Can't Say Enough Great Things

Erika was my second attorney during my divorce, which was not easy and lasted several years to resolve. She is very knowledgeable, well prepared, and is familiar with anticipating the Judge. I really got the feeling that she truly wants the best outcome and to resolve the situation with the best out...come as quickly as possible so as not to burn through my money needlessly by "fighting" with the other side and filing needless filings. She even was very amicable and professional to my X, who, also an attorney, was pleasantly surprised. I went from essentially no custody of my children to practically sole custody. I would recommend her in a heartbeat. And she's a nice person boot, making an already emotionally challenging and difficult situation, bearable. She is not inexpensive, rather she is worth it. I'm sure I would have paid much more for someone not as skilled, who just wanted to keep things going with the other side, instead of resolving things quickly and efficiently, while keeping my best interest in mind.

Amazing consultation

I couldn’t afford to hire this brilliant lawyer, however, I invested in a consultation that provided me with the knowledge, straight forward information I needed after hiring the wrong attorney who was over litigating, blowing smoke, and over charging. Erika understood the importance of trusting an...d having confidence in an advocate. She knew I was unhappy and she listened to my concerns, my situation and brainstormed a legal strategy that I was able to take to my new counsel. She is a fast thinker, a fluid speaker and highly knowledgeable all the while remaining sensitive knowing that family law can be a nightmare. She’s sensible and gets it and she’s not someone who backs down or is easily intimidated by opposing counsel. Thank you Erika for your guidance

Highly Recommended!

Erika is everything you could possibly ask for in a lawyer. She was exactly the support my wife and I needed during our difficult custody case. She is extremely supportive and caring, while at the same time being a strong advocate while working on our case and representing us in court. Her competence..., professionalism and sincerity gave us peace during a very trying time in our lives. We are so grateful that we met Erika and cannot say enough about the job she did for us. She goes above and beyond in all aspects of her profession. Highly recommended if you need a family lawyer.

Impressive!

Erika is an amazing lawyer and a wonderful person. I was very impressed the first time I met her. She was very supportive, caring and understanding. She is also extremely knowledgeable, professional and efficient: I do not have enough words to express my gratitude towards her. She helped and guid...ed me all the way throughout my divorce and the outcome ended far better than I had expected. She also found ways for me to save costs. Overall, I was extremely glad she was there to represent me throughout this difficult process. I highly recommend her!
