Amazing lawyer

I absolutely loved working with Erin! She was very open in our meetings and didn’t sugar coat it, very direct and what she suggested would happen is exactly what happened. Even in court she was quick to object when needed and knew the perfect questions to ask both parties, you could tell she did her ...homework before going before the judge. She was very knowledgeable about the laws, even small ones that I did not know existed. I will recommend her to any and everyone!

Best Recommendation Ever!

Erin was the best recommendation I took for a divorce attorney. She initially did an amazing job with my divorce. She acommodated some less than usual custody requests, explained anything to me I didn't understand and made the divorce as painless as one can be. Unfortunately, a year later I requir...ed further help to modify custody. I called her back knowing she would continue to work hard for me and my children. She did just that. It all ended exactly in my favor thanks to her knowledge of the law, the courtroom and the parties involved. Erin is very easy to talk to, listens to your concerns and makes court less stressful. I will hire again, but hopefully no time soon. Custody junk is no fun for anyone. Thank you!

A Lawyer on the rise, she kicked ass!

Erin was just awesome. The short and sweet of it was I won everything I asked for. Bottom line she's underpaid. Thanks for winning my kids for us! She was worth every penny. Also, thank you Miranda for your help you were awesome as well.

Change of monthly child support

Erin was a good lawyer and worked hard on our case; however, my only criticism is in regards to our lack of knowledge that a federal tax return could be confiscated to pay back child support. This was not conveyed to us. We were led to believe that there was a possibility that it could be returned, ...but opposing council was not cooperative in responding and consequently extra money was spent in trying to get a refund. If it had been known that the tax return could/would be "confiscated" we would have been prepaired and perhaps would not have pursued getting money back, thereby saving the expense of trying to do so.

I lucked out with her.

I went through a fairly typical modification of custody and child support case. Ms. Clegg and her assistant Miranda handled my case promptly, earnestly, and with great empathy. Erin saved the day with a really great schedule suggestion that has ultimately relieved a lot of stress and frustration mov...ing forward. She is really creative and interested in getting her clients not just what they're asking for, but ultimately what is in the best interest of the family. I appreciated her hard work and dedication.
