Eric S. Hartman is a southern California attorney with several decades of experience and offices conveniently located in Huntington Beach, formerly in Long Beach, serving coastal communities. Mr. Hartman places an emphasis on personally meeting with clients and honestly analyzing their legal needs and objectives. He has earned the highest peer rating available from the Martindale-Hubbell lawyer rating service based on competency and ethics. Having practiced in most areas of civil law, Mr. Hartman's current law practice emphasizes (1) business law, from start-ups to well established local and national busiinesses, including business transactional and business litigation matters; (2) estate planning, including durable powers of attorney, advance health care directives, wills and trusts, and asset protection; (3) probate; (4) contract law (including contract review and preparation of customized and unique agreements); and (5) real estate law, including real estate purchase and sale transactions, commercial and residential leases, and document review.

How did you build a successful practice?

I have built a successful practice over a period of more than 40 years by listening to clients, offering customized services and solutions, and providing high quality legal services at a fair price. My practice is what is sometimes referred to as a "boutique" practice, in that I do not try to compete with mass marketed online services that offer "one size fits all" packages for a cheap price with little or no ongoing client communication, nor do I try to offer expertise in all areas of the law. My practice emphasizes individualized client attention and services in the areas of estate planning, probate, asset protection, business entity selection and formation, business transactions and litigation, and business sales and dissolutions.

What should clients look for in a lawyer?

In selecting an attorney, clients should look for experience, good ethical reputation, subject matter knowledge, and good communication skills. There is no substitute for experience, and an attorney who has dealt with your type of issue before is going to be more efficient and cost effective in dealing with your matter.

How important is local knowledge to the success of your cases?

I enjoy the practice of "preventive law" with business clients, which involves meeting with the clients periodically, engaging in strategic planning, looking at existing or potential legal issues and implementing solutions before those issues rise to the level of claims or litigation. This requires foresight and the right attitude on the part of the management of the business, but ultimately results in a reduction in legal costs to the company.

What information can you provide in a free phone consultation?

The subject of "free phone consultation" is greatly misunderstood. My office is happy to listen to a client's general description of the type of service the client believes he or she is looking for and advise as to the fee, or range of fees, we would charge to provide that service, but cannot provide an in-depth client interview and fact analysis in an initial phone consultation. Sometimes we make exceptions for geographically remote business or probate clients who are not able to come into the office. The term "free phone consultation" is often used in connection with consultations on criminal or personal injury matters where the attorney's fees for services are a flat fee or contingent fee and consequently are not affected by the amount of time expended by the attorney in consultations or otherwise.

What are your other interests in addition to law?

My outside interests include boating, travel, reading, music, and the study of unusual phenomena such as UFO's. My office was in Long Beach for many years and I am still a member of the Kiwanis Club of Long Beach and Chair of their Endowment Committee.
