My Hero

Patricia agreed to represent me in front of the State of Nevada Parole Board pro-bono. She asked that I trust her and she would do everything she could to get me a favorable out come. That she did. After 32 years hearing that I was granted a parole was awesome and I know the out come was because of... how she represent the facts, got them to review what I had done to improve myself, the timing that I didn't agree with, but trusted her and it was the right decision. She took the time to explain the process to me so I understood everything that was going on. I just could not have asked for a better attorney or found one with more knowledge than Miss Erickson She ROCKS

Diligent, Professional, Experienced

A few years ago I found myself in need of an attorney to represent my wife on felony charges that were not only ruining our marriage but, more importantly, could easily destroy her career and life goals. I have strict high standards and finding the best Lawyer seemed impossible. Then, I was refe...rred to Patricia Erickson by another prominent attorney from another state. We met, she listened to us and remembered every detail. She had the knowledge and ability to immediately understand and advise us on how our facts could be impacted by the law. In my opinion, only a well seasoned veteran attorney could do what Patricia did on our first meeting. Patricia negotiated a fair plea, set the record straight and didn’t let the law take advantage of us as we had some overzealous cops to deal with. Later, I thought all was lost when required aspects of my wife’s informal probation were not completed. Patricia took action immediately. Her perfect timing on paperwork, filings, documents and control of time sensitive materials saved our life again; she re-negotiated fair terms and lower penalties. A few months ago I got in big trouble with a fast car, was looking at jail time, huge fines and a difficult police officer. Through Patricia’s work, I didn’t go to jail and was able to pay my fine over extended period. Furthermore I never had to appear in court. In my opinion, Patricia is the definition of professional. Patricia Erickson has handled the wife’s and my criminal problems over the years and produced the best that could be had. She has always informed us every step of the way about the law, (knowledge base) and all possible outcomes; she listens to you and takes fear out of the equation. Her results are impressive. I absolutely couldn’t have a better criminal attorney in Las Vegas.
