G4kalemk
Eric is an incredible guy and a true professional. We had a family situation come up that required an attorney. Eric and his team provided the support and expertise in the area of criminal defense that was exactly what we needed. We were dealing with our teenage son who has special needs and the weight of an arrest and domestic assault charge that ensued following a 911 call that he had placed. Eric guided us through the Dakota County court process which ultimately led to the charges being dropped and an expungement of the arrest record. The outcome of our case could not have turned out any better thanks to Eric. I highly recommend him and his team.

Eric Anderson had been very helpful with my case. Easy to get ahold of, very personable.

Lexie was such a big help to me. Before reaching out to her I was so stressed and worried about everything. She reassured me that she would do everything she could to help me get the best outcome possible for my case. I will forever be grateful to her for all the time and effort she put into handling my case and for relieving so much of my stress.

Abigail

Nick
Eric made me feel relaxed throughout my case. He explained everything I needed to know and communicated with me in a timely manner. He's a great guy and in my opinion one of the best in Minnesota. He was there for me from the beginning to the end, explaining and breaking down the issues to the simplest. If I am to recommend someone for criminal defense, child abuse and juvenile cases, I'll recommend Eric Anderson of Anderson Defense in a heartbeat.

Matthew
Anderson defense did an awesome job with my case. The attorney attend the police interview held about 60 miles away from Twin Cities and provided me with legal aids. They responded quickly and accurately. I highly recommend them to all who have CPS issues.

Woojae
I have relied on Anderson Defense several times over the past 5-6 years. They have proven responsive, generous of time and talent, and (most importantly for me) relatable and non judgmental of circumstances that I have been in.

Roderic
Eric is a great lawyer along with his team. They were very good to me and helped me get out of the situation i was in which I was very happy with the results. He took on my criminal case and my cps case and it was well worth it. I was facing 4 level one felonies which resulted in probation and one misdemeanor. My cps case is officially closed and I now have full custody of my children. Eric is a good guy and is willing to work out a payment plan if need be. I can honestly say I’m very satisfied with everything he’s done for me and I’m glad I chose Eric to represent me. Thank you Eric and team, you guys were awesome and very professional!!!

Andrew
Lexi & Eric are some of the most knowledgeable attorneys I have come across ! They are ambitious to get you the results you need . Highly recommended .

cara
Eric Anderson and his team deserve this review, as it is my first reveiw I have ever done. I am so thankful for having him on my side during my unfortunate situation. Eric and his team worked very hard and answered every question I had, due to being scared and so unsure of what was happening. I wouldnt recommend anyone else for the job when it concerns cps and other issues. It worked out for our side and I am so greatful!!!

Alexandra
Phenomenal so far! Eric always calls, texts, and emails to keep me updated. He's very informative and good at what he does. So glad I found him.

I am so grateful too Anderson and Lexi for carrying me through this journey. I can recommend this company too anyone they will always be at your need

Theresa
Eric was knowledgeable on the details & content of my case, he kept me updated & asked questions. His response to the board was well written & answered each allegation in full detail, leaving nothing much to question. His thoroughness in his written responses drastically decreased the amount of questions asked by the board in my panel review hearing. They quickly came to a conclusion & dismissed/closed my case. If it wasn't for Eric, I probably would not have had such a positive outcome. I highly recommend him.

Lori
Eric knows what he's doing and helped guide me along the way. Very aggressive and had my best interest in mind. Highly recommend him to get anyone the best outcome in their criminal defense case.

Dave
Great patience, immediate responses, solid legal knowledge, very practical advices. The best help we can get.

Ming
Currently went through Anderson Defense for help and had Lexie Stein as my attorney. She was wonderful and helped keep my anxiety down and answered all my questions I had. She was very accommodating and helpful in my situation and helped get the best option I could get!

Brianna
When our family recently found ourselves facing an emergency that required legal representation, we reached out to Eric Anderson and Lexie Stein at Anderson Defense. From the start, Eric and Lexie were responsive, professional, and passionate about defending our rights and providing us inimitable legal representation.

Every step of the way, Eric provided us thoughtful, knowledgeable counsel and was very attuned to our lack of experience navigating the county system and even our emotional needs during a difficult time for our family. If you are looking for competent, professional attorneys who understand and can help you navigate complex legal situations, Eric and Lexie are the best choices. Thank you, Anderson Defense, for putting our family first.

Howard
I have had such a wonderful experience with Lexie at Anderson Defense! From the beginning of everything when I was initially charged she offered me so much comfort and reassurance. She is confident, competent and extremely knowledgeable in her craft. Lexie truly went above and beyond for me. Every small question I had for her, I was able to send her a simple text and she’d get right back to me with an answer. She pushed for dismissal of charges and was consistent with follow through. Ultimately my charges were dismissed and I am so so happy! WELL worth the money! Go with Anderson Defense!

Elizabeth
Eric is the most accessible attorney I've ever worked with.

JOHN
Incredibly knowledgeable and professional, would highly recommend.

Anna
It was a great privilege to have Eric as an attorney, he helped me during a difficult time with a few cases in a cost effective way. Eric is very knowledgeable, professional, prompt , and honest. Eric valued my opinions and reassured my doubts. He always kept me updated. I would definitely recommend him and his team. I can’t say enough good things about him and Lexi Stein. I was happy with the outcome, it was better than what I expected.

Choosing Anderson defense is the best investment you will ever make. Their knowledge and professionalism is outstanding. They provide you with their undivided attention making your case priority.

Areanna
Anderson defense helped me against dhs, if you are a nurse and need legal representation - choose Eric. He will fight your case w every angle. We won… dhs were wrongfully were trying to accuse me of maltreatment. I would choose Eric again, he knew every step and process snd knew how things would turn out. He was quick w replies and answered all of my questions and without making me feel weird. Very professional

teresa
I can not say enough great things about the Anderson Defense team. They listen, genuinely care, are professional, very responsive, and willing to be there for you in your time of need. I had a different lawyer to start with and when it became clear that her team was not equipped to handle my case, I researched around and found the Anderson Defense team. I was quickly relieved after the first conversation with Eric because he understood the situation and knew who the people on the other side were. They were able to find out more, what was really going on in one week, than my former attorney was able to gather in 4 months. Don't wait! Don't hesitate! Always choose the Anderson Defense team! Make sure your lawyers know all the players involved! It made all the difference for me and I know it will for you too.

Richard
Anderson Defense really came though for me and my family. I had some child protection issues and also some issues effecting my profession license and lets just say I was very impressed with the results. Eric is very good at what he does. I’ve called him on multiple occasions and he really has helped me and my family out. I wish I could give more than 5 stars because man does he deserve it. Kodos to the Andersen Defense team.

RawRaw
Anderson defense are very friendly workers and do their best to help in the situation they are trained in.

austin
Anderson Defense are the attorneys you want representing you. They are hard working attorneys who go above and beyond to make themselves available to their clients and Eric and Lexie really know what they’re doing. Absolutely 10/10 would recommend.

Clementine
The team at Anderson Defense, Eric Anderson and Lexie Stein, are second to none. Not only are they prepared, informed, responsive, effective, fearless, and dedicated, but they also do a great job ensuring their clients comfort and safety. I would recommend this firm to anyone for any legal needs. They are world class and their successful outcomes are evidence of that!

Stephen
I hired Eric later than I should have. My ex-wife got into some trouble and had a chips case opened on her. I was automatically included as a third party because I was a biological father and like an idiot did not hire an attorney, thinking I would be fine, as I didn't nor ever had I been in trouble. I ended up voluntarily signing a case plan which put me on conditions much like probation. Even though I had never been in trouble I was refrained from even having one drop of alcohol. I took at least 1 u.a. per week, sometimes more. Had multiple people from the county; u.a. guy, social worker, guardian ad litem, in home specialist etc. knocking on my door every week, all while trying to live my life, raise kids and work etc. After months I finally got sick of being put through the ringer. I hired an attorney and he didn't do anything to represent me, sat quietly and took my money. Finally I found eric, hired him, talked to him multiple times before court. First appearance by Mr. Anderson= case closed, jurisdiction over my freedom and life is expired. Even if you feel you shouldn't need an attorney, at least consult with one and when that time comes, Mr. Eric Anderson is your man! He is professional and very knowledgeable. I would definatly hire him again! Thanks again Eric!!

Jacob
The attorney that will never disappoint you, my experience with ANDERSON DEFENCE means the whole world world to me before the eyes of the Lord. They DID WON my disqualification case which I had lost hope, their charges too is reasonable, they answer your messages, phone calls and emails within a timely manner. The way they talk to you makes you feel you are in heaven. I had a first Attorney who was charging me $250 per hour and disappointed me the way I can't tell it all as he made me to have anxiety, emotionally unstable and lost hope in mylife BUT ANDERSON DEFENCE made me to see life during my dark moments and FINALLY THEY WON MY CASE. ANDERSON DEFENCE IS THE BEST QUALITY SERVICES I CAN RECOMMEND TO WHOEVER IS STUCK OUT HERE. THANKS THANKS A MILLION TIMES ANDERSON FOR YOUR WONDERFUL JOB .YOU'RE AWESOME ATTORNEY.

Ba
You get the best feeling from these people because they know the child protection laws better than most individuals that are not lawyers. They will give it to you straight forward step by step I was there many years ago and talk to the lawyers there at that office and now here I am I'm going to be going back

Richard
Best thing I ever did was hire Eric Anderson. I had 2 attorneys prior to him. Eric was very professional, aggressive, and knowledgeable. My case was a very complicated case because it was a child abuse misdiagnosis. He made me feel important and let the court know from day one that the county was not moving forward for reunification. Although the court was being biased, in trial they saw the truth and the TPR was dismissed stating that our due process was violated, the county was unfair and was selectively bias.
From day one, Eric started looking for evidence that would support my case. He would return my calls and/or text messages right away. He Stayed late getting the case together and talking to me before trial even if it was 11:00pm or midnight. He was and is the best attorney anyone can ever have. Eric Anderson was worth very single penny. I will definitely always recommend him. He’s awesome!!!

Sonia
Eric is a great attorney who has extensive knowledge about professional healthcare defense. Throughout the case process along the final hearing he maintained professionalism, honest and providing ongoing advice. Let Eric be your attorney to fight for your professional license and help you obtain the possible outcome.

Gabose
Eric was very attentive to detail and cared about my legal issues. Can’t recommend him enough!

Quid
I highly recommend Eric, he represented me above and beyond expectation. He makes you feel like heis really on your side in and out of the court room.

David
Eric is whip smart and awesome at what he does. He helped me navigate a stressful court situation with the cautious optimism I'd expect from a lawyer. He was responsive to the many questions I had during my case and felt well taken care of-I would highly recommend him!

K
I recently retained Mr. Anderson when my license was put into a temporary immediate suspension. Unfortunately I hired him three months later due to money issues, but if I would've known then what would happen, I would've retained him right away. Mr. Anderson always responded in a timely matter, made sure I understood what was going on and most importantly made me feel he was listening to my needs and concerns. In the end, Mr. Anderson made the process speed up, he was very knowledgeable with my concerns, and I recieved my license back. I would highly recommend retaining Mr. Eric Anderson for your legal needs.Sincerely Cori

Cori
Excellent attorney highly recommended I most definitely would hire again!

Brett
Thumps up👍 Lexie D Stein, for the exemplary services demonstrated in handling my domestic assault cases with professionalism and explicitly knowledgeable skills 🙏

David
Fantastic lawyers. Very friendly, personable, and effective. Very pleased

Adam
Attorney Anderson guided me through one of the most challenging situations I have ever endured.
Recognizing my unfamiliarity in the process my situation entailed, Eric was thorough, efficient, and honest in his communications.
The guidance and direct communication provided, made the extremely difficult circumstances much more manageable.
Eric's consistent aggressive yet poised approach helped in aiding a favorable outcome to my case. I couldn't be more grateful.

Molly
The team at Anderson Defense is knowledgeable, trustworthy and reliable. I trust them to best represent my interest and navigate the law in my favor.

Gabrielle
Eric and his team were extremely careful with our story, details and approach. Eric was passionate about making sure I felt ready for the hearing and all the events leading us to the hearing date. I was so determined to be SOLID and tell the truth of our story. Our family needed this decision to go our way, we stuck together and we were honest in exactly what happened. Eric was extremely supportive, he listened and he worked hard to achieve the outcome we had hoped for. It was a lengthy process, but he never lost sight of details and our case needed to be heard the way it was. I trusted Eric immediately and I knew this would be a battle against a whole department of employees, a organization of professionals that are supposed to keep vulnerable adults safe. I am appalled at the way we were treated, accused and made to feel that we had done something illegal. That was NOT the case, and Eric and his team helped us prove our case. WE WON and we are proud of his dedication to us, and the outcome. Thank you all sincerely, we are so grateful. Shelly

Shelly
We hired Anderson Defense to represent us on a family matter. Eric was very informative and reassuring at a time when we needed some answers. Eric is a quick study and we made progress right away. I would recommend him to anyone! By the way he is a really nice guy, and not like most attorneys you will meet.

Linda
Highly recommend Eric and his team if you're ever facing a maltreatment charge. He totally fought to prove my innocence. He was there to support and defend me again for a harassment accusation. Both times he and Lexie were dedicated to my cases and very professional.

Kelly
Updated ☆☆ 2-23-2020 Eric continues to guide my family when I have ANY question in my family Law case. Because of him and his knowledge- dedication- willingness to provide accurate information- loyalty to his clients I can say I have my family back and it's only getting better-day by day. Again you can NOT go wrong with him fighting for you and the laws . Thank you ! 10-2019...Eric is honest, straight forward and won't leave you hanging with the unknown and will follow through with what he says. He was a huge investment for my family .

Melissa
I must say Eric Anderson is the best lawyer you will find to help you in every way possible with your case! He went above and beyond with our case! From day one he made sure to listen to our concerns very carefully, answer any questions we had and do everything in his power to guide us through this difficult time. He was always available to answer any questions we had. He really looked into every detail with a close eye. Eric treated us like we were his number one priority and he was here for us all the time. Through out our entire case he worked very hard to make sure we had the best outcome. He worked all hours, answered our questions even on some late evenings and weekends and anytime we had a question or concern. He contacted every possible person he could to ensure each detail and person affecting our case knew what needed to be done. Even after he did an exceptional job with helping us win our case, giving back our livelihood and hope for the future, he stuck by our side to make sure everything was done correctly and that we are where we needed to be. He treated us like we were family! I must say Eric Anderson is by far the best lawyer you will find to help you with your case! I would recommend him to all my family and friends! Thank you Eric for everything!

Lexie Stein is a great lawyer! I found her through the DUI Directory (for something other than a DUI) and had no previous experience with her – nevertheless, she showed up the next day and gave me excellent legal advice at a very fair price. What is even better, was that the charges were all Dismissed! Furthermore, she noticed some discrepancies with the Prosecution and had them fixed so that I was not adversely effected by them in the future. I highly recommend her for your defense needs. Give her a call!

Paul
Eric and Lexie were wonderful to work with from start to finish. They are confident, professional, bright and very personable. I would recommend these two to anyone I could!

Molly
I highly recommend Anderson Defense! Eric was hard working and did a fantastic job with my criminal case. I was able to get a stay of adjudication with Eric representing me. I can’t thank him enough for what he has done. Awesome attorney and highly professional!

Dylan
Very helpful lawyer! Although he was the second lawyer on my case, he was very caring and diligent. He helped me with my child protection case. I feel like he deserves all the money in the world for what he did for me and my family. I am very grateful of him and would highly recommend him. The good thing about him he works from the heart. And brought my family back together as one. Thanks Eric!!! God bless.

Great lawyer! Great results! Thanks for your help!

Sarah
I would highly recommend them. Especially for a CHIPS case. My daughter went from being told to prepare to lose her kids with less than a 40% chance to keep them... to case closed within 3 months. They were quick to understand the case even though they came in toward the end. Our previous lawyer could not get a hearing for months into the future but Eric and Lexie were able to get us in front of the judge within 2 weeks of hiring them. They care about their clients. Worth the money.

Jean
Anderson Defense in Minneapolis Minnesota has been so great too me since the year of 2017!

Theresa
Eric is a brilliant lawyer and i owe him a great deal for helping me keep my professional license. He made an argument (in witting) on my behalf to the board review committee so compelling my hearing only took 10-15min and the case was dismissed. And oh, his service fee was only a fraction of what others had quoted me when i shopped around a bit before setting with him. Thank you and all the staff at Anderson defense!!!

Mike
Very professional and caring !

The team at Anderson defense are Amazing. They work at an impressive speed. (Seriously) Unfortunately for us, we needed Eric over memorial weekend, he got right on it! I'm so glad we hired him, even if it's just for peace of mind. Both Eric and Lexie were so kind to us, while I dealt with the worst situation I have ever been through. Eric listened, provided professional council, he is trustworthy, knowledgeable, and officially restored my faith in humanity. If I ever need a lawyer again, I'm calling Anderson Defense! Just skip the run-around, I can't recommend them enough.

Michael
From the moment my husband first called Lexie, we were greeted with professionalism and genuine concern, Eric and Lexie got to work right away on our case and sent an appeal the same day we hired them, even with Covid protocols and our different schedules, we were able to meet several times to discuss our case, when we met with Eric, we finally got some relief that we were no longer on our own trying to fight our battle, we had someone on our side to stand up for us and believe in us. He knew the right path to take on our case and was also able to help the Judge see our case in a new light, we are eternally grateful that our case was overturned. If you are looking for the best attorney’s and someone who will fight relentlessly for you, look no further than Anderson Defense. We highly recommend them!!

Eric is terrific. If you are looking for a a trustworthy and aggressive lawyer then hire him. I have used many lawyers in the past but Eric is by far the most ruthless. He is not afraid to speak his mind against opposing counsel and in court and his cross-examination skills are excellent. He is also very professional.

Lexie Stein has been extremely helpful. Very easy to talk to and understanding about my situation. I could not ask for a better attorney to help me through my hard times. Would recommend 10/10!

Clint
My family was attacked by my former wife! It was the worst feeling to know that a person can get away with making up stories and no one will stop them! When you are in need of help Eric and his team will come through for you! I would recommend Eric to anyone in need of leagal help, he is wonderful. My family is back in tact and we have Anderson defense to that for it.

Gary
I've never written a review but I felt Eric Anderson deserved to be recognized for being an amazing attorney who I'm forever grateful to! I was dealing with cps which is obviously terrible because you feel helpless as a parent and our kids we love the most Eric he understands that! If you want an attorney who will work hard at protecting those who matter most to you and fighting to keep your family a family then you definitely want Eric Anderson! I can never give him enough stars referrals or positive reviews for what he did and getting my cps case closed! Calling him was the best decision I made for my family! Thank you Anderson Defense and thank you Eric from my family and I we are forever grateful!

Amanda
Best thing I ever did was hire Eric Anderson. I had 2 attorneys prior to him. Eric was very professional, aggressive, and knowledgeable. My case was a very complicated case because it was a child abuse misdiagnosis. He made me feel important and let the court know from day one that the county was not moving forward for reunification. Although the court was being biased, in trial they saw the truth and the TPR was dismissed stating that our due process was violated, the county was unfair and was selectively bias. From day one, Eric started looking for evidence that would support my case. He would return my calls and/or text messages right away. He Stayed late getting the case together and talking to me before trial even if it was 11:00pm or midnight. He was and is the best attorney anyone can ever have. Eric Anderson was worth very single penny. I will definitely always recommend him. He’s awesome!!!

Sonia
Eric is a great attorney. Strong skill set, response was quick, while talking to him about my case he was very attentive and guided me in the right direction of the law. I would highly recommend him as an attorney in representation against the boards, his fees are very reasonable and the support he showed during the duration of the case was outstanding. Hard working and dedication describe Eric, thanks.

Tracy
They saved my kids from potentially being taken away from their mother.. The difference between them and our previous lawyer was tremendous!! If we would've stuck with our old lawyer, I truly believe that my newborn would not be snuggling with her mom right now. Expensive but well worth money! (Especially since a flat rate is probably much cheaper than others hourly anyways.) I would highly recommend them to anyone with a CHIPS case. Especially if you may be facing termination! My case went from literally them saying they were filing a petition to terminate my parental rights (which ended up never even happening) to my case being closed and me having my kids back within like 3 months. Thank you so much for everything!

Jessica
Eric is terrific. He does an amazing job of supporting their clients in tough times. If you want the best, he IS the best.

Andy
Laxie was an amazing lawyer she definitely made sure my voice was heard!

Constance
Had a great experience working with Lexie!

Alek
It is obvious Lexie and Eric are truly dedicated and care about what they do. I am incredibly grateful they helped me with my case. If I ever needed to, I wouldn't hesitate to work with them again.

Chelsea
Eric does a fantastic job! His specialized expertise, ability to listen and understand a complex situation quickly, excellent communication, and fierce advocacy are what sets him apart from others and exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend Eric and Anderson Defense to anyone needing effective, high quality representation.
