Hired Attorney Eric K. Washburn

Eric was an acquaintance through a mutual friend, but never had the opportunity to work with him in his professional setting. My wife was in a car accident late 2016, and Eric reached out to see if we needed his support with anything. Honestly, my wife and I would have never considered speaking with an attorney had Eric not reached out. This removed all of the stress of dealing with the insurance companies, and helped us considerably in terms of ensuring my wife was comfortable during recovery.

Hired Attorney Eric K. Washburn

“Mr. Washburn is an EXCELLENT attorney. On the recommendation of a friend, I called Eric in a time of need. Eric effectively communicated my options and the legal process that I was facing. He provided me with the pros/cons of each option that I had and outlined the other side’s case. Eric was always prepared and was never caught off guard during the process. He commanded a presence in the court room and with the other side. It was great to have him in my corner looking out for me and my family.

Hired Attorney Eric K. Washburn

Mr. Washburn was always available to me to address any questions or concerns I had about my personal injury matter. He would return phone calls promptly and, one time, he personally brought me the documents to sign at my work when I had an emergency come up at my office. This type of personal attention to clients is unheard of with other attorneys. Mr. Washburn was very knowledgeable and professional in representing my best interests. I highly recommend Mr. Washburn in any personal injury matter

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews
