About David H.
David H. Erickson took a conventional path into the law. He earned an A.B. from Boston College in 1982 and a J.D. from Rutgers School of Law–Newark in 1985. Those dates mark the start of a long legal career centered in Massachusetts. He reads cases closely and approaches problems in a practical, courtroom-minded way.
After graduating from law school, Erickson established a practice under his own name. He has worked for many years in Massachusetts courts, handling appellate matters and other contested issues that come before state tribunals. His work is grounded in legal research and written advocacy. Colleagues describe his style as direct and precise; he values clear briefing and careful adherence to appellate procedure.
Erickson is active in the local and state bar community. He currently serves as president of the Northern Middlesex Bar Association. In that role he handles administrative duties, helps coordinate programming, and represents the association in regional matters. He also holds membership in the Massachusetts Bar Association’s Appellate Bench Bar Committee, where he participates in discussions on appellate practice and bench–bar relations.
His involvement in bar organizations has shaped part of his day-to-day practice. The committee work keeps him engaged with emerging appellate rules and court procedures. It also offers a regular forum for exchanging ideas with judges and other appellate practitioners. That exchange feeds back into how he prepares briefs and presents legal arguments.
Erickson’s practice operates from his own office in Massachusetts. He manages client matters, prepares appellate filings, and handles the procedural demands that appellate work requires. He balances written advocacy with the more administrative aspects of running a solo practice. Over time he has built a routine around meticulous preparation and attention to precedent.
He is not a frequent public profile figure; his presence is most often felt in filings and local bar activities. That low public profile reflects a steady approach to practice rather than a pursuit of publicity. He continues to work in Massachusetts courts and remains involved in bar leadership and appellate committee work. His current practice centers on appellate work and related matters across Massachusetts.
