I highly recommend Erika for your divorce needs

Erika was my divorce attorney for 2 years and she helped me tremendously. My divorce was quite the headache. We were always having to change terms in my agreements, have meetings, and file papers. I asked an endless amount of questions and I'm pretty sure I contacted her at least 5 times a week. She ...never seemed to mind and was always there for me when I needed her. She became a friend, not just my attorney. She even gave me some tough love when she thought I wasn't thinking of my best interests. She's one of the best. And though I hope I'll never need another divorce attorney again, I would hire her again in a heartbeat!

EXCELLENT ATTORNEY - Erika Slater

It was a great pleasure working with Erika Slater, who handled my divorce with skill and professionalism. Because of a number of personal issues, I had to hire her sight unseen. Paramount in my decision to retain her were the excellent AVVO reviews from her clients. What finalized it for me was her w...illingness to explain to my satisfaction the general costs, timeline, general procedures, and several 'what ifs' for my specific situation over the phone BEFORE I became her client. We handled EVERYTHING (initial interview, payments, paperwork, my questions, her status reports) via email or phone. We didn't met until the day of my hearing but I felt totally prepared and thanks to her, I was. When my ex tried to lob a last minute grenade, she hurled it back with deftness and precision. Ah . . . it was a beautiful moment for me. I have already highly recommended Ms Slater to several friends and I'm very happy to submit this most favorable review on her behalf.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"It is no surprise that the reviews for Ms. Slater indicate that she provided her client's with reassurance and comfort. I worked with Ms. Slater where she represented the children in a highly contentious divorce case. She focused on the children's needs without letting the parents or their attorneys sway her opinion without substantial evidence. Ms. Slater objectively listened to both parents and worked very hard on behalf of the children. She is knowledgeable about the law. I highly recommend this attorney and look forward to working with her in the future."

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.
