Erika Rae Scheideman

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.

This attorney will prolong one's divorce because she wants to get paid and this is how she does it. The opposing council asked..."why haven't we terminated the marriage "? She said.. "I think its convenient for me and my soon to be ex-husband to continue to be marriage ". This way she will continue g...etting paid. She would tell me..."I working for you so, that you walk away with as much money" but this is when I realized that she was charging so much money and I was not saving any money. When I told her what she was doing to me, this is when she would be upset and would threatened me...."I think that we are not good fit and you should find yourself another attorney". Or whenever I would forget, or didn't understand, or would tell her that she was not doing what I was paying for her to do. This is when she would threatened me with dropping my divorce case after being with her for a year and half. She would do this throughout this whole year and half. She was a FAKE and would PRETEND to CARE about my SUFFERING. I regret the day that I hired her and the bad thing also is that she also has my name. We parted ways on May 21, 2021.

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

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.

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!
