I am very grateful for Erin and the team's assistance! No one wants to need a lawyer, but when you need one - you might find it's difficult to find one that will listen. Erin listens and cares. I received a stack of traffic violations one day. All of them required a court appearance. Normally, I w...ould probably just shrug and pay the fines. However, there were multiple well documented events demonstrating multiple failures from multiple government agencies. The various communication and operational breakdowns that occurred were most likely a result of institutional dysfunction caused by the pandemic. Additionally, the fines would be expensive. My insurance would go up and cost me more for years to come. Most importantly to me is the fact that I am a US citizen that married my foreign partner. We have been going through the USCIS immigration process for a prolonged period - also as a result of the pandemic. The immigration process is emotionally and financially challenging. It's even more difficult during a pandemic. Regardless, the last thing we needed was me to plead guilty to a misdemeanor. I was afraid of trying to navigate the process by myself, because a 12 month jail time sentence was technically a possibility - although, unlikely I think. Nevertheless, the situation was complicated and stressful. I tried contacting multiple attorneys. I was surprised at how difficult it was to get a consultation from other attorneys. From my experience, Erin was the most organized, most passionate, honest and intelligent lawyer I spoke with. I had a lot of negative emotions about the situation I was in. Erin was very good at listening, redirecting me and helping me to focus on the priorities. I was so relieved after speaking with Erin that I agreed to hire the EHG Law Firm for my case. The EHG team communicated clearly with me at each step along the way. Their communications were punctual, too. Their communication allowed me to relax and not have as much anxiety as I would have had otherwise. When they needed some clarification about details, they asked me for it. I fully recommend EHG Law Firm 100%. The price was reasonable. My peace of mind was priceless. The results were the best I could have hoped for.

Phenomenal Team !

I was in need of a traffic attorney due to a steep speeding ticket requiring legal help to keep it off my record for insurance purposes. I received my citation just in the beginning of COVID lockdown. Being from out of state I was not sure how everything was going to work because I had to leave and c...ourts not being open may or may not push my court dates back. I contacted multiple attorneys and was not happy with them when I came across Erin she was very understanding, made a plan and discussed how it may be executed and most of all was affordable for my needs. As was expected courts remained closed without further notice but Erin and Ansley continued to keep me well informed via phone and email and stayed on top of it allowing me to be at ease about the situation. They were in-fact able to appeal my case outside of the courts and get my case closed with no impact to my record only paying a small fine. Thank you so much to one of the greatest LAW TEAMS in ATL. ERIN AND ANSLEY and the rest of the EHG Team YOU ROCK !

Great Lawyers!

Working with Erin and Ansley was a very comforting experience. They are super communicative throughout the process and work diligently to ensure the best possible outcome under the circumstances. I would definitely recommend them to anyone in need of legal services.

EHG - the best!

I needed a criminal defense attorney and came across EHG law firm. I decided to give her a call, which was the best decision I had made. Erin was extremely detail-oriented, caring, and so good at what she does that it was clear that I was in great hands. She has a great reputation as a criminal defen...se attorney and cares about her clients —day and night. I was very anxious about my court date but Erin was always there to answer my never-ending questions and worries. She provided great advice and step by step process of my case. Conversations with her were lengthy and full of information. On the day of my court date, Erin was able to get the result we had hoped for: no criminal record and my ticket was changed to the lowest ordinance violation! I will always recommend Erin to anyone in need of a criminal defense attorney in Atlanta. Happy client!

Victory! (Dismissed Traffic Offense (Accident)

Erin is a phenomenal lawyer. She is so educated and good at what she does its hard to go against what she is fighting for. Erin helped my case by getting it dismissed and I am so pleased and thankful. This incident has been weighing so heavy on me for months and its finally over. I’ve been dealing wi...th so much because of my accident and prayed that I would be able to find someone who could help me resolve a big piece of the problem and Erin was the best choice to do so. The best part of this whole process was Erin being available whenever I or my mom needed her. That made us feel very comfortable and at ease that all of our questions and concerns were answered and I knew exactly what was going on with my case because of her involvement. The day of court everything went very smoothly, and happened in a short period of time. She is definitely about her business and a wonderful person to represent her clients. When I say I will AlWAYS use Erin I mean that, and I will ALWAYS recommend her to other clients.

"Erin is, quite simply, one of the very best DUI lawyers in Atlanta. She has the unique ability to disarm prosecutors and negotiate resolutions that most other lawyers would not think possible. In the rare event that she is unable to negotiate a reduction or dismissal of your DUI, you can rest assured that Erin is prepared to fight your case. No one prepares their cases as diligently as her. If you are lucky enough to have Erin as your lawyer, you can rest assured that you are receiving the very best representation possible."

"I have known Erin for over ten years first as a prosecutor and subsequently as a fellow DUI defense attorney. She is truly one of the most brilliant attorneys in our profession. Erin has won numerous unwinnable cases in jurisdictions where most attorneys refuse to go to handle a case. She is a prominent DUI speaker at seminars sponsored by Institute of Continuing Legal Education in Georgia and the National College for DUI Defense. I strongly endorsed Erin Gerstenzang."

"Erin Gerstenzang is the most thorough and well prepared criminal defense and DUI attorney I've ever worked with. Whether resolving a case through a trial or by a plea, I have never known her to give less than one hundred percent of her best efforts for her clients. If there is a better DUI trial lawyer in Georgia, I've not had the pleasure of meeting them."

"Erin is an exceptional attorney. She is committed to precision and preparation in her practice, which translates to her outperforming the prosecution and to her being deeply respected by her colleagues, the Bench, and the District Attorney. She also is the epitome of professionalism- despite gaining great results for her clients, she maintains good relationships with the prosecution despite their jobs being naturally adversarial. As many attorneys can tell you, this is not an easy or common balance to accomplish. Erin cares about her clients and the details of your particular case. She is dedicated to providing the best representation and is well known locally and nationally for her skills in her specialty. You would be wise to retain her for your matter."
