No-nonsense and results oriented

Attorney Erwin is a consummate professional who continually displays mastery of his craft. Far from a “by the numbers” approach, he leverages broad experience and extensive resources to go above and beyond for his clients. He sets realistic expectations and fights hard for the desired outcome. I was ...extremely pleased with his services and would not hesitate to recommend him unequivocally.

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.
