Eric is the pioneer to the “team” approach to tax, estate and business planning, adding value to financial institution’s relationships with their clients by creating an environment where the client’s existing advisors and Eric work together equally for the common goal of providing the best answer to any tax, estate or business problems and structuring such plans for continuation through generations.
