hire Erin!

Posted by

I highly recommend Erin Masters! Would definitely hire her again and recommend to others! Erin helped me with a divorce case, and I couldn't be more grateful! Not only did I feel heard and understood, Erin also effectively conveyed what I should be doing or thinking about doing, when to stop, when to move forward, vs. telling me only what I wanted or needed to hear. She was the voice of reason through the entire process. Needless to mention, the basics of any service provider - timely communication, availability, and billing transparency - were all there. Thank you!

Quick and effective

Posted by

Erin helped me quickly enter an order to enforce my parenting time. My ex-wife had been withholding our daughter stating she would continue to withhold her until the Coronavirus pandemic was finished. Needless to say, I was very concerned that I would not see my daughter for months, and the courts were closed with exception to emergencies. Erin worked quickly to get my ex to agree to enforcing the time. She worked so quickly, in fact, that I was able to have my parenting time (with make up time) the very next weekend. Very impressed and pleased.

Wouldn't have anyone else represent me

Posted by

Wouldn't have anyone else represent me other than Erin and Anthony. My child support case is a doozy and let me tell you my ex husband hasn't been the easiest or nicest person to deal with along with his wife. That being said Anthony has made sure I wouldn't have any issue with them (nasty emails from them, threats, ECT.) Has even dealt with my ex's lawyer requesting an emergency petition on a days notice! He made sure to that I was represented! Erin and Anthony really make it a point that they are there for you no matter what! Any questions or concerns they are there! They only want what's best for you and your family. I can not thank them enough for everything they do and have done!

Gets the job done everytime!!!

Posted by

I went to Erin after I realized I couldn’t finish my divorce on my own (it was dragging for a year at that point). She took action right away and my divorce was settled 3 months later! I got everything I wanted in my settlement, which was to keep my kids and home! Over the next 3 years, my ex would drag me to court over and over again over bogus accusations and every single time, Erin saved the day and won each case back to back! This woman is a blessing! She knows the law very well and also went after him for her fees that I incurred because they were a result of his lies! After hiring numerous lawyers and losing each case he filed, he finally gave up because he realized no lawyer is a match for Erin!

ADVICE to those considering a Divorce Lawyer

Posted by

My marriage ended abruptly after 27 years. I turned to a Chicago lawyer that was highly rated. Let me tell you, NOT all lawyers are created equal. Many tell you what you want to hear. They are so good at it, I felt the man I chose to represent me, being higher priced then the average, assured my advantage. I WAS WRONG! Take my advice please, and save yourself from having to shop twice, and paying out double retainers. Finding the right divorce lawyer is CRITICAL to maintaining your parental rights, and your finances. THE MASTERS LAW FIRM was heaven sent. Erin and Anthony are first rate lawyers who fight to the end. They are true professionals, trustworthy and compassionate about their work. You will not feel "pushed aside" after you submitt your retainer. They will answer all your questions, and develope a strategy that allows you to retain your dignity when accusations start to fly. Do not settle for 2nd best. I highly recommend this law firm. You will come to realize their true value in the courtroom. They are in your corner, and you could not be in better hands. Thank you Erin & Anthony! My very best wishes for a Happy Holliday! Regards, Mark C.

Recommendation

Posted by

I recommend Erin Master. She is someone who is truly on your side. I had a complicated case but she was able to have it completed from start to finish less than 10 months. Erin follows up on all emails or phone calls in a timely matter. Her invoices are clear and nothing is hidden. She was always willing to answer any of my questions or explain "lawyer language" to me. I highly recommend Erin Masters.

Petition under Hague Convention

Posted by

I had a very difficult case in the United States Federal Court. My ex husband filed a Petition against me under the Hague Convention on Civil Aspects of International Child abduction asking to return our two sons to Lithuania. Seeking for the legal representation, I was advised by the U.S. Department of State to contact lawyer Erin E. Masters. I was so lucky to have the team of the best lawyers Erin E. Masters and Anthony G. Joseph representing me in this difficult trial. They represented with the highest standards of law, but also provided support and empathy through the process. The communication was fantastic, always answered every question, explained every situation and possible outcome. As it was a very fast track case, Erin and Anthony worked hard including weekends to prepare everything for the hearing. There was only one hearing and the Decision was totally in my favor. All my family, especially the kids, are very grateful! It is also fair to mention that the legal expenses for the amount of services provided was very very reasonable. Taking in mind my difficult financial situation, Erin even agreed to provide the service for the reduced fee. I will gladly recommend Erin Masters and Anthony Joseph to represent any of my friends and family in need of an excellent and highly professional family attorney.

Fantastic attorney!

Posted by

I was introduced to Erin by another attorney.  I was immediately impressed with her professionalism and approachability.  I hired her to assist me with a pre-marital agreement roughly 4 months before my wedding.  Erin was very knowledgeable about the existing Illinois statue and I felt very comfortable having her represent me.  Erin and I communicated via email, text and phone calls at all hours due to my hectic travel schedule. She maintained the highest level of availability to answer my questions; both from a legal point of view, as well as identifying what was realistic and practical.  She did all of this while she was 8 months pregnant preparing for her first child!  Erin will go above and beyond to make sure the job gets done well and with precision.  I will gladly recommend Erin and her law firm to represent any of my friends and family in need of an excellent and highly responsive family attorney.  I look forward to following her career and watching her succeed.

Nicholas Baker, Child custody Attorney on Sep 18, 2015
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

I had the pleasure of recently working with Erin as opposing counsel in a very contested matter. Through it all, Erin demonstrated both her ability to not only litigate ferociously when needed but also her ability to negotiate, compromise, and find common ground between two parties that were set on trial. In the end, we were able to reach settlement, thanks in large part to her outstanding work. Her reputation certainly was not overstated.

S. Ingram, Divorce and separation Attorney on Sep 18, 2015
Relationship: Friend

I endorse this lawyer.

Marvin Mendez, Family Attorney on Sep 18, 2015
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

I have known Erin for over 14 years. She has always been truthful, direct and reasonable, whether its in her capacity as an opposing counsel or child representative. While she is not hesitant to take a case to trial, she generally opts for a negotiated settlement in an effort to reduce the costs and reach an amicable and expeditious resolution. I endorse Erin Masters.

Michael Alvarado, Family Attorney on Sep 18, 2015
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

Mario Godoy, Family Attorney on Sep 18, 2015
Relationship: Worked together on matter

I endorse this lawyer. I find that she is very knowledgeable in family law. She is a trusted source within that community as she is appointed on certain cases by other Family Law Judges.

Marc Bangser, Family Attorney on Sep 18, 2015
Relationship: Worked together on matter

Erin is without a doubt one of the most thorough, caring and outstanding lawyers I've ever had the privilege to work with. I've known her for over 10 years as we attended law school together, and now being able to work with her in the family law field is a great experience. As a GAL or representing parties, besides Bennett & Bangser (sorry Erin!), you couldn't pick a better advocate to represent your interests. I wholeheartedly endorse her.

Mohammad Ramadan, Family Attorney on Aug 4, 2015
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
