About Eric
Biography
I am a litigation attorney/shareholder at the Donna Law Firm in Minneapolis, Minnesota. My practice area specialties primarily involve defending the "Three Rs" - restaurants, retail establishments, and railroads.
Before joining the Donna Law Firm, I was a litigator/shareholder with a small railroad defense firm in St. Paul, Minnesota. There, I honed my litigation and trial skills while representing several Class I railroads against claims brought under the Federal Employers’ Liability, Locomotive Inspection, and Safety Appliance Acts.
I am a 2003 graduate of the University of Minnesota Law School, and a 1999 graduate of the University of Iowa (Go Hawks!). I also hold a mediation certificate from the University of Wisconsin-Superior.
In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family, the outdoors (fishing, hunting, and hiking), traveling, reading, and sporting events.
