Who is Eric Deters?
Eric Deters is one of the “most prolific” trial lawyers according to the Kentucky Trial Court Review.
Eric Deters has tried more civil jury trial than any lawyer in Northern Kentucky.
Eric Deters has been described as: a fighter, passionate, aggressive, reasonable, tenacious and hard working.
Eric Deters is one of the lawyers representing one former Rams player and three fans who are suing the Patriots for cheating in the 2002 Super Bowl.
One thing Eric Deters did say on his website that I’m sure no one would disagree with is this:
“I’m never too busy to take a new case!”
One would think that if you have enough time to represent a few disgruntled fans and a no name player (his name is Willie Gary) that you would not be very busy.
Funny, because it seems that he would be pretty busy from all the cases he has to do to have tried more cases than any other lawyer in Northern Kentucky. (How he got to trying a case about the Pats I have no idea, because it say that he has only been licensed to practice law in Kentucky, Ohio and Florida.)
He listed 23 types of cases he accepts. No where does it say “Sports Cheating.” It doesn’t list “Wrongful Loss” either. Maybe this would fall under “Consumer Fraud,” or “Fraud of Any Kind?” If it doesn’t fit any of those, I suppose it could be lumped in under “General Litigation.”
As it turns out, the lawsuit was filed under fraud, unfair trade practices, and engaging in a ”pattern of racketeering.” Deters was hoping to turn it into a class-action suit for anyone who purchased a Super Bowl ticket, and all members of the Rams staff.
For the good of the country, Deters has now withdrawn the case. He called it an “exercise in futility,” claiming that Matt Walsh, accused of taping the Rams’ practices, would exercise his right against self-incrimination, or, in more universal terms, he would plead the fizith!
But, Deters says he isn’t giving up: ”We’re not giving up on the case. We just want to back off and see what he has to say before we make a move.”
In the meantime, Deters plans on taking up a case against Indiana University for their recruiting violations.*
(*NOTE: Deters isn’t really suing Indiana University. This is simply a joke, mocking the fact that he sued the Patriots for cheating.)
Interestingly, Eric Deters didn’t seem prideful enough in his case against the Patriots to list is as one of his “high profile newsworthy cases” even though it is one of his most newsworthy cases yet.
Eric Deters does have past experience messing with athletes, as he sued Chad Johnson for a raffle fraud (though that one actually had merit behind it).
This, my friends, is Eric Deters:
He does things for the people, not for the publicity.
