Eric had a front-row seat to the legal practice from a young age. Following in the footsteps of his father, but with a desire to make his own mark, Eric joined the Douglas County Attorney’s office after graduating from Creighton University’s School of Law. First, as a law clerk and moving his way through the juvenile and felony divisions, Wells brings 14+ years of trial experience to the Sodoro Law Group. Eric has tried over 20 cases to jury verdict, worked directly with victims and their families, managed juries, prepared witnesses, and successfully argued appeals to the Nebraska Court of Appeals and the Nebraska Supreme Court. His experience provides him a unique perspective as he currently focuses his practice on defending the interests of insurance carriers and self-insured companies.

Eric gives back to his community as well. Eric has been heavily involved with the Children’s Respite Care Center (CRCC) for the last eleven years, most recently as the Board’s Chairman from 2018-2020. He now serves as the Past Chairman and Advisor.

Outside of the office, you will find Eric spending time with his wife Emilie, doing his best to raise their two daughters as future Hawkeyes, and sneaking away to Colorado as often as he can.
