Posted by Gene | March 11, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Professional, Dillegent, and Responsive

Erin helped me clean up a post-divorce issue that had been lingering for years. What made this issue a bit more complex is that I am no longer a resident of Illinois. Erin came highly recommended by an acquaintance. I could not be more pleased with the outcome in the resolution of this matter. Be...ginning from the initial consultation to the culmination of the issue with the signed judgment, Erin was diligent and communicative. I never had to wonder how the matter was proceeding. She kept me informed and bought the issue in front of the court in a timely fashion. Without question, I would hire Erin again if there was a need for legal services in her area of expertise.

Professional and honest

Erin was very professional, she did a great job with helping me through my divorce, she's also very knowledgeable and compassionate. I would highly recommend her and her firm.

Exceptional

Going through a divorce is hard itself but having the right resources close to you as you go through it is the best thing. Erin was that person for me. She was quick with responding back as I currently reside in another state. She has been a great help throughout the process.

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.

A dedicated attorney

Erin has given me the strength and support throughout this divorce process. Knowing how scared I was at every step of the process Erin has been there to encourage me to speak my truth and was my voice when I could not advocate for myself. Erin is bold and blunt be she does not waste time when it com...es to the case. She moves swiftly but decidedly and works hard for her clients. Erin communicates quickly as I have never had to wait more than a day from her. She often writes back within hours. I would highly recommend Erin for as your family law attorney.
