Eric began his legal career in 2009 as a paralegal for his father Steven. This experience taught Eric the intricacies of estate planning through drafting countless wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and other legal documents. As a naturally analytical problem solver with an acute attention to detail, Eric found that law, and specifically estate planning, was a perfect fit for his skill set.
Eric earned his JD at Golden Gate University (GGU) in San Francisco. GGU is the only law school in the Bay area with a department focused on estate planning law, thus Eric's time in law school was extremely focused and pertinent to his future practice. After law school, Eric joined his father as a lawyer at Davidson Estate Law, adding many additional years of legal service (and the third generation) to the Davidson law practice. Furthermore, in order to expand his legal knowledge and to be able better serve his clients, Eric is currently completing the LL.M in Estate Planning and Taxation program at GGU.
