About Erika
Biography
I graduated magna cum laude from the University of Connecticut in 2005 with a Bachelors of Science in Human Development and Family Studies, with honors. In 2008, I graduated magna cum laude and order of the curia from Capital University Law School, in Columbus, Ohio.
Along with receiving my law degree, I received a certification in Children and Family Law. During law school, I received the Cali Book Award for Academic Excellence in Secured Transactions and worked as a Legal Research and Writing Teaching Assistance for first year law students. I also volunteered at the National Center for Adoption Law and Policy and worked as a law clerk for the Honorable Judge Peggy Walker in Douglasville, Georgia. While in Georgia, I assisted Judge Walker in creating a nationally presented project called Putting the Pieces Together: Promoting Resiliency in Children from Birth to Three. This presentation educated professionals on the best practices and procedures to meet the unique needs of the youngest children in foster care, by promoting safety, permanency and resiliency.
I completed an intensive interdisciplinary collaborative practice training sponsored by the Collaborative Law Institute of Illinois in November of 2009. I have also taken several Level II Collaborative trainings. As a Collaborative Professional, I am trained to assist parties in settling family conflicts without going to Court.

Erika's strong grasp of the law combined with her care for her clients make her one of the very best attorneys I know."
"Erika is absolutely the best. She is an excellent writer, litigator, and advocate. She maintains a collaborative, comfortable, and approachable demeanor in her cases. She is wonderful to work with."
"Erika and I shared a mutual client, and she demonstrated an outstanding ability to advise and assist the client through a very difficult and stressful situation. I would not hesitate to refer family law clients to her."

"I endorse this lawyer."
"Erika and I initially met while representing opposing parties in a divorce matter. Both through out that matter and subsequently, she is always professional, greatly knowledgeable of the law, and a strong advocate for her clients. Without hesitation, I endorse her."
"I endorse this lawyer without reservation. Erika is well organized, prompt, and very pleasant to work with in trying to find solutions to family law problems. She does what she says she will do when she says she will do it. She is very open to considering other perspectives but protective of her client's best interests. I have had occasion to refer clients to Erika before, and do so without reservation or worry that they will not be well taken care of. In addition to working as opposing counsel, we have also worked together -- as collaborative counsel, and several years ago, when Erika was new to Colorado, I had occasion to engage her on a contract basis for a research project in a divorce case I was handling. In that capacity, too, Erika was timely, thorough and produced a well-written and well-organized memo."
"I have worked opposite Erika on one matter, but at two different times. She has been a joy to work with. She understands that law and the personal interests of the parties. She is fair and positive. Apart from working as opposing counsel, I have requested her advice on unrelated matters. She is thorough in providing advice. I highly recommend Erika."
"Ms. Burke is an excellent family law attorney, being skilled at zealously advocating for her client, while still being sensitive to the long term consequences of the outcome of the case. She has a good sense of when to press the fight and when reach a good compromise. She is very professional and courteous, which leaves her plenty of room take whichever action is best for her client. I endorse Ms. Burke."
"Erika is a fantastic attorney. She is intelligent, responsive, and thoughtful. She cares for her clients, and she also cares for the community. She works hard to help build a divorce attorney community that is collaborative and professional."
"Erika is a pleasure to work with and settlement-minded. She is respectful, competent, and collaborative in her work. Her clients can be sure she is not only providing them excellent service, but that she is also navigating the legal service with dignity. I endorse this lawyer."
