Erica Leigh Chisholm

I had the misfortune of trusting Erica Chisholm of Chisholm Law Firm in Wahpeton, North Dakota, with my disability case. For two years, she told me it was “a slow process” and led me to believe she was actively working on my claim. In reality, she faxed one document and later dismissed it as a “fav...or.” I lost two full years of benefits, backpay, and time I can never recover. She also previously represented my husband in his divorce before I married him—a conflict of interest she never disclosed. That alone should have disqualified her from taking my case. I filed a formal complaint with the North Dakota Disciplinary Board, and they confirmed that action was taken. That speaks volumes about her ethics and professionalism. I will never recommend Erica Chisholm or Chisholm Law Firm to anyone. If you value your time, health, and legal rights, go elsewhere. —D. Springer

I would not recommend this attorney. At first, I thought Erica was polite, compassionate, and professional. I had hired her to assist me in modifying child support and child custody arrangement from a divorce 6 years prior. She thoroughly explained the process and my options. She sent a proposal to m...odify the arrangements based upon his life circumstances (significant wage increase, living thousands of miles away). His response included inaccurate information and personal correspondence that was incomplete. Upon receiving this response from my ex-husband, I provided her with a set of documents to counter, which she stated she had submitted. Upon losing a portion of the case, I spoke to her afterward and said I was surprised the judge ruled that way given the provided documentation. She replied, "Me too." I then received a thousand dollar bill from her 2 months later that she did not inform me of, which I requested an itemized list. I received the list that did not include the response. Afterward, I requested the files and found out that she had lied and failed to submit a counter.
