Eric has practiced law since 1972. In those years, he's guided people through just about every imaginable family law challenge. His peers call him determined. Eric likes to think of it as bringing "assertive support" to clients. Sensitivity is another hallmark of Eric's approach, because he knows clients come to him during one of the most frightening and frustrating periods of their lives. His goal is to protect them by blending intense advocacy with a compassionate approach to resolving their problems.
When he's not helping guide clients through difficult times, he might be found spending time with family, reading a book, or trekking the narrow streets of an Italian hamlet in search of the perfect risotto. And, if Eric had a choice of another dream career, he'd probably still be guiding people except it would be on a trout stream with a fly rod instead of through a family law case.
