Excellent, detailed oriented construction attorney!

Erin is an exceptional attorney. Her practice is exclusively construction based, so she is current on all the changes to the law. She wrote the contract between me and my general contractor for a major remodel, explained all the various steps to me, and generally did a wonderful job. Definitely hire ...her if you're doing any sort of construction work (either as the consumer or the builder).

Collection agency issue resolved

We had a general contractor for rebuilding our house after having been flood by hurricane Harvey back in 2017. We recently received a letter from a collection agency, to recover money for a subcontractor that our contractor has not paid. We contacted Erin and she resolved the issue for us within not ...even 2 weeks. Thank you Erin for making this so easy for us.

Exceptional attorney

Erin is an exceptional attorney - we had an issue with a contractor and she went above and beyond to help us solve this matter out within a matter of 24 hours. She is timely, professional, patient, honest, and knowledgeable. I only wish we had contacted her sooner - it would have saved us so much tim...e and stress. We definitely will not hesitate to reach out to her again in the future.

Rock Star Attorney

Erin is a great attorney to work with. We had some major issues with a contractor and I'm happy to share that within a day of our first call, we had our matter solved. This is my first time working with a lawyer and not only was she patient and kind, we got a terrific outcome at the end of it!

Exceptional. (Period).

I chose to have Ms. Eckert represent me in a construction liability case with multiple defendants. I found Erin to be incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and thorough. She assessed the entire situation, zeroed in on my involvement, and explained my predicament in terms that I could comprehend. I ...appreciate that Erin was very direct with me and able to instantly relieve my anxiety concerning the whole legal matter. Erin takes no 'bull****' from anyone! When progress stalled on multiple occasions, due to others, she stepped up and worked diligently on my behalf to resolve several issues in order to get the ball rolling again. Throughout the process, I felt that Erin was my advocate and had my back. The stress relief she provided, yet did not bill for, was priceless. Erin maintained regular communication and was incredibly easy to work with. While avoiding a lengthy trial, she was able to settle the lawsuit in terms which were more than agreeable with me. I would highly recommend the quality and affordable legal services provided by Ms. Eckert and I would not hesitate to utilize her services again.
