Growing up in a family business taught Eric Hurtt about the obstacles that make running a business challenging. Facing litigation creates further risk that can seriously affect a company’s ability to plan for the future. Eric provides responsive and thorough legal representation that helps calm nerves and keep business goals on target.. “Clients can come to me with complex legal issues,” he said. “I will offer a clear gameplan to help them achieve a great result. With extensive advocacy experience, I can deliver success in both the conference room and the courtroom.”. As an experienced trial attorney, Eric executes the details of each case without losing sight of the client’s end goal. Through robust pre-trial litigation that includes fact investigation and early discovery, he works up cases well before jurors get involved. The strategy allows him to evaluate the merits of a case before deadlines or trial and establishes a foundation he and his clients can stand on to make educated decisions during all phases of litigation.
