About Erica
Biography
I am a post conviction and appellate criminal defense attorney. My office is located in Greenbelt, but I practice throughout the State of Maryland and the District of Columbia. I've been a licensed attorney for fourteen years. Of course I believe in advocating zealously for my clients in the courtroom, but I also believe part of my job is to keep you well informed about what is going on in your case. Being involved in a criminal case can be initimidating, dealing with your lawyer shouldn't be. I won't always tell you what you want to hear. I will be direct and honest. I accept collect calls and consultations are free.

Erica has positively changed the outcome of my life
Words can not describe how amazing Erica is! Erica has been working with my family for a couple years now and I am always the first to know when something about my case happens.
