Excellent attorney

Erin helped me in my custody case. She is straight forward and tells you exactly what you can expect. I like her honesty and reputation. She presented my case the way it should have been and gave me the best advice possible. Highly recommended.

Excellent

Ms. Fitzgerald represented me in a complex custody battle that involved several jurisdictions. As a military father I only seen my daughter a handful of times since birth even though I made countless attempts. Erin's knowledge in Family Law and her effort towards fighting for me alone would warrant ...top ratings regardless of the outcome. However, Erin was able to get me primary placement of my daughter. Erin was my 4th attorney and by far the best.

A great lawyer

Erin was straight with me from day one and helped me through my custody battle perfectly. I would recommend her to anyone, she is a great person and an awesome lawyer. I never had any doubts about her ability as a lawyer or her effort to perform in my case.

Great Attorney.

I've worked with Erin Fitzgerald for about 3 years now. She's helped me with establishing Custody not just once but twice and represented me very well in court. She's also helped me with the Child Support portion. She's never steered me wrong and always gave me good advice. She's helped me out as... much as she could (considering my case).

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!
