Attorney that cares about her clients. Will provide them excellent representation.

Erin helped me with a Corporate and personal bankruptcy. It was very emotional for me, but with her help I was able to get through the process. She is a wonderful communicator with her clients and will always put your needs first. I can't say enough good things about Erin and would recommend her to... anyone that needs legal representation.

Excellent service!

I have definitely been surprised with the treatment I have received, how easy the whole process has been, every question I have had was answered and all doubts clarified. Miss. Shank is the sweetest person I have ever met, very professional and human. The impression I received when I met her was as i...f I had known her all my life. It has been a privilege for me to call her "my lawyer" and I am very grateful for all the help she gave me, in short I will never forget the experience in such a way that I recommend to anyone who needs to file for bankruptcy to acquire the services of Miss. Shank. She has the most qualified team of assistants and I do not fail to mention my thanks also to Melissa Ritchie, for all the help and patience with which she answered my calls and answered my emails. Thank you, I am very happy! therefore from now on I recommend the services of Miss. Shank, because satisfaction is 100% guaranteed.

Erin Shank and Her Staff Are Wonderful!

I cannot tell you how much Erin Shank along with her paralegals Melissa and Sally helped me through such a difficult time. I highly recommend her and her team for bankruptcy services. They have given me a fresh start that I so desperately neeeded.

Best Bankruptcy attorney in all of Texas

I hired Erin B.SHANK to help me with a chapter 13 bankruptcy. Erin and her staff were courteous and respectful, I was feeling a great deal of shame over my situation and Erin helped me to realize sometimes bad things happen to goodo people. Erin and her staff kept in touch frequently and worked aro...und my crazy work schedule. Even after the case was discharged someone filed a frivolous law suite that could have cost me tens of thousands of dollars plus attorney fees. Erin filled the appropriate papers ( she hast vast amounts of experience and a state of the art computer system) anyway the case was dismissed and I am on my way to rebuilding my life. I recommend anyone out there seeking the most experienced and competent bankruptcy attorney to call Erin B.Shank. I couldn't be happier with my decision to call her.

Very Thorough!

Erin Shank helped my dad and I work through the intricacies of his very complicated bankruptcy. There were a lot of moving parts and at times I felt overwhelm. When I left her office, I felt relief because we had a plan for getting back to the light.
