Criminal Law

• Criminal Defense
  Our trial lawyers handle numerous types of civil litigation, as well as serious criminal matters. We have tried cases and argued appeals in many federal and state courts involving many areas of controversy.  We also handle disputes before a wide variety of non-judicial forums from federal and state agencies, such as negotiations, alternative dispute resolution panels, and more.
• DUI/DWI
  I got a 3rd DUI. The first lawyer for DUI number 1 pled me guilty and said there was nothing we could do. That was point 1. On the 2nd, I hired DUI expert lawyer Lampel. He got the charge reduced to a ‘dry reckless’, which didn’t cause my insurance rates to sky rocket, or go on my record as a drinking and driving offense.
• Drug Crimes
• Assault
• Murder
  I hired Eric Lampel to defend me against murder charges that were untrue. The Orange County Sheriff planted evidence, lied to witnesses, photographed me naked, and then the District Attorney filed false murder charges against me. My whole life was in the balance. Eric fought the whole unjust system for me and my family, held us together, and he got a NOT GUILTY jury verdict on all counts – then he sued the cops and the evil DA’s in Federal Court for violating my civil rights.
• Homicide
• Manslaughter
  Eric Lampel’s efforts caused a deadlock trial in the case of grossly negligent vehicular manslaughter. Jorene Ypanto Nicolas  was accused of being inattentive while driving, leading to the death of a motorist.

Employment Law

• Employment Discrimination
  If you have suffered employment discrimination, Attorney Eric Lampel has a proven track record of winning cases, including a $1.35 judgment for a client against an international law firm. He takes your pain and suffering seriously and is concerned about what happened to you. Discrimination is unfair treatment against a certain group, typically based on characteristics such as race, gender, religion, or disability. It not only violates your rights, but it might also make you sick or injured. If you successfully file an employment discrimination lawsuit, you might be entitled to compensation. Eric has what it takes to win your case. He knows the law and understands your situation. He will fight hard on your behalf and stand by you through the legal process. He’ll make sure you understand your rights and the legal process. Eric is committed to providing fair compensation to victims of discrimination.
• Non-compete Agreement
  A non-compete clause occurs when one party promises not to enter or start a similar profession or trade in competition with the other party under a non-compete provision, restrictive covenant, or covenant not to compete. This type of agreement is referred to as “restrictive covenants” by courts.

Property Law

• Real Estate Litigation
  Property disputes may arise from breach of contract, fraud, disputes over boundaries, undisclosed easements or covenants, easement rights, location of underground utilities, or various other issues. Disputes may occur due to a variety of reasons, but because a real estate dispute can be highly emotional, it’s important to document all evidence and conversations. The Lampel Firm may advise you regarding easements and zoning, or even whether to enter into a development contract. Real estate disputes can be time-consuming, especially when a court is involved, so it’s important to have a real estate attorney working with you from the beginning.
