Erika L. Bierma

Personally, she’s personable, to persons. As for her job, she may be crafty and intelligent, but does the bare minimum. It’s obvious she’s a total procrastinator. Had a restraining order case she completely fumbled. Should have wiped the butter off her hands before court. At least she was dressed wel...l. The way she portrayed things, she did no favors. She had a full text log between the petitioner and defendant so everything was there for her. There was no reason for Judge Frost (crook) to issue a max duration restraining order as well. He did anyways against the recommendation that there be no restraining order issued as none of the criteria were met (they weren’t). Two things to work against here. Had she been proactive with the case and not so distant we could have gone in better prepared opposed to her calling an hour before court started to get things in order. As a result, a case in which the petitioner was doing most of the babble between him and the defendant who was asking to be left alone, the defendant in this case was issued a 4 year restraining order. Very disappointed for the money that was paid. Also had a probation violation case as a result of this. More upset with the officials involved here than the petitioner, p.o. Laura Worthless included. Did not need Erika at all for the probation violation, especially with the song and dance of not understanding how probation works upon revocation, so I don’t know why she stuck around. Wait, never mind I do, she costs more than a high end Vegas escort on New Years per hour. Anyways, I saw red flags early on with her (not following her word of when she’d get back, even when she’d visit) but had no choice but to continue. You’d think she’s solving the next big national criminal case with how busy she seems to be. Anyways I would not recommend her. She is spontaneous, rushed, evasive, and unprepared. Had a bad experience and looks like others here did as well.

I used Erica for my DUI charges. I originally had a public defender that was getting me absolutely nowhere. As soon as I put a retainer down, Erica was quick to get a full discovery which led to many holes in the states charges. I was able to get aquitted of all charges thanks to great legal represen...tation from Erica.

Erika handled our child's delinquency case. She guided us skillfully through a situation that was incredibly frightening and difficult for our family. She was able to speak to our child with clarity and compassion, but included us as parents in as much of the process as legally possible. She answered... our many questions patiently and gave us honest and useful guidance. She also has a good sense of humor, always judiciously employed, which helped us have some much-needed lightness in the midst of a dark time. She was able to achieve a good outcome for the case, which left us all feeling like there really could be a second chance for our child. She understands that children are developmentally very different from adults and deserve a justice system that treats them as such. She is thus a passionate advocate for her younger clients. I am forever grateful to her and I would recommend her to anyone.

Erika not only defended me against criminal charges, she helped me learn about the circumstances in my life that brought me to that point and genuinely cared enough to get me to reach out for help I needed to learn and grow in a healthy way. Erika spent an incredible amount of time and emotional ene...rgy defending me and reaching the most favorable result possible. I recommend Erika to everyone. You could not ask for a more knowledgeable and caring advocate.

Erika helped me through a very difficult time in my life after I was arrested for my second OWI. She was very knowledgeable of the laws and other information pertaining to my specific situation, and we had a sound plan for the case shortly after our first meeting. Thanks to Erika, I didn't have t...o set foot in court until my final plea hearing. She handled all the necessary paperwork and went to court for me during the initial proceedings. Throughout all of this, Erika kept me very informed and responded to any questions I had in a very timely manner. As a result of her hard work my sentence was greatly reduced and the entire procedure was about as stress free as it could have been given the personal circumstances. With constant law changes and tons of paperwork needing to be filed in specific manners, I don't think I would have been able to handle the situation without Erika. Overall, Erika is an excellent lawyer and was very helpful in making the best out of an unfortunate situation. Her passion and dedication for her work shines through and makes her an easy person to relate to and be honest with. Erika truly cared for me, not only for my case but for my overall well being and I'm truly grateful for that. Thank you so much, Ryan
