Review

I hired Attorney Eraca to represent me in a traffic matter during my probationary period when I was in danger of losing my driving privledges. She kindly kept me informed of the process and even went as far as to let me know what I could expect in the future if my driving habits did not change.

Criminal defense lawyer | May 04

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I hired Nancy to appear for me on a matter in Chemung County when I was in a pinch. Her knowledge and contacts in the area are second to none. She has such unique insight into the area that she basically built the foundations of my own case. My client was impressed with her per diem representation, and it reflected well on me. When I appeared on the following court date, I met with Nancy at her office, and I was truly amazed by her passion and kindness. I can't wait for the opportunity to work with Nancy again. I highly recommend and endorse Nancy Eraca when you need a trustworthy attorney you can depend upon."

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.
