This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Highly Recommend

Attorney Kathy Erickson is a professional on every level. She is fair, upfront, honest and sincere. She handled my case with the highest concern for myself and my child. Her knowledge about the legal system is unparalleled and her compassion and understanding for her clients is profound. It's rare to... find a lawyer who not only represents you well, but has a natural ability to connect with you on a personal level. That understanding is crucial in achieving the best outcome possible for all involved.

Wise counselor. Excellent judge of character. Fierce defender of children.

Kathy Erickson's experience with problematic personalities helped me confirm my suspicions that I had married a covert and manipulative abuser. She accurately predicted my ex's behaviors during the divorce process and helped me navigate a minefield of control tactics and protect my children. Kathy'...s investigative and documentation skills ultimately helped me expose my ex's true character to the court. I highly recommend her to anyone who is trying to defend their children from an abusive parent.

Simply the best!

After three and a half years with a large family law firm and my ex spouse successfully getting continuance after continuance I was referred to Kathy. What a blessing! She watched over me like a mother bear over her cub. I simply couldn’t be happier with her handling of my case and it’s ultimate outc...ome! Exceptionally strong work! I highly recommend Kathy!

Honest, straight forward

Kathy and her staff helped me thru a difficult and long process of my divorce. She set my expectation and fought hard for me and my child to help me re-establish my family

"I endorse this lawyer. Kathy and I worked on a difficult divorce case involving contentious parties, characterization of small business and real property interests, and division of marital property.

Divorce and separation lawyer | Jul 08

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I endorse Kathy. She is very professional and ethical, but she represents her clients aggressively and passionately. Also, she is very knowledgeable of the law and uses that knowledge (along with her vast experience practicing law) to provide her clients with a distinct advantage going into trial or mediation. Further, in the case i had against her, she was easy to work with, communicated very well and was very creative in coming up with settlement terms acceptable to both of our clients."

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Ms. Erickson and I were on opposite sides of a marriage dissolution matter. She represented her client vigorously, effectively, and ethically. She worked diligently on her side of the case to bring about resolution to the conflicts that separated the parties and in all ways conducted herself in a manner that demonstrates that attorneys can be good and do well at the same time."
