E135: Eric Suris Litigation Attorney at WGK Personal Injury Lawyers

Eric is a graduate of the University of Baltimore School of Law and currently works as a Litigation Attorney at WGK Personal Injury Lawyers. Not only have I known Eric since I was 5, but hearing his riveting journey to the Law was a full-circle moment for me, and an excellent episode that anyone can learn from! Eric and I started before his introduction with his first run-in with Law School at Touro Law Center. Eric always wanted to be a Lawyer since he was 5 years old, with many of his relatives being Lawyers, and working in his Uncle’s Law Office since he was young. Following his graduation from Plattsburgh, Eric would head off to Touro Law Center. Although after his father, my legendary lifetime lacrosse coach, was struck with cancer in the fall, Eric would miss out on the GPA minimum in his first semester and would be dismissed. But this wouldn’t stop him, as the following fall, he would land himself at the University of Baltimore School of Law. With a new city to explore and having the prior experience of 1L, Eric would excel in his first year and beyond in Law School. Eric and I would discuss the various experiences he had throughout Law School, and how he came to find out that Personal Injury Litigation would be the path for him. Finally, we spoke about his post-Law School experiences and where he works today at WGK Personal Injury Lawyers. He spoke about identifying a company’s culture and learning how to build up cases. He emphasized asking questions and always being available to help at any opportunity. This episode with Eric was a sentimental one for me, and I would be remiss not to shout out the entire Suris family for all that they have done for me and my family throughout the years! With that being said, you don’t want to miss this one!
