Knowledgable advice

Brian Erwin did an excellent job representing me in court. He explained every situation thoroughly and made sure I was comfortable with every decision before proceeding.

Brian Irwin

Mr. Irwim has helped my family for many years now and continues to show his loyalty and hard work for us. He has helped us with felony cases, misdemeanors, and DUI's and in every instance the results were better than originally anticipated. Mr. Irwin was very understanding about our situation and com...municated between court dates to keep us updated.

Best attorney

Very professional he gives the best advice during consultation he gives you everything in the raw the good and the bad and I have worked with Mr Erwin previous on the behalf of someone else and he did a great job so I know that he will go above and beyond for what’s best for me and my situation

Posted by Christopher | May 04, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Criminal Defense

Five stars

Mr.Erwin represented me on two separate occasions, both times I was charged with felonies. Under his representation my rights where protected, his professionalism and pursuit of Justice has never been in question. Each time, Mr. Erwin went above and beyond to obtain the best results regarding my best... interests. Hopefully I won't require the assistance of a criminal defense lawyer again, but if I do, Mr. Erwin will be the attorney I'll call. I can't express my gratitude enough!!! Thank You

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
