About Erika
Biography
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.

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."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"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!"
"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."

"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."
"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!"
