Outstanding SSI disability

I used Erika for my appeal and she is genuinely passionate about helping her clients. She always returned my calls and answered my questions. She agreed to represent me when no one else would and she really knows the laws. I won my case and I am so happy with her. I would refer her any time

Awful representation

This Attorney basically lost me my disability case...She wasn't even prepared to go into the Administrative hearing at all! She didn't know anything about my case and at the hearing was the first I had ever met or talked actually to her...had only spoken with the paralegal before then. To top it al...l off...she and the vocational person argued on a personal level so it seemed. It was the worst experience ever and I had a solid case to win. I am so regretting using this lawyer for representation!!!

Outstanding Attorney

I've worked in the legal industry for a long time, so I've seen first-hand a lot of great and not-so-great attorneys. Erika Alverson is very professional and knowledgeable. She and her team are quick to respond to my questions and concerns. I felt well represented in my workers comp case. She gave... me excellent advice at every turn. In addition, both she and her paralegal are kind and caring. I recommend her highly for her high level of skill and experience.

Social Security Disability Claim

The first time I went to see Ericka I knew that she was confident, knowledgeable and cared about her clients. She proved to me that all this is true. She always kept me informed and answered any questions and concerns that I had during this long process and waiting that it takes for Social Security D...isability Claims. I would recommend her very highly. My case was awarded the same day as my hearing. I am very grateful to her and her staff for being so professional and caring at the same time.

I am very happy.

Erika was very involved with me as a client. I won my case and she knew the results before I did. The firm called me and let me know the results. I am very grateful for her.

  • 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.
