Amazing Results!

I hired Erin after our consultation because I could tell from the beginning she really cared about my situation. She asked very detailed questions and for the first time I felt I was speaking to someone who was going to advocate for me. I was facing a felony charge in Collin county and to make ma...tters more complicated, I no longer live in Texas. I have lived out of state for 3 years. Erin even offered to meet with my family members in Texas after our consultation because I could not be there to actually meet her in person! Erin made no promises about the outcome of my case and laid out the possible end results. I have done many things to better my life since the incident in 2016 but I still did not know which way this case was going to go. I was very scared but I felt confident in Erin from day one. She laid out her plan for my case and executed it perfectly. In the end, my case was dismissed. I hired Erin after meeting with many attorneys and I hired her to replace an attorney that took my money and did nothing for me. Having been mislead by my first attorney, I was understandably hesitant to hire another but I am so happy I found Erin. Erin, I am forever grateful to you for helping me out. I have a fresh start and I can continue forward making a better life for myself.

Ms. Hendricks is as diligent and professional as they come in addition to being a fantastic person. She took into account my wide array of concerns and walked me through every step of the process providing me with the needed peace of mind and hope for my future. She gave me realistic expectations and... made my case a priority of hers; she was constantly available for communication and questions. I would absolutely recommend Erin to friends, family, and colleagues. Erin guided me through a very difficult time and advocated for me and was able to arrive at the best possible situation for my case. I am extremely pleased with her services and can not thank her enough for standing by my side through the process.

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.
