My husband and I have been clients of Attorney Eric Vernsten for quite some time now, and we are incredibly grateful for his skillful representation in a difficult, highly complex, and emotionally-charged family law case. Throughout this entire process, Attorney Vernsten has always been quick to respond to all of our questions and concerns. He is always upfront and transparent about his fees and other costs; this gave us certainty and peace of mind during a time when both were in short supply. Being very honest and a person of integrity, Attorney Versten always tells us what we need to hear, not necessarily what we want to hear. He is very good at laying out all of our options alongside the exact pros and cons of each decision that needs to be made. Some of the qualities that we appreciate most about Attorney Vernsten are that he truly listens, showing empathy and compassion, and he is fiercely protective of the children involved. At the same time, though, Attorney Vernsten is a formidable presence in court, especially in a trial situation. He is professional and very focused, with an excellent command of both law and procedure. It is obvious that Attorney Vernsten has the respect of not only his fellow attorneys, but the judges in front of whom he appears as well. We would highly recommend Attorney Vernsten to anyone needing the services of an attorney who is not only highly skilled and personable, but also holds himself to the highest standards of ethics and integrity, all while tirelessly advocating for his clients.

Eric represented my fiancé in an Order of Protection case, and he made the entire experience much less stressful. He was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about helping us. From the beginning, he understood the outcome we were hoping for and always had my fiancé's and our family's best interests at heart. His guidance, dedication, and support throughout the process gave us confidence during a very difficult time. We are truly grateful for everything he did and would highly recommend him to anyone in need of an attorney.
I received tremendous value from Eric. He was clear, responsive, and focused on the issues that actually mattered. He explained my options in plain language, helped me make informed decisions, and handled the work with care and professionalism. I would recommend him without hesitation, gave me great peace during a stressful situation and earned an incredible outcome.
I had a great experience working with Eric. I contacted him seeking legal advice and trial preparation rather than full courtroom representation. He was able to tailor his services to perfectly fit my needs, giving me true peace of mind for my case.
I cannot say enough great things about Eric Vernsten. He has truly made miracles happen for me. From the very beginning, Eric listened, understood exactly what I needed, and went above and beyond to make sure it got done. He is not only professional and knowledgeable, but also determined—when he says he’s going to get something done, he gets it done. Eric fights for you, cares about the outcome, and delivers results. He has exceeded my expectations every step of the way, and I’m so grateful to have had him on my side. If you need someone who is effective, trustworthy, and will actually get you what you ask for, Eric is the lawyer you want.
