Thankful!

Ericka was such a huge help when I really needed her. She had an answer to all my questions, was very patient, worked hard and was always available when I called. She will be my lawyer for life, because she is the first lawyer I felt like I could really trust and I know I can always count her. I hav...e recommended her to a few friends and they all have thanked my afterwards. She really is the best!

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.
