About Eric James
Eric James Mikovch earned a B.A. in political science from Colgate University in 1991 and a J.D. from the University of Pittsburgh School of Law in 1994. He moved from the classroom to the courtroom quickly. His academic record set a foundation for practice in both trial and appellate settings.
He began his professional career in the mid-1990s and has been associated with Quinn Law Office since 1994. He has served as a shareholder at the firm since that time. That longevity has kept him rooted in a single practice environment while the law around him has changed.
Mikovch is admitted to practice in Pennsylvania and is authorized to appear before the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. He joined the Pennsylvania State Bar in 1994 and maintains active membership. Local and national professional ties include the Erie County Bar Association and the American Bar Association, both of which list his membership beginning in 1994 and continuing to the present.
He is also a member of organizations that concentrate on criminal defense. Those memberships include the Pennsylvania Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers and the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers. His affiliation with these groups signals ongoing engagement with developments in criminal law and appellate procedure.
Colleagues describe Mikovch as steady and pragmatic. He handles matters that range from initial arraignment through post-conviction appeals. He approaches each file in a straightforward manner and emphasizes procedural clarity. He has represented clients in state courts and has taken appeals to the federal appellate level where permitted.
At Quinn Law Office, Mikovch works on criminal defense and appellate matters. He continues to maintain memberships in state and national bar organizations and in criminal defense associations. He now concentrates his current practice on criminal defense and appellate work in Pennsylvania and before the Third Circuit.
