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.

Excellent

This was the first case I've ever had, Ms. Erin Hendricks was very communicative with me the whole time, walked me through the steps that needed to be done and ended with my case dismissed after only a few short months.

Trustworthy, diligent, compassionate, and hard working

In June 2024, I found myself falsely accused of a crime I didn’t commit, and I had no opportunity to defend myself to law enforcement. To make matters worse, this allegation was tied to a family law matter and was being used as leverage. I had never faced criminal accusations before and was already o...verwhelmed by the family law case. The situation was incredibly stressful, and I was worried not only about the legal implications but also about the potential impact on my custody arrangement with my child. I couldn’t even work due to the stress and uncertainty. I was referred to Erin by a trusted friend who had heard nothing but positive things about her, and from the moment I decided to reach out, I felt confident in my choice. Erin was not just a lawyer; she became an advocate I could truly trust. From day one, I could tell she was invested in my case. She consistently gave 110% effort, and her communication was always clear and easy. She went above and beyond to ensure a favorable outcome for me. If you’re currently searching for a criminal defense attorney, I can’t recommend Erin enough. She is hardworking, trustworthy, and will fight relentlessly for you. Don’t hesitate—choose Erin; you’re in great hands.

An amazing attorney

In the summer of 2023 I found myself in a situation that I never thought myself to be in. I was involved in an incident where there could have been some serious consequences, for others and also me. Luckily no one got hurt but I did spend the night in jail and was facing a serious charge. I feel re...sponsible for what happened and fortunately Erin agreed to represent me. Erin walked me through what may happen, informed me of the worst case scenario and the also the best. She represented me, tried to ease all my concerns which were many, kept me informed on the progress of the case, advised me on all the options that I could pursue, and all the while was very professional in her dealings with me as a client and as a person who needed help. I am so grateful that Erin was there as my attorney from the beginning to the end. And as Erin outlined at the beginning of the process, legally things turned out for the best.

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.
