This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

A godsend in our time of neeed

“When my mother died at age 90 with no will in place, my brother and sister and I were clueless on what to do and how to do it. All those issues? Probate? Erin Thrash at the Thrash Law Firm was a godsend in guiding us through the process, and she did it with a combination of grace and professionalism... for which I will be forever grateful. Five stars for sure. Highly recommended.”

Erin's Law Firm is Top Notch

Erin and her staff are most helpful and give me explanations that I can actually understand and not a lot of legal terminology. She and her staff are professional and most helpful. I would recommend Erin to anyone.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
