Erik was a great resource during a challenging time. He was responsive and took time to understand the details of my case. His legal advice was well informed and sound, often providing valuable insight into strategy and potential outcomes. He was also a calming presence when all the what if scenarios were consuming a lot of time and energy.

I would highly recommend working with Erik and Diana. They were a really valuable resource navigating this difficult process. I could not have made it through the divorce process without them. They went to bat for me and really paid attention to the details, especially during mediation. They are very professional and good with communication and organization. I would recommend contacting them if someone needs this type of legal help. They're great people who seemed to genuinely care about me and what I was going through.

My wife and I have known the Larsons professionally and personally for many years. The advice they provided us negotiating a contract was spot on. I would trust them to handle any employment law, family law, or consumer law matter. My wife is a lawyer and has referred several clients to their firm. All were highly satisfied.

I have known Erik for 35 years now and can confidently say he has always exhibited integrity, care and concern in all that he's done. Now, along with his wife Diana, those values are continued as they provide legal services in one of the most important areas of life which can be a very difficult journey to navigate when things don't work out as expected. Erik and Diana work diligently to make the path as easy as possible to navigate and take care of you every step of the way toward the best possible outcome.

I would completely trust Erik to handle my legal affairs in any area of specialty which he practices. I have known Erik since we were both students and fraternity brothers at Southwestern University in Georgetown. One summer, we were roommates as well. Erik is a trustworthy man of high integrity who takes his profession seriously.

It's been a pleasure working with the Lawson Law Office. Diana helped us negotiate our trust documents and drew up health directives for our daughter leaving for college. Will continue to give them my business. Professional and thorough.
