Experienced A+ DFW Attorney

Mrs. Hendricks is truly one of the best attorneys in the DFW area — hands down. I first hired her in 2018 and most recently again in 2026. Over the years, I’ve worked with several other attorneys, and I can confidently say she stands above the rest. She’s the only attorney I’ve ever trusted with repe...at business. If you’re looking for top-tier representation in Dallas or Collin County, Erin Hendricks is the one to call. She genuinely cares about your well-being and your future, and that level of dedication shows in her work. She even answered my call on a Sunday when I reached out unexpectedly. Professional, responsive, and truly committed to her clients — I highly recommend Mrs. Hendricks.

Best representation possible!

Mrs. Hendricks is seriously the best. I was arrested on a probation violation on a 3rd DWI, which easily could have resulted in my probation being revoked, and prison time. Erin got me infront of a judge within a week, took care of everything, and had me out of jail that very same day. Highly recomme...nd her. She will take such a huge weight off your shoulders with her communication and expertise.

Hire the best

If you need a lawyer who truly listens and goes the extra mile, I highly recommend Mrs. Hendricks. She and her team were dedicated, thorough, and committed to getting the job done. My son has a second chance at life because she took the time to uncover the truth and fight for what was right. Thank... you, Mrs. Hendricks, for your compassion, determination, and integrity. We are forever grateful.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
