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!!!

Erika provided us with a wonderful experience. She was extremely knowledgeable regarding the legal concerns we were dealing with. Erika made us feel confident in her abilities at our initial consultation and walked us through every stage of the process and eased any concerns we may have had. We wo...uld definitely recommend her services to our friends and families.

The Best Lawyer You Can Ask For Going Through The Work Comp System

Erika was recommended to me by my therapist as I was going through the comp system after a robbery left me with PTSD. I had tried to go through a few different lawyers for help and they turned me away claiming that they didn't handle psychiatric cases. Erika took me on with out hesitation, helped me ...to get the treatment I needed after relapsing. She always answered every question I had during the process. Best of all she worked for the comp system and now works against them so she knows the dirty tricks they are trying to pull over on you and how to fight back. She took time to get to know me and my case and always made time for us (me and my parents) to come into the office as we got to different points. When we FINALLY reached the settlement portion she would help me to make it through all the confusion and law terms that left me freaked out. I would recommend Erika to ANYONE who needs help with a work comp system!
