Uncontested divorce

I came to Erin after reading that she was "brass tacks". My husband and I had already divided our assets, and I needed an attorney to draft the agreement. She was efficient, asked good questions, and provided practical advice about the process and documents. She did not waste time (and billable ho...urs) trying to be a marriage counselor or mediator, as another attorney had. She provided what I needed, which was plainly stated legal advice. I would definitely recommend her to others.

Avvo Rating

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.
