Erika Nicole Salter

I had to take some time out of my busy day to write a few things about Erika and her office. I came from El Salvador when I was 8 yrs old. My mom petitioned for me and I got my papers that way. Growing up I started to hang out with the bad crowd. I started drinking and doing drugs. I thought I could...n't get in trouble because I was a legal permanent resident and then in 2012, I was arrested for some drugs. I was given probation for that case and thought that was the end of it. When I went to check in a few months ago, an ICE officer was waiting for me and arrested me, saying that they were going to deport me because of the crimes I had committed. I was very surprised! They took me to jail and I thought I was going to be on a plane to El Salvador soon. Luckily my mom found Erika and she fought hard for me. She spoke to me over the phone about 10 times to prepare me for the difficult process. Once the big day came and I faced the judge for the last time, I was surprised that not only attorney Erika showed up at court, but one of her other attorneys as well. I knew it was going to be really difficult to win, but Erika did a great job. The judge did not make a decision the same day, rather asked us to return the following day. Erika won my case!!!! I was released the same day and now I'm back home with my mom and brothers. I learned a hard lesson, but I'm glad God put Erika in our path. She's well worth the money!!!!
