Law Office of Eric T. Krening - Tacoma, WA

Hired Eric T. Krening around October 2022 to review my wrongful termination and employment discrimination case. He was recommended to me by a life-long friend. Had much confidence in him. Seemed like a decent professional who was competent. My case was complicated. Events of the termination are actually simple and clear -- the company failed. However, they refused to speak with me. I became suicidal. The termination destroyed my professional reputation and mental health. I was isolated, alone, frustrated ... nobody cared. After lengthy consideration of suicide, my DR suggested I journal my thoughts and write letters to officials. Take action to move forward. I did. The company used comments from my letters to officials to compose a Rule 11 motion for sanctions. This threat scared away my initial attorneys. Working with Eric, I asked to divide the review into two components: the original complaint and defendants' Rule 11 motion. Eric found my complaint had merit and extended me a contract for services. I accepted via email, but wanted to be sure he was informed about the Rule 11. Eric demanded more money. He completed the review -- and then withdrew support. However, Eric failed to inform me that the evidence included in defendants' Rule 11 was unlawful. I told him that I believed it was meritless, but I'm not an attorney. Eric abandoned me. Refused to speak with me further. I continued self-represented as pro se litigant. Continued to research. Learned recently that defendants' evidence was unlawful. I'm not an attorney, but I found this precedent. Eric failed to inform me. His review was flawed. Had he known, he likely would have continued with my case. He walked away. He discouraged me. He left me isolated, frustrated and alone! Recently notified Eric of this legal discovery. He has not responded. Consider this a potential legal malpractice issue. Consider Eric a friend, but friends do not abandon friends. Eric charged me a lot of money. His work appeared to be flawed and lacking competence. I hope to hear from him.
