Erin helped me in my custody case. She is straight forward and tells you exactly what you can expect. I like her honesty and reputation. She presented my case the way it should have been and gave me the best advice possible. Highly recommended.

Erin is really great, She shoots straight, gives worse case scenarios, but fights for the best. She's companionate, understanding, works with you, and even follows up. I had an issue with custody, child support and other related issues that resulted in countless petitions and court dates over a span of 6 years. I consulted with Erin, and she agreed to take my cases when other lawyers told me that I will lose, or they advised me I should just accept things for the way they are. Its very comforting to have a lawyer on your side when you are a single father and it feels like the odds are against you. She even gives great court day wardrobe advice!

Erin was honest, efficient and thorough. My case was a very emotional case. She was always responsive and kept me calm. Most importantly, she did her job and we had the best possible outcome in the end.

She was simply amazing to me me and my family..my sons mother has used him against me and my wife and with Erin’s help which was actually all the way we achieved what I didn’t think was possible which was a complete custody order in my favor but for the benefit of my son...she not only helps her clients but she also becomes almost of a friend you can talk to

I had been with another attorney who wanted to settle all the time and was constantly telling me bad news and billed the heck out of me... I met Erin and she said let's go to court and fight for it. We did and we won. Used her again and got what o wanted. She is an honest attorney that will fight for you. She works hard and even called me over the weekend just so we could prepare. She goes the extra mile and is beyond professional. She will tell you no if it can't be done and doesn't promise the world, bit she will fight for it. The best part was when I was billed, it was fair and she did payment plans for me. If you need help, this is who you turn to.

Ms. Fitzgerald represented me in a complex custody battle that involved several jurisdictions. As a military father I only seen my daughter a handful of times since birth even though I made countless attempts. Erin's knowledge in Family Law and her effort towards fighting for me alone would warrant top ratings regardless of the outcome. However, Erin was able to get me primary placement of my daughter. Erin was my 4th attorney and by far the best.

Erin Fitzgerald has been amazing for me since I retained her. I had bad luck with two attorneys prior to her, but am so happy with my representation now.

Erin was straight with me from day one and helped me through my custody battle perfectly. I would recommend her to anyone, she is a great person and an awesome lawyer. I never had any doubts about her ability as a lawyer or her effort to perform in my case.

I've worked with Erin Fitzgerald for about 3 years now. She's helped me with establishing Custody not just once but twice and represented me very well in court. She's also helped me with the Child Support portion. She's never steered me wrong and always gave me good advice. She's helped me out as much as she could (considering my case).
