As a cooperative divorce attorney and certified professional mediator, I am singularly focused on providing affordable, efficient, positive and productive solutions for resolving divorce out of court. My clients have short and long marriages, no assets or multi-million dollar estates, young or grown or no children - but they have one thing in common: the desire to resolve their divorce quickly, privately, affordably, and most importantly, on their own terms.
My process is unique, and highly effective.
My dedication to cooperative divorce practice has provided me the opportunity to develop and teach a course on litigation alternatives at McGeorge School of Law. Unlike most law school curriculum, this course trains attorneys-to-be in practical, reasonable divorce resolution.
I host a divorce lifestyle network: Split Decisions Divorce. Though 50% of marriages end in divorce, 100% of people are impacted by it at some point in their lives. Our goal is to provide education, entertainment, and information to help all of those impacted by divorce make better Split Decisions.
I am also the CEO and CFO of a single-parent household with young children. They’re the loveliest children ever, who thoughtfully provide me with the chance to sharpen my dispute resolution skills on a daily (hourly?) basis. When dividing a can of Play-Doh, or dividing a pension plan, my goal is that the people involved (whether spouses or toddlers) be pleased that they reached their own fair and equitable result.
If you have read this far in my bio, I feel compelled to also disclose a weakness for musical productions, local wineries, Italian leather shoes, unqualifed mountain biking, and the Folsom STARS program (look it up). Thank you for viewing my page on AVVO. Solving divorce is my life’s purpose, and I look forward to helping you obtain your own cooperative solution.

We were nervous going into mediation because so many people told us it didn't work. Erika put our mind at ease immediately by explaining her 18 years of experience and giving us her word she would not take us as clients unless she had total confidence in us. The whole time, we were wondering when the...

I was sent to Erika from my Trust Attorney. It was the easiest and most pleasant experience I ever had. She was so nice and made my experience easier for me. She has a calming effect on people. Truly the best during my difficult time. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who needed help with a...

Ms. Englund was recommended to me and she has proven to be very clear, calm and informative. She is a skilled lawyer and I trust her to keep both parties on course with what she called “a divorce with equitable justice”, and prioritizing the children. She is a great asset to have as you navigate th...

Erica was referred to me by a friend and even though I could not hire her as my mediator due to technical reasons, she never failed to go the extra mile (which is rare for attorneys) to keep me informed and answered patiently all my questions during my consultations. She was a huge help in guiding me...

When my ex-wife and I decided to go the mediation route we were unsure if we could make it work. Things were nowhere near amicable, but we knew that the court system would be well beyond our means. We also knew that we needed to move on, not only for us, but for our children. When we met with Ms. Eng...

"Erika is an amazing family law mediator. Without reservation, I send family law cases that are best resolved through mediation to Erika's office. I have such faith in Erika, that I have even sent her several of my personal friends. She works closely with the clients to help them arrive at their own resolutions to even the trickiest of divorces. My friends have reported back to me that they appreciated Erika's responsiveness and that they appreciated the cost-savings over litigation."
