Hiring Erik as my divorce attorney was the best decision I made for my divorce. As a cardiologist, my mindset was that I must protect what is mine and fight to win. I initially hired the most expensive high end attorney and law firm in Tacoma, and it was a disaster. I successfully wasted money, probably close to $50,000 to $100,000 and got no where. My ex-wife hired a sleaze ball attorney that would do anything to drain more lawyers fees out of me to pay his fee. While my first attorney didnt do anything unethical, but he was unable to manage my case in a manner that would be in my best interest long term. He was also impossible to reach, and I felt like my case was not a priority. When I asked to mediate, he came up with reasons not to give up. Finally, and most importantly, he could not provide an accurate forecast of how my divorce was going to go. My divorce was an expensive mess and the best thing that happened to me is my attorney fired me. Lets just say I let him know how unhappy I was with the amount I was spending.So I hired Erik, solo attorney, no big law firm. I just wanted out of my divorce. Erik was not only significantly less expensive than my previous attorney, but he was more experienced and consciences about the particulars of my case. He spent a significant amount of time (which he did NOT bill) to explain why my divorce put me at risk longterm and that I needed to settle and mediate. Erik was able to provide a forecast of My divorce and it was spot on. He cleaned up my case. He got me out of contempt (another screw up from my first attorney), provided expert personal guidance, and negotiated a settlement in my favor (well relative favor) with my ex-wifes sleaze ball attorney to get me divorced quickly. Erik isnt flashy and doesnt have a website with a bunch of Pizazz. He isnt trying to please his buddies or court judges during trial. He is to the point, honest, get the job done the way it should be in the clients best interest. No BS. This is how it is, this is what we want to avoid for your case, lets get you divorced and on with your life.I never want to get divorced again and I dont wish it upon anyone, but if you are a soon to be ex-husband, go with Erik.

I absolutely must, have to recommend Attorney Erik to you or to any one who is dealing with the divorce. I know and understand how painful, stressful, and ugly the divorce process can be, especially when assets and children involved. I was there. Erik has a great work ethic. He cares a great deal about his clients. He has a very calm and caring demeanor and he gets directly to the point.He definitely is the person who not only will walk you through every step, but will also help to take away your stress and lead you to a better and brighter quality life after your dissolution.

I will not recommend Eric. Eric took my case almost as if he knew that he had a good record with reviews. My reason of why I do not recommend him are the following. Money: every lawyer seems to just want the money to take your case instead of giving you a good assessment of the case.Knowledge: Eric took my money on my case, not knowing the current changes on military retirement and spousal entitlements. Plainly and simply complained to me about fighting for me. His sentiment almost seem as if he was fighting for the ex spouse. He made me do work on the timeline in which I was in the army with changes to my pay, which I did because he seemed incompetent. After I did that work, he still failed at resourcing the information necessary to fight my case.Ultimately, the apparent judgement was lame, Eric did not fight and will always come back to you stating that 'it is fair to do'. Not ' I will fight for you'. I would take my chances with anyone else who has better resources in the subject. Eric needs to brush up on the current changes to the subject of Military divorce and retirement entitlements to the spouse. He needs to brush up on the timelines and pay and how it effects the outcomes. He needs to brush up on the verbiage accepted by the DFAS. My opinion, is that fellow soldiers spend alot of time deployed and away from home to fight for the country, at the end you pay out on a spouse that under washington state courts, they have a right to have a relationship if your married and deployed. Hire a lawyer that opposes that view.

I find Erik to be passionate about his line of work as an attorney. He is both very experienced with the law and the procedures involved in this process. I find that he works relentlessly to find solutions to problems sets that range from simple to the most complex. He is level headed in even the most emotional of cases and works to bring results and peace of mind during the process.The value add of experience only adds to his vast knowledge of the law.

Mr. Bjornson took on my custody/divorce case with knowledge and professionalism. He made sure I understood my options and odds throughout the whole process. All fees and charges were clear and itemized. I feel that he represented me very well, and I cannot explain how happy I am with the outcome. I still use Erik to this day for a myriad of issues and questions.

Mr. Bjornson has helped numerous clients including a variety of ethnicities and built a great reputation in his profession and communities.What differentiates Mr. Bjornson from a lot of other attorneys is that he is very knowledgeable, intelligent, calm, tactful, and highly skilled. He has this ability to think far ahead for his clients and strategically prepares legal documents, court hearings and trials. He cares about his clients best interests and works hard to get the best outcome possible.His legal service is exceptional and has much higher value than some big law firms that may let incompetent attorneys to work on your case but charge you a premium rate.No one likes to face legal challenges in life. But if you are in a critical situation you definitely want to hire a competent and skilled attorney. Per my own experience an incompetent one will cause more headaches later on and cost thousands to fix afterwards.I highly recommend Mr. Bjornson as a family law attorney. He is a trustworthy and sincere individual who also has integrity and proven professional skills. You would get undivided attention to your case and carefully planned strategies to protect and help you in every legal step.

Just had him for my divorce trial. Thanks to Erik I have lost my daughter visitation rights, lost tons of money in the trial, and ended paying him tons of money as well! I think I might have been better without a lawyer!

Erik Bjornson is a most unusual man; an attorney dedicated to making the lives of others pleasant. Those who seek the counsel of Erik Bjornsen find the angst of divorce and other legal matters settled with minimum discontent and the least financial cost.This kindness and personal consideration is rare among attorneys. But Erik Bjornsen has a big and generous heart; he is focused and determined to help his clients reach their desired goals. It is time, in our world for a new class of attorneys, those dedicated to serving our needs while allowing us to heal and reach contentment. They must be more than lawyers, they must be our advocates, our counselors and friends. Erik Bjornson is that attorney.

I have worked with Mr. Bjornson for the past year and a half and have found him to be extremely knowledgeable and experienced. He has been practicing for a long time and has tons of courtroom experience. I would recommend him highly if you are looking for someone to represent you.

Bjornson took $500 of my money to copy and paste my name into a letter to the court that was from a different case, then sent in another attorney to represent me who knew nothing about my case. He claims to have knowledge and skills to better represent military personnel. The reality is that he has figured out that it's really hard for military personnel to sue him for malpractice. Stay away. The guy is not a good lawyer, he doesn't give a damn about military personnel, and his ethics are reprehensible. The positive reviews you see are probably fake.

Attorney Erik Bjornson provides agressive and quality representation for any family law case. He is especially gifted at representing members of the military and has years of experience. I have often turned to him when I have strategic or technical questions. I have absolute confidence that Erik Bjornson will provide quality representation for your divorce or child custody case.
