Professional, Caring and Knowledgable Attorney
Ms. Erika Becker represented me recently in Juvenile Dependency Court. She stepped in and stepped up to defend me and worked hard to make sure my child was returned to me. She helped lead me through what I considered a terrifying time of my life. She was always there to answer questions and respon...

Erika Barbara Becker's Lawyer Endorsements
"It is an honor to endorse Mrs. Becker. Although she has approximately 16 years of experience fighting for her clients, this is not what makes her a great attorney. What makes her a great attorney and stand out from the rest is a combination of her years of experience , her unique background as a former public defender and prosecutor; but most importantly, her passion for defending and getting the best results for her clients. I have met attorneys that have as many years of experience as Mrs. Becker; however, their spark and passion to fight for their clients is not there, some how it disappeared with the years. THIS IS NOT THE CASE WITH MRS. BECKER. Mrs. Becker not only puts her heart in what she does, but she truly cares about the well-being of her clients. Mrs. Becker is not only an experienced litigator, passionate about helping and getting the best results her clients, but she is someone you can trust. For these reasons and many more, I endorsed Mrs. Becker."
"Ms. Becker's reputation precedes her. She left the Public Defender's office years ago, and my colleagues still speak very highly of her skill as well as her compassion. As a prosecutor, she worked alongside an attorney we are mutually acquainted with, and he spoke her praises whenever the discussion turned to criminal law. She is an outstanding attorney, and I am happy to give her my endorsement."
"I have had the unique opportunity of working alongside Erika first as opposing counsel, then as fellow prosecutors in the same office, and now as a fellow defense attorneys in the private bar. Without a doubt, Erika is one of the most compassionate attorneys I have ever met. She will put her heart into any case, and she is truly appalled by injustice. I have seen firsthand just how hard she works. She is smart, highly organized, a diligent researcher, and has an articulate yet very down-to-earth way of speaking that jurors find appealing. I have referred clients to her in the past, and I was amazed at the results she obtained for them. I sent her a two-count theft-related felony out of Long Beach when a prior engagement kept me from taking the case myself. She ended up getting the client an amazing deal that saw the most serious felony reduced to a misdemeanor on the spot, and the other felony dismissed after a class. She earns my full endorsement without hesitation."
