ERIC A. SPENCER, is a native Californian (Los Angeles, 1949) whose early legal work focused on business litigation and commercial collections.

Mr. Spencer graduated from California State University at Northridge and received his law degree from Whittier College School of Law. He became a partner in the firm in 1988.

He has published numerous articles and has been a panelist for seminars presented by the San Fernando Valley Bar Association and the Western Association of Equipment Lessors.
