Eric represents individuals who have been injured by dangerous drugs and defective medical devices and has helped recover millions of dollars on their behalf. He handles every aspect of his clients’ cases from their pleadings to their depositions.

“As the attorneys at the firm prepare a case for trial, we spend as much time as possible with our clients, often in their homes, learning about them and their families,” Eric said. “We pride ourselves in fighting for our clients just as we would for our own family members.”

Eric graduated with his master’s degree in public health from the University of Illinois at Chicago in 2010.
