Atty. Ericarae Garcia
I love the entire process of helping our clients who have been hurt by the defective products or injurious actions of others - from the first phone call up until a final settlement or resolution. But my favorite parts are each and every time I can call a client and give them an update, tell them we have accomplished something for them, and then hearing the relief in their voice.” Weitz & Luxenberg is pleased to welcome EricaRae Garcia to our Drug and Medical Device Litigation practice group.
