Personable, Knowledgeable, Helfpul and Reliable

Erin Armstrong handled my divorce case which also included custody and child support. She is so personable, compassionate, understanding and non-judgmental that it made the whole process so much more comfortable for me and put me at ease. She is so reliable and what she promises gets done. She follow...s through with any issues and communicates in an extremely clear and upfront manner about what to expect, what could happen, how to handle it, etc. She answered my messages and questions in a timely manner. She is honest, has years of experience and knows the laws of Ohio regarding family law inside and out. Erin was truly a fantastic lawyer to work with and I felt I was very supported during the process of my divorce. I have recommended her to many friends and colleagues and will continue to do so. I am so grateful to how much she has helped me and my child handle a very difficult situation which we can move forward from thanks to her assistance. I would hire her again if needed in the future for any other area of law she handles.

Run don't walk to hire her!

I retained Erin for a complicated divorce. Not only was she able to answer all of my questions, she went above and beyond to ensure that I was prepared for anything that could have been "thrown at us". She knows her state/local/and county laws and regulations unlike any lawyer I have ever seen...even... in court she had to "remind" opposing counsel of things they were not aware of. She approached all of my concerns with grace and compassion but was amazing a fighting for me and my children in court. She is open and honest in her communication with you and you will always know and feel that she truly cares about you as a client...with Erin you are not just a "number" or a "money maker" she is truly invested in helping you navigate through what is often a difficult journey. I recommend her and her services to anyone I know looking for a family law attorney.

Fast and Professional

Erin handled my divorce with speed and accuracy. Erin met with me on New Years Eve for quite a few hours. She drew up the paper work and I was divorced by the end of February. My experience with Ms. Armstrong was pleasant and helpful.

BULL DOG

Erin is by far the most understanding and patiant attorney that I have delt with. She let me speak and let me do what I felt was best for my kids and myself. She knew I just wanted the divorce to be done and over with. She talked to me as a client but also as a person who was having a hard time with ...my seperation. I WILL be using her in the near future to follow up on my case and I will recommend Erin to any one that is looking for a calm, down to earth, but NOT scared to go in and be a bull dog when needed!! Thanks Erin...

Honest and Straight-forward lawyer

I would highly recommend Erin's services. She helped me through the most difficult time in my life and was always able to keep me grounded and looking at the big picture versus the small issues. She took a personal interest in my situation and the well-being of my children. Erin is a the type ...of person that I would be friends with outside of the lawyer/client relationship. It was very easy to relate with her and that was extremely important to me. Your lawyer learns more about you than your best friends and feeling comfortable with them makes the whole process easier. Going through a divorce is definately not fun. Not only are you dealing with the break-up of your relationship or family, but the legal system can be very intimidating. Erin kept me well informed of the process so that I knew what to expect at each step. Not worrying as much about the process was a relief.
