Very professional and helpful

They helped me with a prenuptial agreement ahead of my wedding. They were helpful in explaining the process and all implications. I highly recommend them for your family law needs.

Exceptional Law Firm!

I contacted Erin Wilson Law firm after years of separation and I was looking for a lawyer that had many years of experience with families, as well as good reviews. I wanted to finalize my divorce for a long time, but until I met Erin I did not feel other lawyers understood me, my case, and did not ...give me the answers I needed for my unique situation with our children. Erin and her team gave above and beyond what I expected, related to service and time spent explaining the process to me. I consulted with her staff, explained my unique situation and then hired her. Now that I have concluded my case, I have found the process was efficient, practical, and professional. Thank you!

Highly Recommend

When our family needed strong representation, we called Erin. Erin Wilson came highly recommended and from the very first meeting we knew we could count on her and her firm to do their absolute best to see to a fair and clear plan moving forward with a parenting agreement. We felt like she understood... our particular situation and moved quickly to start the process with us and her associates communicated regularly through the entire 5 months. We never regret this decision to have Erin represent our family.

Scam - 1 Year Paying Vampiric Bottom Feeding Services

In short, this scam is a "forced service" upon citizens and system to fleece families. Erin's Wilson's services can best be described as "Vampiric Bottom Feeding" Beware, highly advise checking anywhere for anyone else aside from Erin Wilson for your family court needs. Do your research. Do your ...family a favor and use anyone else in this world, you will be better off. Top Adjectives to Describe My 1 year of "service" from Erin Wilson. 1. Bias. (systemic discrimination or marginalization of Men and Fathers while unjustly and disproportionately favoring Women and Mothers & is therefore unable to sample data in a scientific/non opinionated fashion) 2. Caustic. (sows discord) 3. Incendiary Agent. (purposely starts fiery email chains to collect cash from the discord that arises, remember she charges per email and to read emails, so why not start "big email storms" to profit right? ) 4. Willfully Blind. (a willfully blind eye towards hard facts via scientific proof and insisted on sampling only one side of a family and including only that side of the families information in her "official reports" while utterly ignoring the other side of the families information entirely and not even sampling it or including it in her reports. Real fair huh? Would you want to pay for that? I know I wouldn't if I could avoid it, so here is your warning.) All of the above and all of my experiences with Erin Wilson for over 1 year, makes it abundantly clear that Erin Wilson has a vested interest in keeping resolution out of the court room so she may profit off the discord of already broken families. Have absolute concrete re-peat examples that span more than a year of Erin Wilson's bias, caustic, incendiary agent nature behavior that is willfully blind. It is clear stall tactics, all so that the vested interest in keeping resolution out of the courtroom for the longest period of time possible, so the profit off of family discord can drain at the maximum amount for the most prolonged period of time. Run run fast as you can in the other direction and for the love of God, there are many many other choices out there for family law, so pick any one of them and you and your poor family will be better off. If you pay attention you will notice extremely low score/poor reviews for Erin Wilson across other on line platforms, (average 2.5 out of 5 stars on Yelp for example) it just appears shiny on the Google review surface level, but do look deeper for your own families sake and for your own finances. Please contact me directly as I am able to discuss my experiences and opinions in very specific detail, while you will likely get the blanket CYA from Erin Wilson as she is unable to speak about cases to the public without breach. So please, do feel free to contact me as I was a fleeced "client" with her very poor excuse for a firm. If it was possible to give a Negative Star or Half a Star, it would be more appropriate. If I have warned and stoped even just one single family from falling into this "trap pit of despair" then I have done by job with this review. Sincerely. Alexander D. Sugg
