About

Eric graduated from Muhlenberg College with a BA in Psychology and a minor in Spanish. Thereafter, he attended Villanova University School of Law, graduating in 2006. Upon graduating, he clerked for the Honorable Arthur R. Tilson of the Montgomery County Court of Common Pleas. In August, 2007, he went into private practice, opening an office in West Chester. The sole focus of his practice is on family law issues.Whether you are going through a complicated and painful Divorce, or are in an amicable circumstance where you and your spouse simply want to “walk away,” it is imperative that you learn about the rights and obligations that you have as you go through this life-changing event. I make it my personal responsibility to explain the Divorce, Child Custody, and Support laws in a simple, straight-forward fashion.No two clients are facing the same set of facts and circumstances. Every case is unique, and Divorce legal services cannot be properly provided in a “one size fits all” package. If you are considering filing for Divorce, then you should take time to carefully select a Divorce Lawyer who will be committed to your case and who will provide your matter with adequate time and attention.

I had a very complicated divorce - Hired 2 lawyers before Eric and I was having issues getting anything done. Eric made sense of it all quickly and settled all my issues swiftly.

Separation and divorce is hard enough, but when problems arise involving our children, it is far worse. Eric helped my family through some very difficult times. He offered me professional advice and guided me towards resolution of serious conflicts between my ex husband and myself regarding our three boys. With his guidance, I was able to stay strong and I avoided hearings and court with my children, knowing that Eric would be there to support my family in court if necessary. I am grateful for his services and would recommend him for anyone in need of a family law attorney.

I can't write enough to praise how dedicated and fair Eric is as a person and attorney. Eric is selfless, he fights fair and just, and fights for what is right. He understands and empathizes when innocent children are caught in the ugly mess of divorce/custody battles especially when the other party is inconsiderate, vindictive and egositic. Eric represented me for what he believed to be the truth, kept it fair and handled my case quickly and efficiently. Eric is respected and builds a good rapport with the Master and handles opposing counsel with respect even when faced with immaturity. This process is not easy, but Eric helped keep emotions, finances and challenges under control. Every time I walked out of his office or into the courtroom, I felt confident, secure and trusted in his professionalism. He handled the drama and character attacks from opposing counsel with ease. He continues to lead me with his experience and keep me above the opposition. I was represented not once but twice and was very please by the outcome for my children and as a coparent. Thank you!

I hired Eric to advise me on my custodial rights after my ex and I separated but before we had a legal agreement. During this time Eric advised me on all my options regarding questionable actions by my ex. Later on my ex filed for primary custody. Eric advised me on multiple approaches I could take, answered all my questions, and truly understood my desired outcome. He was also very patient with my ridiculous hypothetical situations and took the time to make sure I truly understood everything he was advising me on. I feel Eric charges very fair rates and hours billed. He was also very accessible and prompt to return phone calls and emails. While waiting at the courthouse for conciliation, Eric was speaking with other lawyers regarding various situations - he is extremely knowledgeable, not just of the law, but of various Chester County judges and custody masters. I am very happy I found Eric and spoke to him first, I cannot imagine another attorney handling my case any better. I would not hesitate to hire Eric again.

Eric was very helpful, prompt and responsive in dealing with my divorce case that was recently finalized. His accounting for fees was also clear and accurate. I will certainly contact him in the future for any legal issue that may arise.

I thought Eric made an outstanding advocate. He was a great sounding board and kept my best interests in the forefront. I was especially appreciate of his flexibility and understanding to my needs because I felt they may have been slightly unusual and if they were, he handled them with the utmost professionalism.

I hired Eric 3 years ago to help me with my divorce and custody of my children. It was a very troublesome time for me. My ex had a substance abuse problem and the safety of my children was a big concern. He was very understanding and did whatever he could to help and educate me on my rights.

Eric helped me get through a difficult time and helped me to sort things out related to multiple issues. His friendly and open demeanor was a major benefit. Eric made me feel calm and clear during a very stressful time, he took the time to answer my questions and explain the steps needed along the way. Eric didn't push to trump up the issues and complicate things, he reassured me that I had certain rights in the proceedings and that they would be upheld. Eric was highly accessible and quick to respond to questions and issues throughout the process. I would not hesitate to use Eric for future legal issues.

I can highly recommend Eric to anyone who needs representation related to a divorce. I had been dealing with a difficult divorce in which my former spouse was dragging her feet and making matters difficult. I had previously hired another attorney who was not able to make any headway in getting my divorce finalized. Once I hired Eric, he quickly understood the issues at hand, saw the matter through, and successfully brought the matter to a fair and satisfactory conclusion. I was very impressed with his professionalism and knowledge in all areas of divorce law related to my case. He clearly explained complex legal matters to me in layman's terms so that I knew exactly what was going on. Again, I am very satisfied with Eric and strongly recommend him in the area of divorce law.
