Very poor lawyer. If i could go zero i would have. Unprepared....had an assistant drive to waterloo for our case. Loss the case when proven puryear in fact did have missing paperwork. Then tried to charge us 90 dollars an hour for assistant to drive to waterloo. We fought our own attorney and won. Lousy

Extremely personable and professional

This law firm offers free in office consultations and charges $50 for a phone consultation. Really? Anything to make an easy buck! I do not reside in Iowa but I have legal issues to resolve, pretty shocked when they requested $50 fee. CLICK! I'll find a free phone consultation elsewhere!

Expect to spend alot of money and receive very little results. This guy is the reason lawyers have a bad reputation. Take my advice and hire an attorney with a better reputation.

Great Attorney

This may be the most worthless, corrupt law firm in the Quad-Cities. They took me for about 12 grand in a simple share and share alike will in a case against my Aryan Nation brother. I'm the guy who was jailed without charge, tortured, for reporting Sex Crimes and Human Trafficking in BUSTOS District, where US Rep Cheri is married to the APPOINTED SHERIFF hubby. Eric Mail has a temper, is rude, the office staff is rude, he signs retainers and then does not honor them. WOW. I thought this was a GOP law firm but clearly they are working for the mob as far as I am concerned.

Personally, this is why I read reviews. The ratio of bad to good with these guys came in roughly 32:1. No wonder they have to sue people to get money out of them.
I ALWAYS read reviews before making a purchase or employing a service. Glad for all that got away from these guys with their necks, and to think I might have been foolish enough to contact these guys before checking into them....

DON'T WASTE YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY. I feel I did most of the work in my case for an outrageous price. The other reviews are NOT lying when they say you'll be robbed, in my opinion, I agree. I'd say, They don't care about their client, just the check because thats exsactly how Eric made me feel. Not personable to me at all, They all sounded like a bunch of robots, HEARTLESS AND GREEDY.

My husband went to Eric mail who tried to charge him $900 to resolve a driving with a suspended license ticket; and $2,700 if we were to go to trial... He didnt return our calls promptly, his firm is extremely unpersonable. Don't use this law firm!! They will take advantage of you and try to charge you as much as possible.

I worked at Puryear Law P.C. as a paralegal from July 2016 until February of 2017. During that time, I recommended that a friend of mine that needed legal services seek counsel at Puryear Law. I regret this decision so deeply. His experience as a client reflects the reasons why I chose to leave the firm. He has been very poorly represented and has paid a sum MUCH greater than his retainer amount. He began his journey with the firm when I was still an employee...it's been over a year and a half since I left.

If you read this post, I hope that your take-away is this: the lawyers at this firm are great at their job, but the owner of the firm is purely money-motivated. Take the free consultation they offer, they have great lawyers on staff with well-informed advice - do not pay any retainer amount, as the services that they perform are GUARANTEED to be more than that retainer amount...and in my opinion, that reflects a deep lack of respect for the client.

Set an appointment with him... he couldnt even find time to attend .... horrible, and very unproffesional ..

Great to work with! I didnt even have to say one word before I got my case dismissed.

I cant say enough , Eric puryear and his team have been put to the test and they have not run scared yet. They have honestly done more for me in days than what my EX attorney had done in a years time. I appreciate all they have done this far; my case is a handful to say the least.I
Thankyou , Samantha Bailey

After looking Puryear up online it is my opinion that he has more cases suing past clients then anything else. This guy saw I was part of an estate and I was getting some money so he basically stopped working on my issues and in turn sued me for defamation for a neg review I posted on here. Like I am sure they threatened all of you.Then he also saw my girlfriend had just won a law suit from a car accident and included her in his lawsuit stating she was a cosigner. I will say this guy does have the court on his side. After three days of trial and right before the jury was to rule he dismisses his lawsuit. What this does is keeps the jury from awarding you your attorney fees. Knowing that the court will not award them to you. I tried to use all the neg reviews posted on here as evidence but the court wrongfully would not allow them saying the reviews are hearsay. Yet I am sitting in the courtroom for being sued for a review the court just said was hearsay. After suing over 350 past clients this guy and the court has it down pretty good just to get you to waste more money. What a scam they have going on here. And to hear this guy talk about himself, I wasn't sure his head was gonna make it out the courtroom door. Seriously Stay clear of this Law Firm..

Hiring this firm was one of the most regettable decisions I have ever made. Wouldn't even know where to start. Uncaring, dishonest, rude, extremely greedy, terrible experience. Good luck to those who would use this attorney.

Back off these are guys are alligators.they don't know what they're doing i dont recommend anyone to them.If you are lucky you lose your case if not lucky you might get sued by them. ALT STOP AND TURN AROUND

Was nice and gave us a "veterans" discount... That's about all I can say nice about our experience with this guy. He drug his feet on issues we wanted handled immediately. He threatened to drop us as clients when I expressed displeasure with his communication and lack of urgency. Rude. Even with the discount we were over charged and talked down to. He's horrible to deal with. When the opposing side was in contempt of court, he did nothing! Frustrating. And did I mention rude? We were the customer. Aren't you supposed to do what they ask? And treat them with respect? You won't get that from Puryear.

Staff was very nice nd helpful

Very good lawyer

First I would like to say, I wished I would had read the reviews of this law firm before doing business with them. There are no interactions with your lawyer. Everything is done over their my case. Paid $1100 and the lawyer did absolutely nothing. Got me the same plea deal like a public defender would have.. they will charge you for everything. Stay away

I hired Eric Puryear to represent me against a corrupt DHS worker. I must say he was very prompt in returning any type of communication and he was fast! He got things done right away and he was very knowledgeable about DHS and explained why they do some of the messed up things they do and how to fight them and win. Now, I will say he is EXPENSIVE and he did get a bit confrontational when I asked about my bill to the office woman, however I believe that she may have exaggerated my tone because I was not rude, simply frustrated that I could not pull up my bill on my phone. Mr. Puryear gave me directions that worked and I was able to view bill. I always say that you get what you pay for, so yes, he's expensive but he does quality work. My case ended up being unfounded so I did not need any further service and he issues me a refund for the remaining retainer. I think the negative reviews about him billing for everything is unfair as whenever an attorney is hired, they do bill for everything including emails and such. I would seek out services again with this firm if I ever needed to for anything DHS or criminally related as he gets things done fast!! It was by far the best communication that I have ever had regarding correspondence with an attorney, which is very important to me when I hire an attorney to represent me.

The lawyer was knowledgeable, and professional.

Staff is very friendly

Four years of the gun rights restoration process and over $2000. in paid invoices, until I was late paying an invoice and was reminded that there are no exceptions... we no longer represent you.

Don't let this distract you from the fact that Hector is going to be running three Honda civics with spoon engines, and on top of that he just went into Harry's and ordered three T66 turbos with NOS... and a Motec system exhaust.

All I can say he is very rude and unprofessional! I’m giving the one star for his staff who have to put up with him! I had questions about my case in which I received a bill after my case was closed. He proceeded to say I was wasting his time and mine by questioning the issue...he then proceeded to say if I asked him anything further he would charge me! I never saw him. Very money hungry, rude, and unprofessional! What I was told would be a simple case cost me almost 3 grand! He made my already stressful experience worse by being a jerk! I will never use him or recommend him to anyone!

This firm are crooks, they prey on low income individuals with no voice, give them a price, make you sign a contract and then just keep billing you, when you say you want to fight it they say ago ahead we'll sue you for everything, you signed a contract. $600 for "phone tag" between attorneys nothing was even handled...I ended up handling the case myself. DO NOT TRUST THIS FIRM NO MATTER WHAT.

Very unprofessional and rude. Had this office hired for over a year. Eric never appeared at court like
I had hired him for, when it mattered the most at two different hearings he sent other attorneys with little background on my case. I spent thousands of dollars on this case with no resolve on my behalf and no care from my attorney. When questioning bills, got threats to sue me and drop my case. Received multiple rude and threatening messages and texts from Eric. Eric was unprofessional with a family member when they appeared at court on my behalf because I was out of town with the military and we had no communication as to whether we were to appear or not. My family tried to make a payment in the office on my behalf and got treated poorly and threatened to sue them if they reported the unprofessional negative treatment. Would not let them pay and kicked them out of the office. I will never recommend this office to anyone. If I could give ZERO stars, I would.

I would never go back to this place. They never kept me updated on the my custody case. I felt that my lawyer could have done alot more. He didnt do everything he could to help what was in my best interest as his client.

Absolutely horrible... My custody case ended up better when i represented myself

Well my fiancea hired eric and he disnt have no fight in him she begged him to fight for her and he wouldnt even do what ahe wanted even though we where already $5,000 paid to him and when she would send email to him there would be no answers to her question and he plain out had no heart and basicly to me we figure the puyear office just cares about the money she asked a question and he sent her a invoice for 125 but didn't answer her questions i would not recommend them to anyone thanks for having a place for us to review and its sad that lawerys care about cash instead of actually fighting for what u want

They took my money told me they would handle it for the cost stated to me... Shortly after started to receive bills online... When I told them I could no longer afford them tried to get me for many more hours they supposedly worked on my case. Yet attorney who came to court knew nothing on my case. Used questions I had written up asked none of her own... They did end up trying to sue me but judge seen thru there over priced B's and gave them little more then a smile... Moral of story don't trust em and keep your receipts cause they tried to get thousands I proved was already paid!

I had absolutely no issue with them. They did a great job on my husband's case. Answered any questions we had and were very professional and good at their jobs. Will be using for future attorney needs.

Was more or less pressured to make an in person consultation, rather than a phone one. (Over an hour drive for me)
Made a 9am appointment.
They didn't seem to be expecting me in the least.
The sheet they gave me to give information about myself was all about my income. (And spouse's income, and SSN).
Also, there is a cat in the office. Aside from the cat, the waiting area wasn't very clean or "professional".
A lawyer was walking in when I was walking out, so they are not punctual.
Anything that says "professional" is probably a fake review.
Receptionist blows smoke (aka bs) when you ask good questions.
Avoid this place.

Eric Mail was personable and professional. Very responsive and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend.

Very unprofessional and unpersonal! They overcharge and will not help your case!! Attorney that was signed to my case acted very nervous in court, had to be told by the judge to speak up multiple times and never had a plan before going into a court date. If you have any questions about what they are charging you, they will not sit down and talk about it. HUGE WASTE OF MONEY AND TIME! ASKED ATTORNEY TO LEAVE A MEETING, SHE WOULD NOT LEAVE AND STILL CHARGED ME FOR THE TIME!

Had a terrible experience with these guys. They threaten to sue if I left a negative review.

Eric and his staff are amazing. They have helped me through my case in a professional manner and really been a great support system for me. I couldn't be happier or more satisfied with the work that he has done for me and my family. I would recommend him and his law firm to everyone. He is very affordable and reliable. Thank you Eric P and Staff.

Terrible terrible law firm save your money for someone more equiped to handle your case. You will feel robbed if you give these people a dime of your hard earned cash.
