Eric Sunness is not only an amazing lawyer, but also a great person. His knowledge of law combined with his ability to connect with others (clients, prosecutors, judges etc.) will give you the best chance at winning your case. He helped me get the best outcome possible for my case and was there for me as a client throughout the entire process. Highly recommend his services!

Eric fought all he could for me and recommended me to a second lawyer in order to achieve the results I needed. Overall, he is a nice and fair person to talk to and represent you. I’d recommend him to other students as well.

We hired Eric Sunness to represent our son who had a traffic incident with the police which could have resulted in jail time and loss of his license. Eric managed to have his original charges dismissed with probation and a 3 point traffic violation. Hiring Eric was the best decision we made and we highly recommend him.

I hired Eric for a DWAI recently and I am extremely glad that I did. I've dealt with a number of attorneys in my life (not proud of it, just stating the facts). My experience with Eric was by far the best and that's not just because of the outcome. He was very thorough from the start as we looked at all the angles of the case, he was great at answering my questions and always got back to me in a timely manner (which I can promise you is not always the case with every attorney). Tammy (legal assistant) was always friendly to talk to as well. They are an amazing team and I would highly recommend at least meeting with Eric before you decide on an attorney to handle your case.

My case was ultimately dismissed which saved my career as a CDL driver. Thank you again Eric and Tammy!

Eric is a fantastic lawyer and I would highly recommend him for anyone needing legal council. From the first day I met him it was clear to see that he was very knowledgeable and would be a great asset through the proceedings. He made sure that I was always aware of the upcoming steps and our position if the case went to trail. Luckily, he was able to negotiate a deal with the DA that was much better than what they had originally offered. I'm very happy that the situation is over and would consider Eric a personal friend.

Attorney Eric Sunness gave me my freedom back, the way it always was and was suppose to be like. I was accused of the most life changing, detrimental crime possible - and may I say, the most common crime men are accused of in 2018 - sexual assault. I searched around and talked to 3 other attorney's that have expertise in this case type. Some had experience. Some were younger. Some made you feel good. BUT, with Attorney Eric Sunness, he had it all. His pre-filling fees are higher than others because he has EXTENSIVE experience in this case type and others by many years and he has all deescalated the case to nothing (like my case - or a very meaningless misdemeanor - but more have lead to nothing being filed. When you talk to him, you genuinely feel like you are talking to your dad or mom - someone that will battle for you with utter devotion until things get proven your way. Attorney Eric Sunness was the only one out of other attorney's that during the initial consultation, he gave me instructions of what documents, testimony letters, reference letters, etc, would be of help (all before retaining him as my official lawyer). THAT shows he really cares. The other attorney's wanted to be retained first before giving tangible, literal, legal recommendations to help you. THAT made me go with him. I could have chose not to go with him, but he was the most knowledgeable right off the bat. ALSO, the most important reason I went with him was because he gives you that gut feeling you will be okay in his hands. And look, my case ended at the PRE-FILLING stage. The District Attorney decided NOT to file charges against me. Throughout my time with him, he even went to a conference in Las Vegas to sharpen up his knowledge of the most recent outcomes and proceedings regarding my case type. That's going above and beyond. ***HE HAS A CLOSE WORKING PROFESSIONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY.*** He mentioned that from the get-go. That will serve very, very, beneficial for you because they know Mr. Attorney Eric Sunness and they know that he's been in the business for a long time and they know how good of an attorney he is. With my previous fact stated above, along with all the documents, testimony and reference letters that we got, ALL contributed to proving my innocence in such a BIAS case like mine in 2018. He is RESPONSIVE to your concerns. He updates you. He even gives you his personal cell phone number in case you can not get a hold of his office because he is so busy. When you are in his presence, his voice, his way of handling your case, your anxiety leaves you and with time, you become more and more grounded and hopeful that things will work out in your favor. My case seemed like there was no hope. The way he handled it granted me my freedom and saved me MONTHS of hardship, thousands of dollars in attorney and legal fees, and other complications in my life. IN ALL, Attorney Eric Sunness has the experience, the reputation among other attorneys in the area, respect and working professional relationships with people such as the district attorney, and this great way of making you feel he will be like a father when taking care of your case. I hope to NEVER have to be in a situation where I have to refer my friends or family to him, but IF that day comes, I can trust Attorney Eric Sunness that he will defend anyone to his highest devotion and knowledge to grant you the result you want - your innocence and freedom. GOD BLESS, Attorney Eric Sunness. Please - feel at peace and assured he will be an attorney for you in your matters. Lastly - I wish you the best to whom ever is reading this, may everything work out for you.

Kept it clean, simple, and swift. I was very fortunate to have had your firm represent me. Successful case overall, no conviction.

Thank you Eric!

Eric was awesome, so professional and kept me informed every step of the way. He really made me feel that he was fighting for me. Would highly recommend for anyone.

Eric did a great job helping me with my case. From our initial consultation, I felt that Eric would be the best choice for me. I talked with two other attorneys and Eric seem to be the must welling to help. After hiring him on a Thursday and on the morning of Monday my charges were dismissed. I was amazed!! I would highly recommend him to anyone with a run in with the law. He is highly knowledgeable and trust worthy attorney. Thank you for all your help!

I retained Mr Sunness on some outstanding charges out of Larimer County. I am from out of state and did my research online before I called. From the initial consultation, I knew I made the right choice. He treated me with respect and throughout the whole conversation kept saying he would "fight for me." And he did just that. His secretary Tammy was very pleasant and prompt on emails and returning my calls as well. After receiving discovery, he advised me and we took a stand against the charges. He kept his word and fought for me. And in the end, got the charges dismissed! I was AMAZED with the outcome. He is worth EVERY PENNY, and I never once worried throughout the whole process. I was in good hands. If you are in a bind and need legal representation, Eric Sunnes is your man, hands down. Thanks Eric and Tammy

Amazing attorney! He takes personal care in each case and truly takes time to listen to ease any concerns. He's very honest, not only as a person, but as your lawyer. He'll tell you (though is required to explain worst cases) exactly how he feels your case will play out considering all factors and even which judge is assigned. Honesty is key. Thank you for all your help Eric!

Mr. Sunness has gone above and beyond what was even expected! I highly recommend him as an attorney. He is by far the man I would want to represent me should the need ever arise in the future. He definitely gets an 11 out of 10 in my book

I could not be happier with the services I received from Eric Sunness. He was extremely curtious, professional, competent, and experienced. Mr.Sunness was always very responsive to my emails and phone calls. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of a lawyer.

When you need legal help, you’d want an attorney who is compassionate and genuinely concerned about your case. You’d want an attorney who knows the law, whom has the experience of being in the courtroom every day on his client’s behalf, and promptly offers his time and help to begin working on your case as soon as possible. From my personal experience, Eric Sunness was that very help I needed. Within an hour of emailing his office about my case Eric personally called me over the phone to talk with me regarding my circumstances. When I first met him in person, Mr. Sunness generously took time to learn more about my case and spoke to me with kindness and gentleness. Eric offered me a very fair retainer and earned it well as he worked hard on my behalf. He was able to negotiate the best possible plea-deal with the DA and even reduced my charge! I was honestly surprised with how favoring the outcome was of which he worked out for me. I would strongly urge anybody who needs a hard-working lawyer to prioritize the needs of his clients to consider Eric Sunness as their attorney.

What an amazing attorney. Mr. Sunness helped me feel calm when I was worried about going to court. He also got me the result I wanted and needed. My issue is completely resolved now and I truly feel that I can move forward with my life in a positive way because of the help that Mr. Sunness provided by being my attorney. If you are in trouble, you NEED him. He knows absolutely everyone and is highly respected. He can help you. I recommend him 100%

Not only does he care about his clients, he does the job without error. Mr. Sunness made me feel comfortable and safe. Even his legal assistant was one of the kindest people I have ever met. A strong legal team, with the kindness and compassion every human being deserves. I am grateful he called me back and took my case.

Great attorney he answered all my questions, all my emails, all my calls helping me out 2 cases. A wonderful pleasant person the best!

I was arrested for a DUI + two smaller charges and was completely in shock as to what to do until I reached out to Eric Sunness. Immediately after first meeting with him we connected and I knew I could trust him and that he would be reliable in guiding me and fighting for me the whole way through this experience.

It was clear that he had the knowledge of the law, work ethic, and strategic approach to tackle this at the right angle to plead my case and get the best result possible.

After being given the option of a differed sentence and a DWAI (which many lawyers would say to take that), he advised that we should not, and that he was confident he could get a better result.

After just two visits to the court he was able to get all of my charges completely dropped and thrown out! He answered all my questions no matter how large or small, and made me feel confident the whole way through as well as following the case. Every aspect of this case was handled in a professional matter and I could not have asked for a better representative to be on my side. 5 STARS!

Mr. Sunness and his team provided my daughter with top notch representation! Extremely knowledgeable and honest. His approach, experience, and long time relationships with the DA's office provided a very desirable outcome for my daughters case.

Awesome attorney, very pleased with the services he provided! Could not have expected a better outcome!

Eric is a fantastic lawyer. He guided me through a very difficult case that was made harder by an interstate travel compact (I now live on the East Coast). Like many people, my run in with legal trouble had me shaken with crippling anxiety and depression. Upon my first consultation with Eric I felt like a 100 ton boulder had been lifted off me. Very easy to talk to and cares about your needs. I had so many questions about the process and Eric would respond to each and every one of them in a timely manner. It felt great having him on my side. He helped lessen my charge and I am very thankful to him. I would recommend his services to anyone who finds themselves in a bit of legal trouble.

Jay is great with my puppies.

Mr. Sunness is a respected lawyer and wonderful person. I am so grateful to have had him representing me and can't thank him enough for being by my side through a very difficult process. Mr. Sunness is knowledgeable and cordial. I'm impressed with the way he handled my case and beyond relieved with the outcome.

Eric is an amazing lawyer. He got me the best deal i could've had. Considering all the evidence in my case. Eric really does care about his client's. I would definitely recommended Eric Sunness.

Eric is an amazing person to have on your side in times need. He is honest and hard working as well as a great attorney. He helped me out of a tough situation. Eric was there when i needed him the most. I would highly recommend him to anyone in a spot of trouble with the law needing a highly skilled attorney with integrity. Thanks again Eric!

I was arrested at a Halloween party at MY house. I was charged for noise, obstructing a police officer and resisting arrest. So I hired Mr. Sunness. Because I have no record and the video evidence showed the last two charges were objectively false, my case was likely simpler and had less potential consequences than most of his cases. I feel that because of this Mr. Sunness spent an inadequate amount of time learning the facts and preparing for the case - ESPECIALLY given the fee I paid.

I have three major complaints with how he handled my case. 1) He didn’t make any effort to meet with me to prepare for the case or to thoroughly discuss the plea deal; 2) He didn’t seek out all available evidence, and 3) I believe he provided me with false legal information. I discuss each below.

1) Mr. Sunness was not responsive to questions and requests to meet. He did not respond to either of two emails I sent him requesting a sit-down meeting. After no response, I had to call and schedule a meeting the day before the disposition. The meeting ended up being brief and not exhaustive. On the day of my disposition Mr. Sunness had two other cases in the same time slot. He requested I get there a half hour early – I did. While discussing the plea bargain he was clearly agitated saying “you ask so many questions” and stated that he had two more plea bargains to present to clients prior to the hearing. He had scheduled all three plea bargain discussions for the half hour prior to court!

2) During his initial meeting with me he stated that he would obtain a copy of the noise complaint that made the police come to my door. When the complaint wasn't included in the evidence provided he did not follow up to obtain it. The party at my house was a grad-student party which everyone road bikes to. It was not unruly. When standing outside the front door with the cops it could not be heard. Because of his failure to obtain record of any complaint, to this day I am not sure that the police received one - or if the 'Neighborhood Enforcement Team' officers who showed up
only saw flashing lights in the windows and came to shut it down (illegal).

3) I believe Mr. Eric Sunness provided me with false information in the meeting immediately preceding me signing a plea bargain. The night of the incident I had a calm conversation with the police which ended with them stating they saw no reason to charge me for excessive noise and they appeared ready to leave – when they asked me for my driver’s license. I was wearing a costume and did not have it on me. They asked me to go search my house and I declined (they said I wasn’t being charged and they appeared to be leaving, so why go get it?). I was arrested for not producing a driver’s license. When I stated to Eric that I didn’t feel the police were justified in arresting me for this he told me sternly that I was obligated to provide ID to them by CO law. I was taken aback by his tone and seriousness and being from out of state did not question that statement.

The law however is different. Since it was not a traffic stop I was not obligated to do anything more than verbally state my name and address, which I had already done (on video). Because the sole reason I was arrested was for not retrieving an ID, I believe that Mr. Sunness missed a reason to get the whole case dismissed and possibly to bring a case against the police officers.

To conclude, I do not feel that Mr. Sunness even considered if there was a legal basis for my arrest and subsequent 13 hour detention. Instead he sought a fast plea bargain on the case, because he had too many cases. He then misguided me into accepting that plea.

I picked Mr. Sunness because of the good reviews online (best in town!), that’s why I felt I had to share my story. The Fort Collins Police force is horrible to deal with for any reason. If you or a loved one must answer to their trumped-up charges (or any charges for that matter) in court look elsewhere for thorough legal representation.

Eric A. Sunness far exceeded my expectations in regards to my case. Great man to work with in a serious time of need at a very fair price. Highly recommend!

Very happy with Mr. Sunness.
He did what he said, no b.s.
Better then expected results.

Eric Sunness represented me in a harassment charge that I was wrongfully charged with. From day 1, he treated me like his own daughter and treated my parents with great respect. He was calm, respectful, diligent, reputable and supportive throughout the whole process. He assured me of each next step and was completely honest about the likelihood of my case dismissal. He clearly laid out all the facts--pros and cons. Ultimately Eric was able to dismiss my case after in-depth back and forth dialogue with the DA. The court system is even more strict these days! His years of experience and authenticity towards me and my family during this difficult time is priceless. You want Eric to defend you!
He is a noteworthy lawyer who will fight to get you the best scenario possible. Thank you Eric for your transparency, patience and hard work!

Without going into details, he represented myself on 4 cases, most or all at the same time. I could not have asked for any better results with anyone else, or any amount. Eric and Tammy are the best people in the business for your interest. Any other choice other than Eric is a gamble even gamblers don't take!

As a freshman at in college, Eric helped keep me calm and helped resolve my legal issues and actually got the cases sealed. Eric is a great person and possibly a better lawyer

Thank you for helping our son - your expertise and advise and services are greatly appreciated.
Mark and Cathy Miller

I needed a defense attorney for a family member and I didn't know where to start. I felt overwhelmed, never having dealt with a legal situation before. I chose Eric from a google search, and I'm so glad I did! He treated me and my family member with respect and kindness. He was able to resolve the case more quickly than expected and at half his originally quoted fee! I highly recommend him as someone that you can trust to walk you through difficult circumstances.

Eric was one of the best amd most kind lawyers ever. He took my case and reassured me that everything would go correctly. Also Eric always makes sure to keep in contact and updates you. I am glad and very fortunate to have found him. If you habe any legal issues call him. The best and always very friendly.

I retained Eric Sunness and together we decided to take my case to trial. Due to Mr. Sunness' expert preparation the case was dismissed prior to the trial. I highly recommend Mr. Sunness' legal representation- he knows the law, puts a great deal of effort into his cases and is very pleasant and professional.

I am writing this review on behalf of my brother. My brother got tangled up in a mess and I was able to call Eric. He showed up at my brothers hearing having never met me and did an amazing job of getting a bond set and my brother released within a couple of hours. Had it not been for Eric bond would have been 5x's higher than it was. In addition within 6 weeks of the charges being filed Eric had all charges dismissed and the case sealed. Eric is amazing and is the reason my brother can now sleep at night and helped out entire family. I truly do not know what we would have done without him. He knows the law and does not rattle easy; he is smart, responsive and works hard. Eric is who you want on your side should you ever find yourself on the wrong side of the law. My brother was facing a felony charge that could have resulted in 6+ years’ incarceration. I would not hesitate to recommend Eric to anyone!

Eric was nothing short of an exceptional lawyer. He was thurough and professional throughout the entire process. I never doubted that Eric genuinely cared about me and my circumstance, and that was shown through his prompt actions. Whenever I had a question about my case I could just shoot him a quick E-mail and he would get back to me within an hour or two. Not only is Eric a great lawyer, but a great person. Conversing with him in our meetings was always enjoyable. Not only did he want to give me the best representation I could find, but he wanted to get to know me as a person, which I don't think most lawyers would do. I would %100 recommend Eric to anyone in need of legal representation.

Eric brings experience, confidence, and knowledge to the table in addition to having a caring attitude. He displays excellent rapport with other professionals in the legal system. He and his secretary were fantastic to deal with!

It is apparent to us that Mr. Sunness cares deeply about his clients and we know he went above and beyond what is customary on our behalf. Not only did he carefully and thoroughly represent us, but he also spent the time to really understand the situation.

We know that this wasn't his most important case by any stretch, but to us, he treated it as one. Many thanks!

Eric Sunness hands down is the best attorney I have ever worked with. In my unfortunate event (DUI) he re-assured me time and time again that he would do everything in his power to help me and even though we could not get the case dropped he lowered the penalties considerably.

We all make mistakes in life and if you're a young someone like me who just wants to put the event behind you as quickly as possible I highly recommend Eric Sunness as your Fort Collins DUI Lawyer.

Mr. Sunness is an amazing lawyer, and more importantly, a good person. He helped me through a case at the beginning of the summer and managed to get the charge reduced despite dealing with a very difficult D.A., Mr. Sunness helped me through a difficult time and I will always be grateful. I would highly recommend him as an attorney.

He cares, is intelligent, and knows the law like the back of his hand. Hiring him as your representation is a solid choice.

A family member of mine was being charged with Vehicular Homicide for an accident that occurred just outside of Fort Collins. The DA and Police filed charges before all the "tox screens" had come in and were very aggressive in their approach to my family member. Eric Sunness asked for a retainer higher than all of the other lawyers I talked to, but I soon realized it was for very good reason. Once Mr. Sunness stepped into the picture the treatment of my family member changed dramatically. Rather than being kept in a cell with 5 broken ribs and no pain medication after a vehicle rollover by callous Larimer Detention Center staff, he was released without bail where he could recover without the presence of cruel and unusual conditions. After Eric consulted with his broad range of professionals a case was built that ended with a plea agreement of 90 days of jail time and 2 years probation - Down from up to 31 years jail time, and up to 10 years probation. Eric A. Sunness is the lawyer your looking for if your in a bind and you have money to spend on the best there is in the area. Thank you for your services Mr. Sunness! Money well spent!

Thank goodness for Eric Sunness. I am the mother of a college student in Fort Collins. I live in another state and when my daughter decided to make some poor decisions I reached out to Eric Sunness for help. He was more than an attorney to my daughter. With his guidance he was able to assist her through the court system. All in all, she went away a lucky girl. I am positive that would not have occurred if she had to go through the process alone. After the second alcohol charge as a minor, Eric made sure that her probation from the first occurrence(DUI) was not revoked. Do yourself a favor and call Eric if your kids end up in some trouble whether they are away from home or local. It was a huge peace of mind for myself. A weight was lifted after the first phone call; As soon as I spoke to his legal assistant, who by the way, is extremely helpful herself. Thank you Eric & Tammy!

I am very pleased with the outcome of my case. I was charged with a class IV Felony for theft. I was facing two to six years in prision and three years of mandatory parole. Mr. Sunness was able to get me an unsupervised deferred sentence for one year with no jail time, no supervised probation and no useful public service. He really came through for me. He was very knowledgeable and listened to my concerns and fears. I recommend him highly and suggest that anyone who is facing jail time contact him.
