As Phillips Murrah celebrates 40 years of service, we are highlighting the people whose work has helped shape the firm along the way. In this 40 for 40 profile, we spotlight Eric Eissenstat and the perspective he brings to his role and to the firm’s culture.
Eric decided to become a lawyer to engage in the relentless pursuit of justice for those who have been wronged. It also helped that he found the work interesting and was, in his words, halfway decent at it.
When it came time to choose a firm, Phillips Murrah stood out for several reasons: a group of extremely talented lawyers, a very congenial working atmosphere, and a strong desire to help the community. The people were kind and worked as a team, and the firm also offered flexibility that mattered to him.
The most meaningful part of Eric’s work is connecting with clients on a personal level and achieving results that meaningfully impact their lives. He has been fortunate to achieve some excellent results for his clients and has received many heartwarming notes of thanks along the way. Many of those clients are still his friends today.
When asked what matters most about Phillips Murrah, Eric points to serving clients and achieving the best possible results for their interests, working as a team, and staying focused on serving the community.
Outside of work, Eric stays grounded through cycling, exercise, and travel, but most of all through time with his wife and his family, including their two Labradoodles, Scout and Ziggy.
As the firm celebrates 40 years, Eric believes Phillips Murrah has an amazing culture and makes a genuine, meaningful impact for its clients. He is confident the firm has a strong future and will endure long after he is gone.
