Eric R. Birge
Eric became a lawyer to help those in situations where they can’t help themselves. He gets great satisfaction when one of the firm’s clients, often an ill, retired working man with a family of his own, gets justice from a corporation he dedicated his life to . . . a company who simply discarded him and is looking the other way when the responsibility for his injury or disease is their own doing. Eric’s family taught him the value of right and wrong, and he learned growing up that people and companies aren’t always fair. To Eric, there is no nobler cause than helping those that have been injured due to no fault of their own.
