About Erika

I am passionate about the law and compassionate towards my clients. I am a former prosecutor who is comfortable in the courtroom and is competent in handling numerous legal matters. 

I know what it's like to fall on hard times. I know what it's like to make mistakes. And I know that those mistakes do not define us. It is how we get through our darkest hours that teach us the most and help us to create futures filled with hope and light.

As your attorney, I will always treat you with respect and work my hardest to ensure that you are treated fairly within the legal system. I believe in the value of all people, I believe in second chances, and I believe in justice for all.

Review Erika Hansen

Cares about your case

Posted by

I worked with this lawyer to get my DUI charge down to an Obstruction of the Highway. She was very diligent and also cared about my case. She took the time to write out everything that would happen if I went to trial which gave me a peace of mind and calmed me down. She was even there when I messed up with probation and again helped me to feel calm and centered. She is honest and worked her hardest to get what I wanted and what she thought she could offer me. I was glad to have her as a lawyer and would recommend her to anyone.

A REAL lawyer, a Real person!

I thank the universe for sending me Erika. She demonstrated concern for my case from the beginning. Never once did she seem judgmental or non-caring. She’s compassionate and empathetic and believes in people. She knows that mistakes do not define a person. I would absolutely recommend her!

The BEST Attorney in Texas

Posted by

Erika was the light in the midst of a storm in my life. She came in on my case during a really difficult time within the court process. I had a previous attorney who didn't provide any help, information, direction, sympathy, or encouragement for the outcome of my case. I was advised by a friend to give Erika a call and she returned my call within the hour. She took the time to listen to my story, my concerns, and even my sobs. By the end of the call I knew that she would be the best counsel for me. Within the week she had contacted the court and had her named as my new counsel. She showed up to court prior to me arriving and had in her possession pictures, pleas, and information that I had NEVER been provided or shown previously. One thing that I truly was impressed with is her true honesty. She will not sugar coat anything for you, or provide you with any false hope. She will fight for you as if you were her only client. If you want a real lawyer who is knowledgeable, compassionate, trustworthy, and dependable then you should chose Erika Hansen. You won't go wrong.

Brilliant and Compassionate

Posted by

Erika took the time to listen to my concerns and kept me up to date during the entire process with her returning my emails or phone calls within 24 to 48 hours. Her deligence in reviewing my case assisted in a positive outcome with a no conviction settled out of court. She treated me as a person and truly took her time to know me and what lead to my current situation. Despite her busy schedule, she made me feel as if I was her only client and took every opportunity to help me understand every step of the criminal court process.

Erika has a tremendous amount of experience in criminal justice that makes her especially skilled at assessing cases and pursuing the best outcomes for her clients. She is extremely intelligent, strategic, and hard-working. I highly recommend Ms. Hansen.

Ms. Hansen is very experienced in all matters of criminal defense and especially domestic violence having been a DV prosecutor for many years in Travis County. I have worked with her as a colleague as a prosecutor and as a defense attorney. She knows how to navigate the courthouse and knows how to get results for her clients.

Benjamin Gergen, Criminal defense Attorney on Jun 27, 2017
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

Erika brings over a ton of experience from the other side of the aisle which makes her one of the best defense minds for family violence cases. She is always someone whose opinion I value greatly when I have a tough issue in a criminal case come up. The defense bar is lucky to have her join our ranks!

John Wise, Criminal defense Attorney on Apr 3, 2017
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

Erika is a highly skilled and passionate attorney. As a prosecutor she fought tirelessly for victims seeking justice. As a defense lawyer now, she continues to fight for her clients. She is well regarded in the community as an intelligent and effective advocate and I highly recommend her.

Gerard Perches, Criminal defense Attorney on Mar 23, 2017
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

I endorse Ms. Hansen. She is a great trial attorney. She was always well prepared and proved sound legal arguments. As a former prosecutor she will provide insightful advice that will be a benefit to her clients.

Rick Flores, Juvenile law Attorney on Mar 7, 2017
Relationship: Worked together on matter

I have known and worked with Erika for 10+ years. She is dedicated, driven, and gets great results for her clients. If a friend or family member were ever in need of an attorney, Erika would be on the short list of people I would recommend.

Sunday Austin, Criminal defense Attorney on Feb 15, 2017
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

I have known Erika since 2009. I have known her as both a prosecutor and as a defense attorney. With her wealth of experience and knowledge in and out of the courtroom, she represents her clients to the fullest. She takes her time and treats each client with respect and as an individual and NEVER as a number. She is an amazing and successful trial attorney. She is hardworking and diligent. She is always very thorough and well-prepared. I whole heartedly endorse her!
