Our Reviews At a Glance

I just wanted to pass along what an EXCELLENT job Eric did in his opening statement at the mediation. While he had a command of all the facts and law per his review, after reading the room he knew exactly what to say and did so in a firm, but Dale Carnegie way. He had them hanging on every word. He was very professional, and at the same time w/ a “you don’t want to mess w/ me”, knowledgeable, attitude. Thanks again.

Thank you for all that you are doing. You are amazing and my mother says your heart is why you are so blessed. There are so few people that have the courage and integrity to handle those who are despicable bullies and I despise them. Your client did great at the Murdaugh sentencing hearing and you are such a compassionate person. I know that it has been and is a long emotional journey. Thank you for being a superhero. Keep up the good fight.
Stephanie Snowden

Eric was incredible and brought me to tears…more than once [during his statement at Alex Murdaugh’s sentencing hearing]. His passion and care for his clients was palpable. What a class act he is.

Sandy Peterson

Thanks for all you have done…
Thanks for all you have done and continue to do bringing Justice to all of the families that were affected by this monster out of Hampton County. Your professionalism and commentary on the hundreds of shows you have appeared on have been first class. The way you have taken the high road with some of these attorneys that know nothing about our little part of the world is an inspiration to me. Continue the great work.

Couldn’t have asked for a better team…
Hi Eric, been thinking about you, Ronnie and everyone at the firm a lot lately. I really really appreciate everything you guys did for us and couldn’t have asked for a better team. You guys went above and beyond many times; you especially stuck your neck out when it would’ve been much safer not to. I hope you all know that you made a huge difference, thank you.
Angie Hammond

Thank you for your efforts. I’ve been impressed…
Thank you for your efforts. I’ve been impressed with the way that Ronnie and you gave me both your legal and personal assessments regarding my case.
Marc Goldenberg DDS

Without your help I would not be in the position I am today…
I want to take this opportunity to thank you for your assistance with my corporate legal troubles and to tell you once again that without your help I would not be in the position I am today. Thankfully, with your help, I have made a full comeback. Your expedience, attention to detail, and skill as a lawyer have far surpassed my expectations. You made a potentially and most unbearable situation less of a hardship. Thank you for helping me to regain control of my company.

I have seen, on multiple occasions, how well you represent your clients…
Congratulations on a job well done. You did more for your clients in a month and a half than their previous attorneys did in a year and a half. You guys are certainly on my list of attorneys to refer “conflict” work to now that I have seen, on multiple occasions, how well you represent your clients.

You guys are better than the best TV trial lawyers…
You guys are better than the best TV trial lawyers!! Absolute masters at your craft! By the time I reached out to you, I was paralyzed and scared; but Bland Richter treated me like a member of the family (rather than just a client), displaying sincerest interest in my personal and financial wellbeing, sacrificing personally and professionally to get my case ready for trial. Throughout Bland Richter’s preparation of my case, I was continually amazed at the volume of work you accomplished in such a short amount of time! You are truly exceptional at what you do, absolutely phenomenal legal talents at the very top of your profession! Seeing you fight for me and my case was truly awesome. Your performance at trial was stunning, the deciding factor in my case. What a blessing! You are difference makers who walk the walk. You stood up for me and for what is right. You nailed it and we won big! You saved my career and solidified my family’s well-being. I am ecstatic about this result. You gave me my life back! I am free!!
Chad Gunnlaugsson, MD

It was an honor to have your firm represent me…

It’s a shame there are not more awesome lawyers like you…
“If you place money before integrity, honesty and truth karma going to get you. It’s a shame there are not more awesome lawyers like Eric Bland, Ronnie Richter…” 5/2023
Barbara McCabe

I think we got a phenomenal result for the client at the mediation yesterday.
I thank y’all for being there whenever needed. Y’all are both my friends, but I don’t send my other friends in need to you only because you are my friends, but because you are two great and ethical lawyers. I want to entrust my friends to the very best.

Alan Medlin

Professor, University of South Carolina School of Law - March, 2024

To say I was emotional was an understatement. We watched you on tv yesterday speaking on behalf of your clients at the Murdaugh hearing. You are one of the most selfless people I know. You fought an amazing fight. I am truly honored to call you my friend and our attorney! A good day for justice! Way to Go! Love you EB!

Brittany Rucker

Thank you for your genuine respect for victims. I appreciate your clear explanations of the legal developments of the various Murdaugh cases and their implications. The authenticity and heart you bring to your work with Cup of Justice underscore your trustworthiness. I am a fan.
Joelle Brouner

Disability Advocate

Thank you for your legal insight…
Just a quick thank you to you for your legal insight on the Murdaugh case. I appreciate how you clearly explain things and keep the victims (the many victims) in the forefront. Regardless of the outcome, you have help make a crazy media frenzy a lot more sane.
Michelle - Feb 2023

Rare for attorneys in this industry…
I was impressed with Eric and his law firm. They read and understood all of the relevant documents and were up on general construction practices. That’s rare for attorneys in this industry.
Robert Woodrow

Your reputation for honesty and big verdicts continues to grow…
I just returned from a vacation and saw The State newspaper which set out your landmark victory in what I now call the “nut cracking case”. Good job. Your reputation for honesty and big verdicts continues to grow.
"Well Regarded Midlands South Carolina Lawyer"

Wish we would have had you both from the beginning…
Well done! Thanks for the great work. Wish we would have had you both from the beginning. It is my pleasure to work with two guys that have such a keen interest in helping their clients and to do it in such a professional way.
Pat Welch, CPA

Thank you doesn’t seem to say enough…
Thank you doesn’t seem to say enough for everything that you did for me and my whole family. But, THANK YOU. With all of your concern and your professional process of handling everything that was involved in my case, I am in a good place in my life today.
Annette Saleeby-Hope

Former Client

I immediately had the feeling of trust…
When I met with you folks, I immediately had the feeling of trust. This is unusual for me… One of the greatest complaints I have against attorneys is their lack of response to a telephone inquiry. This was never the case with you folks. My questions were answered promptly and concisely with no hidden meanings. Another problem with most firms is taking their good old time seeing that the client received documents involving the case. I never had that problem with your firm. You have worked your time management to a science based on my association with you.

Bland Richter Represented in a Legal Malpractice Case

You absolutely maximized the value of a very challenging case…
Your detailed and aggressive presentation yesterday forced the settlement. I seriously doubt it would have happened otherwise. I never wanted to settle this case. You absolutely maximized the value of a very challenging case and should be proud.

Every day you give more to me than I can ever repay. Thank you for being my lawyers. You two are what the law aspires for each lawyer to be.
Daniel K. Hughes

I have never been more impressed…
I have never been more impressed with any lawyers than I was with Ronnie Richter and his partner Eric Bland. They were excellent and are true men of integrity. I think the world of both of them… I highly recommend Bland Richter to you if you ever need a top notch law firm.

Absolutely phenomenal gentlemen…
Phenomenal!! Absolutely phenomenal gentlemen! Thank you for standing up for my rights and for saving my job and home. Our company, our retirement, our home and our future were in jeopardy. You guys reached over and pulled us up when we were hanging from the cliff. I do not have the words to express my appreciation. Fantastic job at the trial!!!! Thank you for walking to the edge of the cliff. I could never, I repeat never have done this without you. We finally got heard!!!

I am being represented by superior attorneys…
I am being represented by superior attorneys. It is the difference between night and day, the professionalism practiced by your office when compared to the way my former attorneys and their office represented me. … There will always be a place in my and my wife’s hearts for you. From the beginning, I knew I had a man of infallible scruples whose word was his scripture. The folks who hire your firm to be their lawyers have certainly picked the best.

Just the kind of litigation counsel that clients are looking to hire…
You fellows are just the kind of litigation counsel that clients are looking to hire. You guys are warriors…and I don’t use that term lightly. You are aggressive, hard working, and well prepared; and I have seen your relentless efforts pay off.

Thank you for caring…
I thank my respectable Attorney Eric Bland and his amazing team for a job well done in representing me in this matter. I appreciate you. Couldn’t be done without you. I am really grateful.
Florence Ogunkunle

Owner, Ropheka Cares, LLC (Caregiver Service)

That effective strategy has yielded great results for your clients…
No question a lot of hard work (went into getting a number of parties and target parties to settle so quickly). You had the insight and foresight to use the serial approach and separate from the herd one by one. That effective strategy has yielded great results for your clients and you.
An Attorney Involved in the Satterfield/Murdaugh Matter

Appreciate your professionalism, aggressiveness, and complete trust…
Eric, I just wanted to take a few moments to let you know that I truly appreciated your letter dated 8 Sept. 97. There were days I had no one to turn to who could understand. At the end of the day, I knew Eric Bland was out fighting on my behalf to the best of his ability. That’s what kept me going. Furthermore, I appreciate your professionalism, aggressiveness, and complete trust. Yes, you will be hearing from me down the road. Godspeed to you and your family. Sincerely, Ray Royalty

Karen and I truly appreciate all of the professional hard work and attention to detail that all of you put into my case. From the very beginning our first impression was “Wow these folks are aggressively taking on my case” and it never waivered throughout the whole process. Observing the depth of knowledge and experience as everyone worked through the process was a real education for us. Also, the TEAM’S advice to us was always spot-on.
Karen and I thank all of you for your efforts!

Eric Bland is one of the people and attorneys I respect most. He does amazing things for our justice system.
Alan Medlin

Tenured Trust and Estate Professor, University of South Carolina School of Law

You, EB, are so well spoken and always explain things in a way that those of us who aren’t familiar with all the terms of the law can understand. Appreciate you and all you’re doing for the victims! Keep up the good work!
Name Withheld

Your speech at the sentencing hearing was simply amazing! I felt the anger in every word you said as I’m sure the victims did. Thank you for standing up for what is right in our world today!! You da man!!

Patty W. Dasher

I admire your tenacity, clarity, and empathy…
I wanted you to know that I’ve been following this Murdaugh mess from my home in Hawaii. I can’t tell you how much I admire your tenacity, clarity, and empathy. Mrs. Satterfield’s boys are very fortunate to have you all on their side. I wish you all the best in all your future endeavors.
Laurie Girardot

You both listen well and you care…
Your communication being as prompt and as personal as it has been has not gone unnoticed and unappreciated. I wasn’t sure how our interactions were going to go, but I feel like you both listen well, and you care. I wasn’t sure those were two attributes I was going to get from a lawyer (being that we are a relatively new practice), but maybe that’s what makes you so successful.
Joanna Silver Dover, D.M.D.

Very proud to have the two of you as my counsel…
Guys…I cannot imagine a more diplomatic or professional way of articulating the particulars of this matter other than to say: the way in which you guys conduct yourselves in navigating these matters makes me very proud to have the two of you as my counsel.
W. Phil Murdock, Jr.

Thank you for the hard work and for keeping me informed…
You guys are awesome to work with and seriously good at what you do. Thank you for the hard work and for keeping me informed and comfortable throughout the process. We are pleased with the outcome.

Fantastic job…
I honestly think you did a fantastic job as presenters at the Legal Ethics of Attracting and Selecting Clients CLE; you made it very interesting!
Samuel D. Harms

Greenville Attorney

You did an outstanding and unbelievable job…
You and Ronnie did an outstanding and unbelievable job on this case. You took their best shot. I really don’t know any other attorneys who could have prosecuted this case to a successful end. Congrats, you’ve righted a wrong.
A Leading and Recognized Expert Witness

You guys stood by me and did a tremendous job…
I have tremendous respect for what Ronnie and you do. It is obviously not easy being a lawyer and suing other lawyers for legal malpractice. You guys stood by me and did a tremendous job. … I have great appreciation for what you both do…it is a courageous path you have both chosen to fight for folks like me against other attorney’s wrong-doing. It is is a noble and risky business. I want you to know that I do understand and realize what you do is not popular and takes a heavy toll. It makes it that much more remarkable that you took my case and fought for me every step of the way. The people we sued will always remember this lawsuit and it is my hope that they will act more responsibly for their clients.

I could not have achieved these goals without your help. You both communicated with me thoroughly and managed my expectations during the entire process. You have allowed me to be able to stand tall and maintain my honor. You guys will be my attorneys forever.

Sandra Ellen Hardee, M.D

Talented, serious lawyers that I respect…
It is clear that you both are talented, serious lawyers and I respect and admire that.

South Carolinians deserve the type of representation I got from you people…
South Carolina is wide open for a firm made up of good attorneys to go in the business. South Carolinians are good people, mostly honest and they deserve the type of representation I got from you people. I never asked you a question that was not answered, never called and missed you that you didn’t get back to me, and you kept me up to date by email on every issue which I needed to know about.

Angie and Paul Hammond

What an unbelievable ethic…
I’ve never been a lawyer who played well and worked well with others and as a result always preferred to work alone. However, it was a great pleasure to work with you on these cases and watch you strategize. What an unbelievable work ethic. Thank you for helping me in these very difficult cases. I would not have been able to obtain such favorable results on my own. … Thank you for your excellent work! This is an incredible testament to your well-deserved reputation.
Theodore Von Keller

Overwhelmed with gratitude…
I am overwhelmed with gratitude for all that you have done to support the clients that Alex Murdaugh has harmed. Thank you for supporting and championing the case for the Satterfields, Gloria Pinkney, and everyone else involved. I am a retired Navy Commander who’s 67 years old in Virginia Beach. I don’t do Social Media so had to find some way to acknowledge all the victims in this case.
