Best experience one can have when facing a difficult time in your life

My experience with Christ Erskin was excellent. Very patient, helpful and always took the time to explain in detail information that was needed to make decisions. Always available to reach when I needed help. Always prompt in returning phone calls. He was respectful and kind hearted.

Uninterested

Christopher Erskine represented me on some Family Law last summer and although he seemed a very nice fellow, he did not seem particularly interested in representing my case or advocating on my behalf. He did not answer my questions when asked in emails and he did not respond to opposing counsel or r...equire them to meet deadlines. I never got the impression my situation was a priority to Mr. Erskine.

My experience

The help I got with my case was excellent. I got all the answers to my questions handled in a timely manner. All my concerns were met in a way that I could understand what was being explained to me. I would recommend this lawyer to anybody looking for great representation.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
