Best lawyer ever

I hired Ericka Battle in 2018 for a charge I had in chesterfield, she was absolutely amazing to work with, and got my charged dismissed! She took my case very serious and she really fights hard for her clients!

Fantastic

Ms. Battle and her assistant Ms. Hershey were great to work with. The charges were dropped and my case was dismissed. It would not have happened without their guidance and experience. I highly recommend Ms. Erika Battle.

Professional, Compassionate and Diligent

Ms. Battle was effective in securing an Order of Protection to protect me from my spouse and was diligent in having false and malicious charges he filed against me dropped. She and her Assistant, Kristalyn, showed great compassion as I reported the weekly (and sometimes daily) terror suffered.

Ericka Battle is WONDERFUL

This is the second time Ms. Battle has represented me, and I could not be more pleased with the outcome. NOT GUILTY. She is sophisticated, professional, and very poised. If you hire Ms. Battle you will not be disappointed. Thank you Ericka!!!!

Ericka battles for you!

Ms Battle did not do a whole lot of communicating with me during the trial or on the phone... I was concerned she may have been neglecting me.... But in reality she was in the courtroom, outside of it and everywhere in that courthouse pushing for my charges to be dismissed....She was diligent and tho...rough when it came to doing the things she said she would.My case was a case of me being in the wrong place and catching some raw charges ... I explained it one time to Ms Battle and the case went my way. Thank you so much Ms Battle... You the Woman!! Sincerely Robert

  • 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.
