About Eric F.
Eric F. Citron built his legal foundation at Harvard and Yale. He earned an A.B. in Social Studies from Harvard University in 1999 and a J.D. from Yale Law School in 2004. Those credentials opened doors to a sequence of federal clerkships and government work that shaped his early career.
After law school, Citron spent time in federal courts. He served as a law clerk in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia in 2007 and at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit in 2008. He then moved into public service at the Department of Justice, where in 2009 he worked as counsel to the Assistant Attorney General in the Antitrust Division. He later returned to private practice for a period as a senior associate at WilmerHale in 2010. In 2012 he held a clerkship at the Supreme Court of the United States.
Those positions gave him exposure to high-stakes appellate litigation and government enforcement work. At the Department of Justice he handled issues that frequently appear in antitrust enforcement and related civil litigation. His clerkships offered a close look at appellate reasoning and the courtroom processes that shape precedential decisions.
Citron now practices at Goldstein & Russell, P.C., where he is a partner. His practice reflects the mix of appellate and government experience accumulated earlier in his career. He prepares appeals, drafts briefs, and participates in oral argument. He handles matters that cross multiple federal circuits and state lines.
He is admitted to practice in a broad set of jurisdictions. That list includes the U.S. Supreme Court and numerous federal courts of appeals: the D.C. Circuit, the 2nd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th and Federal Circuits. He is also admitted in several states, including the District of Columbia, Maryland and Massachusetts.
Colleagues and opposing counsel note that his background provides a steady base for appellate work. He draws on courtroom experience, time in government, and years spent drafting appellate briefs across subjects. He appears before federal appellate panels and state courts when cases warrant, and he manages litigation that involves complex legal questions and procedural issues.
He continues to handle appeals and complex civil litigation at Goldstein & Russell, P.C., where his practice centers on appellate litigation and related civil matters.
