Posted by anonymous | August 17, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Family

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.

A light in a time of darkness

Kathy was with out a doubt a great attorney. She is very caring, understanding and professional in her advise during a very difficult time in someones life. I would with out hesitation recommend Kathy as a divorce attorney.

Lowering or cancelling spouse support

Ms. Erickson contacted me so fast that I had hardly entered the information in to ask for a lawyer and my phone was ringing with her on it. She was very in depth in her questions and answers and called me back the next day with advice after she checked on my situation. I am EXTREMELY pleased with ho...w knowledgeable, polite and efficient she was in answering my question. with one phone call, she saved me over $300.00 a month. IF I end up going to court over this matter in the future, I plan on retaining Ms. Erickson. This was the BEST $40 bucks I have spent in many many years. Thank you AVVO and Ms. Erickson

child custody

After talking to Kathy for the 1st time, I was able to put my fears about choosing the wrong attorney to rest. Being from Oklahoma & having to fight in Texas court over custody of my 3 step children was scary. Not knowing anyone that could recommend me someone in the McKinney area, I relied on Avvo. ...Kathy was a blessing. She made us feel like we were her only clients. From recommending us another attorney for my husband's side to holding my grandmother's hand on her case, Kathy was more than i could've asked for. I highly recommend Kathy!

I am a big fan of Kathy Erickson

I was in a really poor emotional place going through my divorce. Kathy was not only a very professional lawyer, but also someone that really made me feel at ease with what was happening. We were able to get everything complete within 70 days and the process was fairly smooth for me. Honestly, I don't... know what to say other than she did a great job. I would recommend her to anyone for divorce attorney services.

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."
