Bark and Bite Included

Erin is a PitBull when it comes to her job. She is active and she is ready to attack when she needs to. Highly educated and knows her FACTS. Erin and Anni have been great through this 6 month ordeal I have been dealing with. Anni has been very attentive and patient-always willing to answer questions ...or clear things up that I did not understand. Erin was about getting things done. During Covid, things were a little different because we weren't actually going to court or actually walking into mediation. However, Erin did not miss a beat. Whenever I had a question or a request she was right on it. She was very transparent with me on why things weren't moving along (my ex's fault), and she was setting things into motion so it could move quicker. I felt like my case could have been drawn out, but I am so happy that Erin had my back because she was able to have every thing settled within four months. Things that were being brought up to settle did not even warrant a conversation because of what the LAW states, something Erin knew that the opposing side didn't realize. She is an expert in her field and I HIGHLY recommend her to anyone that needs services. Even after everything was settled, my ex did some shady things, and ERIN WAS ON TOP OF IT! I cannot thank her enough for having my back, and guiding me through this difficult time I was going through. Thank you so much Erin and Anni!

Outstanding Service

Erin Wilson provided me with sound advice and did not cut corners. She was up front and honest in her advice and consulting. My case was handled above board and with honesty which I'm happy to say was victorious. Though my case took a little longer than I had hoped, it was handled correctly and witho...ut fear of any loop holes will come back to haunt me. Thank you Erin for your great expertise and professionalism. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking a divorce. Case Closed.

Competence, Collaboration, and Compassion

I engaged Erin's representation for my divorce proceedings in 2011, and she continues to represent me today. She has exceeded all professional expectations in every aspect of my divorce, from the original filing, to child support, to custody issues. She has consistently exceeded all my expectations..., and done so with a level of compassion that makes me feel she is always on my side. She is always provides objective advice (which has always proved to be correct, whether or not I took it), while allowing me to have the final say. When she disagrees with how I want to proceed, she lets me know why she disagrees, but is always supportive of my decision and executes without hesitation and with 100% effort . Erin is a rock star, and the way she goes about her practice demonstrates her understanding that family law is an emotionally intensive practice. She excels at navigating the balance between counseling the best course of action and consideration of the potential emotional impact inherent in all family law matters. I have recommended her services both proactively and to anyone who has asked me for a referral, and I personally could not be more satisfied with the decision to engage her as my counsel.

Smart and Dedicated Advocate

I worked with Erin on a highly challenging divorce with complex custody and financial issues. She always gave excellent advice, was a star in the courtroom and acted with integrity. Erin is a smart and savvy advocate for her clients. Her persistence, legal abilities and sheer hard work saved my fami...ly.

You'll Be Glad to Have Her on Your Side

I was more than pleased with the legal services provided to me by Erin Wilson and her colleagues. She was honest and straightforward, knowledgeable, and impressive in the court room. I felt like she always struck the right balance between reassuring me when things were difficult while still "telling ...it to me straight." She was always extremely prompt and responsive in communications, even after my case was no longer active, and she was willing to be flexible with my payment options after my divorce was final. All in all, if someone came to me looking for a divorce or custody lawyer, I'd recommend Erin in a heart beat -- having her as my attorney made me feel like I had a powerful yet human advocate during an extremely difficult and painful time in my life.
