About Eric
Biography
I have spent most of the past 33 years helping individuals and companies solve their employment issues. My expertise in the field has been recoginzed by my peers [fellow lawyers and law firms] who have sought me out to help them sucessfully resolve their employment litigation issues and colloborate on their cases.
In addition, much of my work has come from referrals mainly from long time practitioners who recognize my passion for providing lasting solutions for my clients.
I have also been active in the community having previously served on a site counsel for my children's elementry school as well as the financial counsel for my parish. More recently I have been active in coaching athletics including 15 years coaching youth and AAU basketball as well as youth football and soccer teams.
