For more than three decades, Eric has represented high-profile clients in the healthcare, financial services, real estate and other highly regulated industries. He is known for handling contentious matters—product liability, construction/delay claims, employment and labor issues, antitrust claims and class action law suits to name just a few—and has a list of successes to show for it.
Eric’s litigation strategies are always in support of his client’s overall business objectives which is why some of the nation’s largest companies including CenturyLink/Qwest, GlaxoSmithKline and Phillip Morris rely on him.
