My attorney of 20+ years retired a few years ago and I was concerned I would not be able to find someone as wonderfully skilled and thorough as my previous lawyer. I was wrong. Mr. Black and Ms. Talbot both stepped up and handled my legal matters like I’d worked with them for years. The process was efficient, their advice was thorough, and their communication was easy to understand. Also, both were consummate professionals from start to finish. I highly recommend them both.
Erik Black has represented our company's business (construction) for nearly 20 years and has also handled my family's trust and other personal matters. I have found him to be very efficient, knowledgeable and effective in every regard. He has also shown consideration in his billing practices and advisement of what "battles are worth fighting".

I'm surprised to see the other two reviews. We had a very good experience working with Mr. Black. He was professional, hard working, and kind in all of our interactions, and we would certainly work with him again.
