  After my consultation with Attorney Eric Symonds, I realized what an outstanding law offices he has here in Lancaster. He was very patient and answered every question that I had. He told me what was difficult to hear, but was the truth. I recommend his service!

  Please read the reviews about Mr. Symonds before hiring him to represent you. He will divert most questions you ask him with rambling and unnecessary metaphors to come across as he is very “experienced” but ultimately lacks knowledge that can be detrimental to representing you. The statements that he makes during consultations will ultimately be forgotten (2 separate consultations from 2 cases). When bringing up concerns about not being represented as previously stated; snarky comments and insulting comments are made to the point where I got up from his office and demanded him to be removed as my counsel immediately. A perfect example of this are his responses to bad reviews. Not apologizing for mistakes but instead “I’m sorry you feel this way”, “things are being twisted and are not true.” I was represented by Eric for approximately a year and a half. Initially he stated that it wouldn’t be more than 3 months and a couple court dates till I would be able to get visitation with my daughter, which at that point I would no longer need representation and would be given the remaining amount of the retainer. Well 5k later, 1.5 years and 7 court dates (maybe more) we had gotten no where with only having 45m conjoined therapy and monitored visits 2 times a month (which during the consultation he claimed would never happen and wouldn’t be necessary). Mind you I work for a school district and have two step children I care for frequently. The supervisor for monitored visits stated that she has never seen this happen in 20 years and was dumbfounded if the situation and didn’t understand how it went this way. When I told Eric this he got super angry and defensive and started bashing her for giving her opinion, stating she is not a lawyer and can’t give legal advise (not legal advice lol!). I should have hired her as a lawyer as she has a better understanding of family law than Eric claims. Finally, I would stray away from this man, his temper, lack of knowledge, forgetfulness, no communication, no transparency, will roll over and will not fight for you, drain your retainer, very unorganized and careless, will not follow through with what he says, the list can go on just read his reviews. Hopefully, with all the other clients he’s had that were treated poorly, others can save some money and time by seeking out other representation.
