This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Rental agreement contract

As landlords, we contracted Erica to review our existing lease and modify as she saw necessary. There were definitely a few sections that we were missing in our agreement. She was quick to pick up on that and amend appropriately for any future tenants. She was very prompt in reviewing the lease an...d return the modified version for our review. Her time and cost estimate were very reasonable and competitive. Working with Erica on this small project was an absolute pleasure!

Legal Advice About Insurance Claim

Erica provided me extensive legal advice about issues surrounding a car accident. Specifically how to handle a pip claim. If you have an insurance claim and need help, you should contact Erica. She was very thorough, responsive, and made me feel like someone really cared.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
