Eric Cantor is a Brooklyn native who brings a high level of energy and a client-first mindset to his work at Horowitz Law. Since joining the firm, he has focused exclusively on representing survivors of sexual abuse, with a particular emphasis on the complexities of clergy abuse litigation.

Eric believes that clear communication is the most important tool he can offer his clients; he makes sure they are informed and empowered at every step of the process. With a legal education from St. John’s University and a background in high-stakes service initiatives, Eric combines aggressive litigation skills with a genuine desire to see his clients find the justice they deserve. He doesn’t just see himself as their lawyer, he sees himself as a dedicated advocate who won’t stop fighting until the institutions that enabled abuse are held accountable.
