About Eric David
Eric David Nielsen is a trial lawyer whose career traces back to legal training at the University of Texas at Austin, where he earned his J.D. in 1982. He came of age in a period of shifting courtroom tactics and emerging litigation trends. That era helped shape a practice built around advocacy at trial and steady involvement in local legal circles.
After law school he established a practice that spans more than one jurisdiction. He is licensed to practice in both Texas and Washington, and those dual registrations have allowed him to handle matters that require familiarity with differing state procedures. In 2015 he is listed as a trial lawyer at The Nielsen Law Office, P.C., a firm that reflects his interest in courtroom work and individual client representation.
Nielsen’s work has been tied closely to trial practice. He has appeared in trial settings and organized litigation where live testimony and courtroom strategy play central roles. Colleagues describe him as methodical in preparing witnesses and courtroom materials, and persistent during trial phases. He combines an old-school attention to evidence with a practical approach to case presentation.
Professional affiliations have been a feature of his career. He has maintained memberships in the Houston Trial Lawyers Association and the Harris County Democratic Lawyers Association since 1978. He is also a member of an organization described as Personal Injury Trial Law, a group that aligns with the kinds of litigation he often handles. Those ties reflect a long-standing engagement with trial-focused organizations and local legal communities in Texas.
Throughout his career Nielsen has balanced courtroom work with the administrative and client-facing duties of running a practice. He has handled pretrial motion practice, discovery disputes, witness preparation and jury trial work. That combination keeps him involved in both the strategic and practical sides of litigation.
His practice spans the procedural differences of two states and the procedural demands of trial work. He continues to work through The Nielsen Law Office, P.C., handling trial matters and related litigation in Texas and Washington.
