About Eric
Biography
Eric Nixdorf has over twenty years of experience as an attorney, real estate investor and small businessman.

Eric was the principal attorney for a number of prominent tax, bankruptcy and real estate litigation cases, including Tull v. U.S., 69 F. 3d 394 (9th Cir. 1995) which defined "voluntary" payments to the IRS, restricting the IRS's ability to re-designate payments made by taxpayers.

He regularly teaches continuing education courses to other attorneys and legal professionals and seminars for real estate professionals.

Please Be Aware
This guy is a joke he took my money $1,750 to set up an S corp and never did anything after 4 months and in the mean time someone else took and filed my Corporate name because this Eric was playing around with some back door deal with the stare which i will also be letting the state know as well Plea...

Replied last May 3, 2021I am again very sorry that the Secretary of State's office wrongfully rejected your corporate registration which allowed someone else to take the corporate name you preferred. The State employee that made the mistake apologized and her supervisor offered to help you register a similar name, but you declined. We also refunded all the fees you paid. I understand that you are still angry about what happened, but there is just nothing more we can do in this kind of situation. Unfortunately, California law does not allow lawsuits against it or its employees when they make that kind of mistake.

I never felt like a number. He always got back to me in time and kept me informed of the next steps. I felt so relieved he was handling my case.
