"When I was a second year law student, Erin supervised my case with the student-led pro bono project, Immigrant Families Advocacy Project (IFAP). She was a fantastic supervisor and mentor, and I learned a lot from her. Erin is an attorney with incredible attention to detail. Her expertise in Immigration Law helped us navigate our client's complex narrative. Erin also offered helpful advice, training us to focus on critical details of events and to use precise language. I learned a lot from Erin what it means to be a compassionate and effective immigration attorney. Thanks to Erin's guidance and support, our client was granted her U-Visa petition. Anyone who has the privilege of working with Erin is lucky to have a strong advocate who not only understands your story but also understands what it takes to succeed in Immigration Law. It is with great pleasure that I endorse this lawyer."

"Erin is an outstanding immigration attorney. She is passionate for her clients and works diligently to achieve the best possible outcome. She has successfully handled many cases with complicated legal issues. She's simply one of the best."

She approaches each case with compassion and has a sharp analytical mind for dissecting even the most difficult case to locate relief options. Erin is a pleasure to work with and receives overwhelmingly positive feedback from her clients, who recognize both her skill as an attorney and her passion for and commitment to advancing and protecting the rights of immigrants. Highly recommended!"
"Erin is a hardworking and compassionate attorney. She is strategic, knowledgeable about immigration law, and has a good legal instinct. In addition to being fluent in Spanish, Erin has strong writing and communication skills. I would highly recommend Erin for her advocacy and ability to tackle challenging and complex cases."
