Helping you begin a new chapter, in the interest of those who matter most…
Though every family is unique, in coming alongside individuals and families, the well-being of children is always priority for Erin and the clients she represents.
Erin’s family law clients are:
Responding to an unwanted or last resort change in their family;
Focused on creating the most positive future for their children; and
Committed to seeking as peaceful a resolution as possible.
In working with Erin, clients gain a compassionate, fully-engaged and responsive advocate who places the interest and well-being of her clients first.
“Erin was such a light in a hard time in my life. No one wants to need a lawyer, but I was so thankful to have Erin to walk me through my divorce. What I valued most about her advice was that she presented my legal options, advised me on the court's potential responses, then guided me to make the best decision for my specific situation.
On top of that, her kindness and empathy was clear from the start. I was never just a case to her, instead I felt like she treated me the way she would a friend or family member.”
Mediation: Writing a resolution, together…
Too many people fall into the trap of believing divorce is a battle to be won. And the sad truth is that no one wins in a divorce. After a marriage is lost, a peaceful resolution is the best hope you have. Mediation is how you write your peaceful resolution. Especially if your spouse is the parent to your children, your relationship is not over after the divorce.
As a mediator, it is Erin’s goal to help parties reach an agreement that each side can live with and that focuses on what’s best for any children involved. While there are many ways to resolve a dispute and complete or modify a family law agreement, mediation is the only option that puts you in the driver seat. Mediation allows you to reach an agreement on your timetable, outside of the confrontation of a Courtroom, and often for less cost than traditional litigation. For the benefit of your children and your own internal peace, mediation as a means of resolution should be considered and pursued if at all possible.
“Erin was a real super star during my mediation with my ex-husband. She handled everything with ease and patience while still maintaining confident control of the process.”
PLEASE NOTE:
If you’re ready to formally inquire about mediation, email our office while COPYING your spouse in the email. It is very important that Erin is contacted by both parties together and not one party before the other.
Other Family Law Areas of Practice:
DIVORCE & LEGAL SEPARATION
While no one enters a marriage planning for divorce or legal separation, it is an unfortunate reality that couples sometimes find themselves in. I strive to provide compassionate care to all of my clients and explain all available options to find the best next step for each client’s difficult circumstances. My goal is to support my clients, explain each step of this confusing process, help each client focus on the best next steps for their children and themselves, and act in a way that builds up everyone involved.
CUSTODY AND CHILD SUPPORT ISSUES
From time to time, clients need to update their custody and parenting time arrangements or reevaluate the amount of child support being paid for a variety of reasons. I enjoy assisting clients in evaluating what works for their family and what changes could be made to further fit their family’s needs and current circumstances. Even a small change can make a big difference.

Her choice of mediator was brilliant and they both dealt well with my high conflict partner and stopped his nonsense right away…” - Sandra Kreismane
