2+ Weeks Without a Consultation even SCHEDULED

I have attempted to contact this lawyer through her secretary for the past two weeks and counting regarding a consultation. Although she has great reviews, just my experience with her office and her secretary within the last two weeks have made me doubt this lawyer. If your office secretary isn’t org...anized, doesn’t follow up, doesn’t communicate details and can’t even return a phone call in a timely manner, I fear that any case this lawyer takes on would be treated with the same level of disarray and confusion. I’m disappointed that this lawyers reviews do not reflect the behaviors exhibited by her office and office secretary. Very disappointed.

I’m sorry you have had difficulty scheduling a consultation. I pride myself in providing exceptional service to both prospective and current clients and my reviews speak for themselves. You are more than welcome to email me directly to discuss this matter further. [email protected]

My Hero

Erin is really great, She shoots straight, gives worse case scenarios, but fights for the best. She's companionate, understanding, works with you, and even follows up. I had an issue with custody, child support and other related issues that resulted in countless petitions and court dates over a sp...an of 6 years. I consulted with Erin, and she agreed to take my cases when other lawyers told me that I will lose, or they advised me I should just accept things for the way they are. Its very comforting to have a lawyer on your side when you are a single father and it feels like the odds are against you. She even gives great court day wardrobe advice!

Awesome in family law with difficult situations

Ms. Fitzgerald helped me so much with my custody case! She did so much for me in a short time. She has always kept me informed of every aspect of my case and helped me make smart decisions! She is great at what she does!
