That's Eric... totally classless, and not above blaming his dead partner for his own legal incompetence.
Over the years, Eric not only let cases go to judgment, including the one by the photographer in the DC area who he stiffed for a few thousand. But he also hired local lawyers, and stiffed them as well.
Eric Parkinson is a lowlife scam artist, and anyone doing business with him is best forewarned.
He's stiffed everyone from vendors to actors to landlords, and many others that have never come forward, likely embarrassed to have been taken by the charlatan.
