Relationship: Worked together on matter
I endorse this lawyer. I have co-counseled with Eric on several matters, one of which went to a successful 8 figure jury verdict. Eric is selective in the cases he accepts for litigation and excellent at positioning them for resolution, either through settlement or trial. If Eric accepts your case, you are in good hands.
