Erica Michelle Bansmer

I retained Ms. Bansmer and paid legal fees with the expectation of competent representation. The services paid for were not meaningfully performed, no refund was issued, and I was billed for emails and calls that went unanswered. Communication was sporadic and often nonexistent for extended periods o...f time. Ms. Bansmer’s negligence and misrepresentation materially harmed my case. Avoidable errors and failures to act complicated my legal matter and caused additional financial and emotional distress. As a direct result of her conduct, I was required to retain and pay a second law firm to correct her mistakes. That firm was able to identify and resolve the issues efficiently, confirming that the complications were unnecessary and preventable. When I raised concerns, Ms. Bansmer consistently deflected responsibility, was highly defensive, and avoided accountability. During an in-office interaction, her behavior became verbally aggressive and intimidating, which I found unprofessional and inappropriate. Additionally, I observed that Ms. Bansmer appeared more responsive to negative online reviews than to my legitimate concerns as a paying client, further reinforcing the lack of diligence in her representation. Based on my experience, I believe Ms. Bansmer lacked the competence required to handle certain legal issues.

Ms.Bansmer and her colleagues are detail oriented and work hard to find every way in which you may benefit from the laws regarding your case. They will fight for you to get the justice you deserve when the other party lies and refuses to comply with what the court orders. They stick with you every st...ep of the way even when the other party purposely drags their feet. I am so thankful to have them on my side through this difficult time.

Great attorney! She offered a free 30 min consult and gave me a pay plan when it became hard to pay. She is a bit distant. Did not want to get to know me at all, which is fine but felt kinda cold. Her assistant, Amanda, was also very helpful and attentive. They fought for my case beautifully. Could'v...e gone better but my ex is an a**h**e!
