─ Marci Comeau Murphy, Attorney at Law.
I have had the pleasure of working with Erik Larson, regarding my mother's safety and care prior to her passing, and currently in regard to an investigation involving potential financial fraud and exploitation. Erik is outstanding in his work and a true professional! He is dependable, circumspect, competent, compassionate, considerate, resourceful, timely, trustworthy, ethical, and has passion for his work.I highly recommend Erik to anyone needing his expertise and professional services.
─ Ann Beardsley, Jafra District Manager
As an adoption attorney, I always looked forward to working with the families on Erik Larson's caseload. Erik is always conscientious, making sure to send me exactly what I needed for each adoption...and when an unexpected issue would arise, Erik was responsive, diligent and was always going above and beyond the call to ensure the adoption would occur in a timely manner. I wish Erik still worked in Adoptions, but with his attention to detail, high level of professionalism as well as the ability to think quickly on his feet, I know Erik will be successful in whatever he does. I HIGHLY recommend Erik Larson for your legal project.
