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.
