If you are looking for a tenacious advocate, Eric is your guy. I've known Eric for over 20 years and since I first met him he has proven to be a skilled and ethical advocate for his clients and a really good guy on a personal level.

Eric is an extraordinary attorney at the very top of his game. His experience runs miles deep, and he focuses on what matters most in a case. I endorse this lawyer.
