Eric A. Wright

Eric A. Wright, a distinguished partner at Wright Gray Harris, operates from two bustling offices in New Orleans, Louisiana, and an office in Memphis, Tennessee. With a rich history in handling auto and trucking incidents, wrongful death suits and catastrophic injury cases, he has a proven track record of securing millions for those he represents. His remarkable skills have earned him recognition, notably in June 2018, when Lawyers of Distinction celebrated his achievements in personal injury law in The New York Times.

Despite the demanding nature of legal work, Mr. Wright thrives on the chance to amplify the voices of those often unheard. His commitment lies in addressing both the legal and emotional needs of his clients, drawing upon over 25 years of trial wisdom to deliver steadfast outcomes. His journey into law was sparked by a personal encounter with injustice – when a family member faced false murder charges, he witnessed firsthand the dual nature of the legal system to both oppress and empower the powerless. This pivotal moment fueled his resolve to wield the law with integrity. Although his focus has shifted from criminal defense to personal injury, his mission remains steadfast: to champion justice.

Born and raised in New Orleans, Mr. Wright is an alumnus of Xavier University and Tulane University Law School, where he earned his Juris Doctorate in 1998. He is actively involved with the Louisiana State Bar Association, the National Bar Association, the American Association for Justice, the Lawyers of Distinction, the Louisiana Association for Justice and the Federal Bar Association. His legal practice spans the state of Louisiana (since 1999) and the United States District Courts for the Eastern, Middle and Western Districts of Louisiana.

Beyond his professional realm, Mr. Wright is a member of First Pilgrims Baptist Church and is deeply engaged in community service as a member of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity. He has mentored young minds, participated in annual school supply drives and supported scholarship funds that pave the way for high school seniors heading to college.
