Eric is a people person with a straightforward philosophy: treat everyone with the same respect, whether they’re a CEO of a large corporation or a laborer just starting their career. This guiding principle has led Eric to describe himself in four words: “white collar, blue soul.”  Whether it’s personal injury or wrongful death cases, complex commercial disputes, or class actions, Eric is dedicated to fighting for justice. His approach is rooted in trial preparation—every case is meticulously built with the courtroom in mind.

For over a decade, Eric has collaborated with Josh and Nate, his trusted colleagues and friends, all of whom hail from the esteemed law firm Richman Greer, P.A. It was there that Eric honed his skills, learning the art of trial law under some of the most respected mentors in the field. Eric considers it a privilege to have been trained by such legal legends and hopes to pass on the same knowledge and values to the next generation of trial lawyers.  Teamwork is at the heart of Eric’s practice. He works closely with his former legal intern, now a licensed attorney, and his assistant and paralegal, who has been by his side for more than a decade. Eric believes in fostering a culture of collegiality, collaboration, and trust within his team.

Outside of work, Eric is an avid outdoorsman who cherishes time with his family at his “farm” in Maine. His love for the region inspired him to obtain his license to practice law in Maine, where he is now actively expanding the firm’s presence.
