"I have had the pleasure of working directly with Erika previously in a business litigation firm and have relied upon her advice in my own practice to find assistance for clients who need legal advice outside of my area of practice. Erika is one of the best probate/social security lawyers in the area and also has a flourishing criminal defense practice. Erika has a detailed understanding of the social security system and has extensive experience representing defendants in criminal matters across the state of Ohio. Erika has always handled herself with the utmost professionalism and confidence. She always strives to achieve the best results for her clients. I highly recommend this lawyer."
