About Eric Paul
Eric Paul Betzner has spent decades in the Pennsylvania legal community. He earned his J.D. from the University of Pennsylvania Law School in 1987. The law school years shaped the legal reasoning he would carry into practice.
Soon after completing law school, Betzner stepped into private practice. In 1987 he took on the title of lawyer-partner at Yablonski, Costello & Leckie. That role placed him in the company of experienced litigators and trial attorneys and tied his career closely to work in Pennsylvania courts. Records show his professional activity beginning in that year and continuing through the years that followed.
His membership in the Pennsylvania State Bar has been a constant. He maintains that membership today. That affiliation reflects compliance with state licensure and participation in the organized bar community. Over the years he has handled matters that arise under Pennsylvania law and has worked alongside other lawyers at his firm.
Betzner’s career path follows a familiar arc for many who remain in private practice. He moved from law school straight into a partnership role and then into long-term practice in the same jurisdiction. The available details emphasize his firm association and sustained presence in Pennsylvania rather than a catalogue of cases or publications. He is associated professionally with the lawyers and staff at Yablonski, Costello & Leckie and has practiced under the firm name.
Colleagues and clients describe a practitioner who is steady and experienced in the courtroom and at the negotiating table. He has courted neither public limelight nor media attention; instead he has maintained a steady, steady course through routine and complex matters alike. That steadiness has defined his professional life as much as any particular courtroom victory.
As of 2026, Betzner continues to be active in the Pennsylvania legal community. He remains a member of the Pennsylvania State Bar and continues to practice in the state. He currently practices law in Pennsylvania.
