In addition to Super Lawyers, Eric has been recognized by Chambers, Best Lawyers, D Magazine and LawDragons. Eric has been named one of the “Top 100 Lawyers” by Thomson Reuters for 12 years running, and is one of the most widely respected and recognized trial lawyers across Texas, and the United States.
His experience and passion, paired with careful planning and a keen eye for case-winning details, has led to a remarkable record of achievement and results.
