Erica Nicole Burns

If I could give her no stars, that would be more fitting. We hired Erica for an adoption case. She was very friendly and would answer immediately when we first began speaking with her last summer. We decided to hire her, and soon after - we weren't able to get a hold of her. Until finally, we didn't ...hear from her at all anymore. As we found out, she took a job elsewhere and just left the firm. Our case was one she dumped on the only other lawyer in the practice (the owner of the business) who lives in LA. He also got slammed with all the other cases that she decided not to continue with. We made an agreement on our case cost with Erica which we later found out she didn't specify in her general contract, so our agreement with her wasn't honored, and we ended up having to pay 1k more than we agreed. Not to mention, our case got put on a back burner b/c of the workload the remaining lawyer had, so it took us an entire year for the adoption to be complete. We waited 8 months after the court approval of termination of parental rights, just to get an adoption court date that worked with the lawyers schedule. Erica's assistant was the only reason our case got handled after everything. What Erica did was irresponsible, careless, and unprofessional. She left us feeling like we didn't matter and our case didn't matter, and left us all with a big mess to try and sort out. I would never recommend her to anyone.
