For over 30 years, Eric has dedicated his practice to the litigation and resolution of business, employment, civil rights, disability rights and whistleblower disputes. Eric has tried jury and bench cases in both state and federal courts in numerous jurisdictions, including but not limited to the District of Columbia, Maryland, New York, Tennessee, and Mississippi. He formerly served as a trial attorney in the Employment Litigation Section of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division where he enforced Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Title I of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. Mr. Siegel is Past President of the Metropolitan Washington Employment Lawyers Association.
Given Eric's more than 10 years pursuing real estate development and acquisition opportunities and pursuing other business ventures, he combines his business knowledge with his litigation and trial expertise to offer his clients a broader range of solutions to address their legal problems. He knows firsthand from the client's perspective what are the "needs" to resolve a given problem, rather than focusing only on the "wants" or "wishes" of the client, which lead to unrealistic expectations. Eric is a pragmatic thinker who uses many of the tools at his disposal to resolve complex legal disputes and counsels his clients accordingly.

One of the most honest and caring attorneys I have dealt with. I randomly choose Eric after so much disappointment from a previous attorney. He was able to somewhat turn my employment situation around. While the final outcome was not what I anticipated, my final settlement was able to at lease recove...

This was my first time ever having to hire a lawyer. I was being discriminated against for my pregnancy and my company would not provide proper accommodations. A good friend referred me to Eric, and I couldn't have been happier. Eric was straightforward and to the point about what he could do for me....
Teela: Thank you for your kind words. It was a privilege serving you. All the best. Sincerely, Eric
