ABOUT ERIC DETERS
Eric Deters grew up on a farm in southern Kenton County. He learned hard
work from working on the farm from age eight to the age of nineteen. He still
helps put in hay.
He received his high school education from a school like no other in the country - Covington Latin School. It is an accelerated college preparatory school. Eric graduated in 1979 at the age of 15. He received degrees in history and business administration from Thomas More College and his law degree from Salmon P. Chase College of Law. He was the youngest lawyer in the state in 1987.
He has practiced law for 20 years. After becoming partner in the firm his
father founded, he began his own in 1998. He is licensed to practice law in
Kentucky, Ohio and Florida. He also handles cases in Indiana and other states
through special permission.
If there are a few words which summarize Eric’s reputation and attitude as
an attorney, they would be: fighter, passionate, aggressive, reasonable, tenacious
and hard working.
He makes himself available at all times to his clients. He is responsive to
e-mail. He returns calls within 24 hours. This requires returning calls at night up
to 11:00 p.m. and weekends.
Eric credits his work ethic to his upbringing on the farm. He credits his
passion to his Scotch-Irish heritage on his mother’s side and his love of history.
From reading countless historical biographies, Eric learned the value of passion
and persistence. He puts these two virtues to work for his clients. Eric doesn’t
golf. He plays competitive football. The team he quarterbacks is the best full
contact flag football team in Greater Cincinnati.
Once the Chairman of the Kenton County Republican Party and Fourth
Congressional District of Kentucky, Eric is now a Democrat. Fighting for the
underdog as a trial lawyer, caused him to change parties. Republicans blame
trial attorneys for problems they did not cause. He considers himself politically bi-polar. He works 20 hours a day.
Eric is a substitute talk show host on 700 WLW A.M. in Cincinnati, the city's number one station, for hosts which take a day off or are on vacation. His nickname is the Bulldog.
