Profile
Erich Tomkinson is one of the litigation attorneys located in our Los Angeles office and has been with HPI for nearly a decade. Erich has litigated hundreds of cases over the course of his career in various state and federal courts across California.
Erich has obtained several major case results up into the 7 figures including an $8,000,000 settlement on a bicycle v. premises liability case which was recognized as the #1 settlement out of the entire State of CA in 2022 for any case of its kind. Read about it here.
After graduating from the University of California Santa Barbara, Erich began working full time for HPI while attending Santa Barbara College of Law at night. Erich’s passion for the law is rooted from his longtime hobby of writing as he received the Witkin Award for highest academic achievement in legal writing from his law school in 2015. During his personal injury career, Erich has handled hundreds of cases in every phase of a personal injury case’s lifetime from the time of intake all the way through jury trial and verdict.
Other than helping injured people seek justice, Erich enjoys writing and recording music during his spare time.
