Very happy with Erika and my outcome

Erika is amazing. When I first divorced, I signed the judgment without an attorney (big mistake). Years later, when my ex asked for more, I found Erika. Over many months, she patiently and knowledgeably guided me from initial advice on my rights all the way through a three hour court appearance that ...ended in a decision far better than what I had offered on my own to avoid court. The entire time she was incredibly considerate about being as efficient with her time (low cost) as possible. I have had other attorneys bill me for time they spent talking about their childhood - Erika is the opposite of that, but at the same time absolutely answered every question I had extremely thoroughly and promptly. The entire process was very stressful, but Erika went above and beyond providing support and motivation to keep going. I highly recommend her.

Amazing!!

Erika was amazing from the first call through the court dates and till the end. She was able to provide sound advice and direction for our sticky custody case. She went above and beyond for us, even when the other sides attorney left to tend to another case she managed to navigate an agreement. Dre...w it up right there and had it filed for us. Talk about amazing!! After everything has come to a close for us, we can't praise her enough. A truly hard working, honest, caring attorney. We would recommend you call her immediately!

Great job

Erika literally jumped through hoops to make my divorce happen smoothly. I was unable to find my wife (as she had moved off with another man to another state), and Erika diligently found her, served her, and closed out my divorce in record time. She responds very quickly, handles everything right awa...y, and kept me informed every step of the way. I hope I never require her services again, but if I do I will be going back to her.

Sincere and Competent Lawyer

Erika is an exceptional lawyer. She was so helpful throughout my divorce with her expert advice and professionalism. I felt she turned this unpleasant process into a positive experience. I am very thankful I was recommended to her and I will continue to recommend others to her in the future. I'm extr...emely grateful to have met such a sincere and competent lawyer. I endorse Erika!

Two thumbs up

Working with Ms. Scheideman made a pleasant experience out of an emotionally difficult process. She was patient, understanding, efficient and knowledgeable, and helped me to feel confident while proceeding through the process. I highly recommend choosing her, and working with the law offices of Mak...upson & Howard.
