Erin was very professional through out a long, bitter divorce process. The divorce settlement required the attorney to be well versed in business concepts and defend claims of over-reach. She understands the law very well and is a bulldog when it comes to negotiations. She defended my position in regards to joint custody of the children and highlighted the role of a dad and its importance. I consulted 3 of the top family firms in Portland and she is amongst the best.

On my first meeting with Erin I knew I had the best person to handle my divorce She was confident professional and understanding of my own personal feelings. All the way through the process she was great. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing a great attorney Thank You Erin !

Erin helped me with my divorce from my spouse who was in prison. It was a complicated and lengthy process due to the prison system’s lack of a sense of urgency. Erin navigated the complications of dealing with the prison system efficiently. Erin kept me well informed regarding what documents had been filed on what dates and when wait periods would be up so we could proceed to the next step. Throughout the process, she was very understanding and empathetic to my emotional state and was very encouraging as we worked together to end a painful chapter of my life and move on to brighter days. I would highly recommend her for any family legal issues that need a sensitive and communicative lawyer.

Erin was invaluable in handling my son's divorce, which was a difficult one, requiring much research and some rather difficult circumstances. Particularly important was the custody aspect. While I only had minimal contact with her directly, my son expressed to me his respect for her knowledge, preparation, and commitment to his case. She was very helpful in explaining the process I would undergo in providing testimony.

I came to Erin 18 months into a high conflict divorce, having spent $16,000, with no real resolution in sight. I had the unfortunate and palpable sense that my attorney and my husband's attorney were working together to everyone's demise. Erin was a breath of fresh air. I learned more about my divorce in the first conversation I had with her than in my entire relationship with my former attorney. Erin utilized new (to my divorce), functional tools in bringing my case to settlement. Her negotiating, timing, communication, and deadline setting were impeccable, and she was able to bring my divorce to settlement in under 6 months for comparatively very reasonable cost. I found her and her office to be responsive and respectful. At all times charges for services were uninflated and reflected an ethic of conserving cost. I am very happy with both the financial settlement Erin negotiated in my divorce and with the measures she was able to put into place to provide the best possible, safest visitation parameters for my family's individual circumstances. In working with Erin, I feel I stepped out of a frustrating and intimidating experience in an old-boy network where the cards were stacked against me, and stepped into a functional, legally nearly balanced world with an advocate working for me and for my children. Erin truly negotiated for my children and I a future that holds the most promise possible given our circumstances. I am grateful for her work and her practice.

I would recommend Erin in a family law matter to my friends and family. The firm's billing was always honest and fair and well detailed. Her ability to help me remain calm in very stressful situations was of great value to me.
