. Problem was, this nice lady owed over $270,000 against the settlement. Eric was able to add $274,000 to the offer in JUST 2 WEEKS! He also negotiated a reduction of liens from $270,000 to $133,000. Needless to say, this wonderful client was thrilled.

Car Accident
This client had worked with Eric before. When he needed a lawyer again, he called Eric immediately. Eric was convinced that the case was worth every single penny of available insurance. When the insurance company offered $300,000, this client trusted Eric and he was able to secure the entire policy limit - an additional $173,057.26 - just a few months later.
Settlement

Car Accident
This was a “soft tissue” case. Insurance companies use terms like “soft tissue” to minimize pain and suffering so that they can make more profit. In this case, we walked away from a $450,000 offer at a mediation where most other attorneys would have settled. We got additional evidence that allowed us to settle for an additional $150,000 less than a month later.

Car Accident
The client was hit by an unlicensed driver and had neck surgery. In an effort to compromise, our firm gave State Farm 4 – FOUR – different chances to pay $750,000. A Fulton County Judge granted our Motion to Compel that forced State Farm to give us additional evidence. The Judge also awarded us attorney’s fees for our Motion. A short time thereafter, State Farm paid us their $1 million policy limits.

Car Accident
This client underwent two shoulder surgeries. The at-fault driver only carried $25,000 in coverage. The client’s employer had another $1 million in insurance coverage, but the insurance company did not want to pay the claim fairly. Eric let them know his client was seeking an additional $750,000 to resolve the case. Eric advised this client to reject a $450,000 offer at mediation. 13 months later, the insurance company finally met Eric’s original demand of an additional $750,000.00. This client has referred many of his friends and family to Eric. To this day, he calls from time to time to see how Eric is doing.

This felt like a Godsend when Eric realized this client went by his middle name – “Eric”! Lawyer Eric was able to add over $100,000 to the settlement value in this case during negotiations. Client Eric was very happy with this result.
Settlement

Eric was referred to this case by another happy client. This client badly needed a neck surgery, but was having severe financial difficulty. Eric helped this client get pre-settlement loans so that she could recover from neck surgery. Ultimately, Eric worked with this client and her brother to achieve this great result.
Judgment
$4,510,000
Car Accident
Our client was a 22-year-old who got T-boned at a bad intersection that caused him to need back surgery. State Farm argued that the accident was 50/50 and asked the jury to award $0 or $25,000 or $50,000. In less than 30 minutes total, the jury put 0% fault on our client and awarded $3.21 million. Then the Judge added $1.3 million in penalties against State Farm before we left the courthouse.
Post-Trial Settlement
$385,000
Car Accident
The first offer was $10,000. The final pre-trial offer was $50,000. After the jury awarded $270,000, Eric reached a settlement that added $115,000 because the insurance company knew the Judge was going to award additional money for attorney’s fees, interest, and litigation expenses. 38.5 times the initial offer!
Settlement
$225,000
Slip and Fall
Eric took this case over from another attorney who believed this case was not going to win. However, Eric took a deposition of the hotel’s ex-manager who told him the hotel was too cheap to purchase more wet floor signs when she had asked. She also testified that the client would not have been able to know that the floor was wet when she fell. Shortly after, the offer went from $0.00 to $225,000.
Settlement
$1,400,000
Car Accident
This client was referred to Eric from another happy client. He suffered a broken leg. The original offer in the case was under $300,000. At mediation, we reached an agreement where the client was guaranteed to win at least $1 million at trial but could not win more than $2.5 million. Eric convinced the insurance company to pay the $1 million at the time of the agreement instead of waiting until trial. A few months later, the insurance company agreed to pay an additional $400,000 to settle out of court.
