About Eric J.
Eric J. Proos studied law at the University of Detroit Mercy School of Law. He built his early career in private firms before launching his own practice. The law school shaped his entry into practice and prepared him for work in California.
He began as an associate at Cochran Davis & Associates in 2015. The following year he joined Hart Legal as an associate. In 2016 he opened The Law Office of Eric J. Proos, P.C., establishing a small firm through which he could take on individual matters and manage client relationships directly. In 2022 he served as of‑counsel at The Berman Law Group while continuing to operate his firm.
Those early years gave him steady exposure to courtroom procedure, client counseling and case management. He has worked in various roles inside law firms and in an of‑counsel capacity. That combination has kept him engaged in both the day‑to‑day demands of running a practice and the discrete responsibilities of case work.
Public records show he is licensed to practice in California. He has maintained professional association memberships since at least 2013, reflecting a steady involvement in the legal community. Colleagues describe him as a lawyer who balances firm obligations with individualized attention to clients, and who prefers pragmatic solutions over flashier litigation strategies.
His practice history reflects an emphasis on private practice rather than government or in‑house work. Founding his own firm in 2016 allowed him to set a practice style and select the matters he accepts. The of‑counsel role he assumed in 2022 provided an opportunity to collaborate with another established firm while keeping his independent practice intact.
Today he practices through The Law Office of Eric J. Proos, P.C. He handles client matters in California and continues to maintain an active role in his firm’s operations. He currently represents clients in California.
