Hurt and dissatisfied

If I could rate her lower on "responsive" and "Kept me informed" I would, but there are NO negative rating! She was my "lawyer" for two and half months! She responded to only two (2) of the nine (9) emails I sent her! And of the four (4) phone call I placed to her with questions I never spoke to he...r in person! And when a call was returned by Ms. Erb's office it was ALWAYS an asst. It took her a almost FULL month to file my Divorce, from the day I dropped it off (Jan, 26, 2010) till the day my husband received it (Feb 22, 2010)! She filed in the WRONG county! I had to repetitively ask for my bill receiving the first one more then 15 days late! I could not have been more dissatisfied with her representation! In such a difficult time, she made me feel like a burden! I still have not received a second bill and it has been 2 weeks since I obtained new council, and over three (3) month! I feel like I was robbed but worse I feel taken advantage of and hurt! I trusted her!

Very knowledgeable, firm and aggressive representation!

I could not have been more pleased with the representation I received from Ms. Erb She represented me on very short notice. I contacted her a week before my hearing and she returned my call immediately and began working diligently on my case. I had no problems getting in touch with her. I had dif...ficulty in the past with my previous lawyers arguing for me and getting me results. She was firm and aggressive and fought for what I wanted. I was very pleased with the outcome of my hearing and feel it was a direct result of Ms. Erb's hard work and expertise.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
