Erika L. Bierma

I contacted her three days before I was due in court for a criminal case. I know this was short notice, but she accepted my case without hesitation. Erika understood my situation immediately and was so helpful and compassionate throughout my case. She was my lifeline from beginning to the end. Her de...dication to my legal issues were incredible and her knowledge in WI law was impeccable. This was a difficult time for my family and Erika's professionalism helped beyond belief, a truly THOUGHTFUL and CARING attorney. My family and I want to thank her and would recommend her to anyone seeking legal counsel.

Erika was BEYOND professional, not to mention her knowledge in criminal law is impeccable. Ive had her for about 4 years now. She also is helpful with any and all questions I had with any other legal matters outside my direct case. Her legal strategies SAVED ME. She made everything so comfortable to ...discuss and work through. I was nervous when searching for a lawyer, since it is my life and situation in their hands, and I would never go to another attorney for advice or defense again. Erika Bierma is EXACTLY what everyone needs in an attorney and more! Definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone on your side. She took the courtroom in her hands each time. (And her legal team was there for me 24/7 in-between.) Complete support through everything. I cannot thank them enough.

My family and I cannot recommend Axley, and specifically the legal services of Erika Bierma, more strongly. Erika’s professionalism, work ethic, dedication to her clients, and exceptional skill as a defense attorney softened the immense stress and difficulty of more than one legal issue for my family.... She achieved sentencing outcomes so favorable we didn’t even consider them possible, all while providing a guiding hand through the complexities of the legal process. Since 2016, our family has worked on various occasions with Erika to navigate legal issues stemming from substance abuse. Through all this, she was compassionate, straightforward, and clearly communicated all possible paths forward. She has a deep understanding of and empathy for the wide range of emotions that her clients experience while dealing with these sensitive issues. Further, she is well-versed and excellently connected to resources, including therapists, counselors, and recovery programs, throughout the area. Erika and her team, most notably her assistant Paula Mueller, are incredibly responsive to calls, emails, and texts. Every question, every worry, every clarification you ask about is answered promptly. It’s hard to believe this level of quick, clear, and compassionate communication could be found with any other attorney or firm. A five star review isn't nearly enough. My family and I cannot recommend her with more enthusiasm and gratitude. -- Teresa Darcy, MD

Erika's services have proven to be exemplary and of great service to me over the last year. She is an amazingly skilled and proficient criminal defense attorney. Her quality of law practice is beyond compare, and she has been an incredible help and invaluable asset in my time of need.  I found mys...elf in a difficult legal position, facing numerous charges for the first time in my adult life. She helped me understand the process of representation and defense in both an easy and helpful way, all the while displaying a friendly, compassionate, and down-to-earth attitude about her. She went above and beyond to ensure that I would receive the best possible outcome in my situation, ultimately achieving dismissals in all of the charges I faced.  Erika has set me up for success and the possibility of a better future. Myself and my loved ones are forever indebted to her for her assistance. I highly recommend Erika Bierma as an attorney at law. 

I hired a different attorney for a serious case, and I was offered multiple years in prison as a plea, and there was no room for negotiation. I dropped that lawyer and hired Erika, and she was somehow able to negotiate a plea deal of straight probation. Furthermore, I hired her with no expectations b...esides that it couldn't possibly get any worse, and she delivered the seemingly impossible. If you are dealing with a family violence case or anything of the sort, I wouldn't trust anyone other than Erika, and I would recommend her to anyone.
