Erica is a true professional and a compassionate person; she helped me overcome great emotional distress and guided me through a very difficult divorce. I felt I was lucky to have her and her team in my corner because they offered me support and encouragement even when I was ready to give up. Erica had my and my daughter's best interest at heart and fought for what she knew to be a fair settlement.
Erica has been our attorney for over 5 years through an incredibly challenging parenting plan/custody matter. She listens, and remembers and is highly knowledgeable, responsive, and highly respected by the courts and judges. She's witty, well spoken, throughout as well as to the point which judges take notice of! This matters! She has guided us and fought incredibly hard to keep our child safe in an extremely high conflict situation. Our child has flourished because of the incredible effort, time, energy, and true gift Mrs. Santos has. She's been a literal earth angel to us and we would recommend her to anyone seeking legal counsel. She's been by our side through a full trial and countless motions since and we are so very pleased with the level of service and support she has given to our family. We honestly don't know where we'd be without her. We would give her 10 stars if we could! She is the absolute best in her field! Forever grateful to the expertise and professionalism and her impeccable work on our case. Thank you, Mrs. Santos!
Erica represented me during both my divorce and domestic violence protection order hearings. She and her staff never treated me like I was a means to the bottom line: they were empathetic human beings who understood what I was going through and made me feel supported. Erica and her team ferociously defended me and worked to protect me and my son. Erica is so experienced she always seemed to be one step ahead of the game, and she was able to accurately predict the outcome of different choices, which was extremely helpful in coming to some difficult conclusions. She was completely transparent with me the entire experience which reduced the number of surprises we had along the way, in turn reducing my anxiety. I can't imagine having done this with any other lawyer, and I'm so thankful to the entire Knauf Santos team for their consistency, reliability, and thoughtful care of my family.
Erica and her team were phenomenal. They picked up my case from another lawyer and really were everything I expected, and more. Two things I would point out specifically for others looking for a divorce attorney: 1) Erica has a very good grasp on likely outcomes in court or arbitration - before temp orders (court) and final orders (arbitration) I got Erica's opinion on what a likely outcome was, and both times she was very close to the actual outcomes (this is extremely valuable in negotiation). 2) While the hourly rates of Erica and her team were comparable to other attorneys (including the first lawyer on my case), I spent much less money on Erica because she was direct and efficient with her use of time. I highly recommend Erica Knauf Santos and her team
Erica was able to see where I needed to go before I did. I wish I would have listened to her advice initially because she was right on with her thoughts and the direction I needed to go. Fair priced and wonderful!!! Completed my entire divorce and dealt with some very complicated issues including addiction and autism.
Erica fought for me when I could not. She was compassionate, encouraging, smart and tough, and walked me through a very difficult time in my life.
Erica is an amazing attorney! She helped me navigate through my tumultuous divorce and parenting plan with patience, understanding and continuous encouragement. I really appreciated being able to have an affordable consultation prior to retaining her so that I could get an idea of how to proceed. She patiently walked me through the process and gave me great advice that helped me secure the results I needed at a reasonable price and timeline. She and her assistants continued to welcome my requests even after my divorce was finalized when new disagreements came up with my ex husband regarding our property and children. She and her assistants are always very friendly, welcoming, thorough and quick to respond. I can never thank them enough for everything they did for me! I highly recommend them!
They handled my case in the best interest of my child. Since the day of the consultation, I knew they were going to do everything possible to bring me family estability. They are very responsive and reliable!
Erica was AMAZING! My divorce was difficult to say the least. Having to subpoena just about everything due to an uncooperative ex. She went above and beyond to help me relocate back to my home state with my 2 kids. She represented the facts and was able to clearly explain to the Judge why it was necessary to relocate. She showed compassion for my situation and was fully capable of handling whatever the other attorneys bogus request/responses were. In the end I was awarded my move and primary custody of my children. I felt like she was fair in our requests and I don't think things would have ended so positive if I had a different lawyer. I highly recommend Erika for anyone going into court with children or just a difficult divorce. She is highly knowledgeable, organised and extremely compassionate.
Erica represented me during the darkest phase of my life when I had to go through a divorce process after 16 years of marriage (18 years of relationship). It was a complicated case in a sense that I did not see the divorce coming as my ex hid all the extra marital activities and communal assets waste behind my back. I was a trusting stay at home parent for 12 years who fully trusted my spouse. Erica fought for mine and my kids' rights. She does not sugar coat things and keep expectations realistic, which I appreciate. She's easy to work with. During moments when I did not understand why she advised certain things, she's open to hear my input and patiently help me understand. Erica uncovered all the extra marital activities that my ex did. It was a tough thing to face, but I needed to know all the details to get clarity and heal. Erica's staff were equally wonderful. They are quick to response and always attentive to my needs. One of them even ran from the lobby with a box of tissues when I was inside Erica's office wailing crying from discovering all the extra marital things my ex did. Erica and her staff are always careful with their clients' finances. They are always careful with the legal fees because they understand money is tight during divorce process. Erica saved my and my children's lives. I highly recommend Erica and her staff.

Erica fought for me when I could not. She was compassionate, encouraging, smart and tough, and walked me through a very difficult time in my life.
Erica is an amazing attorney! She helped me navigate through my tumultuous divorce and parenting plan with patience, understanding and continuous encouragement. I really appreciated being able to have an affordable consultation prior to retaining her so that I could get an idea of how to proceed. She patiently walked me through the process and gave me great advice that helped me secure the results I needed at a reasonable price and timeline. She and her assistants continued to welcome my requests even after my divorce was finalized when new disagreements came up with my ex husband regarding our property and children. She and her assistants are always very friendly, welcoming, thorough and quick to respond. I can never thank them enough for everything they did for me! I highly recommend them!
They handled my case in the best interest of my child. Since the day of the consultation, I knew they were going to do everything possible to bring me family estability. They are very responsive and reliable!
Erica was AMAZING! My divorce was difficult to say the least. Having to subpoena just about everything due to an uncooperative ex. She went above and beyond to help me relocate back to my home state with my 2 kids. She represented the facts and was able to clearly explain to the Judge why it was necessary to relocate. She showed compassion for my situation and was fully capable of handling whatever the other attorneys bogus request/responses were. In the end I was awarded my move and primary custody of my children. I felt like she was fair in our requests and I don't think things would have ended so positive if I had a different lawyer. I highly recommend Erika for anyone going into court with children or just a difficult divorce. She is highly knowledgeable, organised and extremely compassionate.
Erica represented me during the darkest phase of my life when I had to go through a divorce process after 16 years of marriage (18 years of relationship). It was a complicated case in a sense that I did not see the divorce coming as my ex hid all the extra marital activities and communal assets waste behind my back. I was a trusting stay at home parent for 12 years who fully trusted my spouse. Erica fought for mine and my kids' rights. She does not sugar coat things and keep expectations realistic, which I appreciate. She's easy to work with. During moments when I did not understand why she advised certain things, she's open to hear my input and patiently help me understand. Erica uncovered all the extra marital activities that my ex did. It was a tough thing to face, but I needed to know all the details to get clarity and heal. Erica's staff were equally wonderful. They are quick to response and always attentive to my needs. One of them even ran from the lobby with a box of tissues when I was inside Erica's office wailing crying from discovering all the extra marital things my ex did. Erica and her staff are always careful with their clients' finances. They are always careful with the legal fees because they understand money is tight during divorce process. Erica saved my and my children's lives. I highly recommend Erica and her staff.
Erica is a true professional and a compassionate person; she helped me overcome great emotional distress and guided me through a very difficult divorce. I felt I was lucky to have her and her team in my corner because they offered me support and encouragement even when I was ready to give up. Erica had my and my daughter's best interest at heart and fought for what she knew to be a fair settlement.
Erica has been our attorney for over 5 years through an incredibly challenging parenting plan/custody matter. She listens, and remembers and is highly knowledgeable, responsive, and highly respected by the courts and judges. She's witty, well spoken, throughout as well as to the point which judges take notice of! This matters! She has guided us and fought incredibly hard to keep our child safe in an extremely high conflict situation. Our child has flourished because of the incredible effort, time, energy, and true gift Mrs. Santos has. She's been a literal earth angel to us and we would recommend her to anyone seeking legal counsel. She's been by our side through a full trial and countless motions since and we are so very pleased with the level of service and support she has given to our family. We honestly don't know where we'd be without her. We would give her 10 stars if we could! She is the absolute best in her field! Forever grateful to the expertise and professionalism and her impeccable work on our case. Thank you, Mrs. Santos!
Erica represented me during both my divorce and domestic violence protection order hearings. She and her staff never treated me like I was a means to the bottom line: they were empathetic human beings who understood what I was going through and made me feel supported. Erica and her team ferociously defended me and worked to protect me and my son. Erica is so experienced she always seemed to be one step ahead of the game, and she was able to accurately predict the outcome of different choices, which was extremely helpful in coming to some difficult conclusions. She was completely transparent with me the entire experience which reduced the number of surprises we had along the way, in turn reducing my anxiety. I can't imagine having done this with any other lawyer, and I'm so thankful to the entire Knauf Santos team for their consistency, reliability, and thoughtful care of my family.
Erica and her team were phenomenal. They picked up my case from another lawyer and really were everything I expected, and more. Two things I would point out specifically for others looking for a divorce attorney: 1) Erica has a very good grasp on likely outcomes in court or arbitration - before temp orders (court) and final orders (arbitration) I got Erica's opinion on what a likely outcome was, and both times she was very close to the actual outcomes (this is extremely valuable in negotiation). 2) While the hourly rates of Erica and her team were comparable to other attorneys (including the first lawyer on my case), I spent much less money on Erica because she was direct and efficient with her use of time. I highly recommend Erica Knauf Santos and her team

She's been by our side through a full trial and countless motions since and we are so very pleased with the level of service and support she has given to our family. We honestly don't know where we'd be without her. We would give her 10 stars if we could! She is the absolute best in her field! Forever grateful to the expertise and professionalism and her impeccable work on our case. Thank you, Mrs. Santos!
Erica represented me during both my divorce and domestic violence protection order hearings. She and her staff never treated me like I was a means to the bottom line: they were empathetic human beings who understood what I was going through and made me feel supported. Erica and her team ferociously defended me and worked to protect me and my son. Erica is so experienced she always seemed to be one step ahead of the game, and she was able to accurately predict the outcome of different choices, which was extremely helpful in coming to some difficult conclusions. She was completely transparent with me the entire experience which reduced the number of surprises we had along the way, in turn reducing my anxiety. I can't imagine having done this with any other lawyer, and I'm so thankful to the entire Knauf Santos team for their consistency, reliability, and thoughtful care of my family.
Erica and her team were phenomenal. They picked up my case from another lawyer and really were everything I expected, and more. Two things I would point out specifically for others looking for a divorce attorney: 1) Erica has a very good grasp on likely outcomes in court or arbitration - before temp orders (court) and final orders (arbitration) I got Erica's opinion on what a likely outcome was, and both times she was very close to the actual outcomes (this is extremely valuable in negotiation). 2) While the hourly rates of Erica and her team were comparable to other attorneys (including the first lawyer on my case), I spent much less money on Erica because she was direct and efficient with her use of time. I highly recommend Erica Knauf Santos and her team
Erica was able to see where I needed to go before I did. I wish I would have listened to her advice initially because she was right on with her thoughts and the direction I needed to go. Fair priced and wonderful!!! Completed my entire divorce and dealt with some very complicated issues including addiction and autism.
Erica fought for me when I could not. She was compassionate, encouraging, smart and tough, and walked me through a very difficult time in my life.
Erica is an amazing attorney! She helped me navigate through my tumultuous divorce and parenting plan with patience, understanding and continuous encouragement. I really appreciated being able to have an affordable consultation prior to retaining her so that I could get an idea of how to proceed. She patiently walked me through the process and gave me great advice that helped me secure the results I needed at a reasonable price and timeline. She and her assistants continued to welcome my requests even after my divorce was finalized when new disagreements came up with my ex husband regarding our property and children. She and her assistants are always very friendly, welcoming, thorough and quick to respond. I can never thank them enough for everything they did for me! I highly recommend them!
They handled my case in the best interest of my child. Since the day of the consultation, I knew they were going to do everything possible to bring me family estability. They are very responsive and reliable!
Erica was AMAZING! My divorce was difficult to say the least. Having to subpoena just about everything due to an uncooperative ex. She went above and beyond to help me relocate back to my home state with my 2 kids. She represented the facts and was able to clearly explain to the Judge why it was necessary to relocate. She showed compassion for my situation and was fully capable of handling whatever the other attorneys bogus request/responses were. In the end I was awarded my move and primary custody of my children. I felt like she was fair in our requests and I don't think things would have ended so positive if I had a different lawyer. I highly recommend Erika for anyone going into court with children or just a difficult divorce. She is highly knowledgeable, organised and extremely compassionate.
Erica represented me during the darkest phase of my life when I had to go through a divorce process after 16 years of marriage (18 years of relationship). It was a complicated case in a sense that I did not see the divorce coming as my ex hid all the extra marital activities and communal assets waste behind my back. I was a trusting stay at home parent for 12 years who fully trusted my spouse. Erica fought for mine and my kids' rights. She does not sugar coat things and keep expectations realistic, which I appreciate. She's easy to work with. During moments when I did not understand why she advised certain things, she's open to hear my input and patiently help me understand. Erica uncovered all the extra marital activities that my ex did. It was a tough thing to face, but I needed to know all the details to get clarity and heal. Erica's staff were equally wonderful. They are quick to response and always attentive to my needs. One of them even ran from the lobby with a box of tissues when I was inside Erica's office wailing crying from discovering all the extra marital things my ex did. Erica and her staff are always careful with their clients' finances. They are always careful with the legal fees because they understand money is tight during divorce process. Erica saved my and my children's lives. I highly recommend Erica and her staff.
Erica is a true professional and a compassionate person; she helped me overcome great emotional distress and guided me through a very difficult divorce. I felt I was lucky to have her and her team in my corner because they offered me support and encouragement even when I was ready to give up. Erica had my and my daughter's best interest at heart and fought for what she knew to be a fair settlement.
Erica has been our attorney for over 5 years through an incredibly challenging parenting plan/custody matter. She listens, and remembers and is highly knowledgeable, responsive, and highly respected by the courts and judges. She's witty, well spoken, throughout as well as to the point which judges take notice of! This matters! She has guided us and fought incredibly hard to keep our child safe in an extremely high conflict situation. Our child has flourished because of the incredible effort, time, energy, and true gift Mrs. Santos has. She's been a literal earth angel to us and we would recommend her to anyone seeking legal counsel.

It was a complicated case in a sense that I did not see the divorce coming as my ex hid all the extra marital activities and communal assets waste behind my back. I was a trusting stay at home parent for 12 years who fully trusted my spouse. Erica fought for mine and my kids' rights. She does not sugar coat things and keep expectations realistic, which I appreciate. She's easy to work with. During moments when I did not understand why she advised certain things, she's open to hear my input and patiently help me understand. Erica uncovered all the extra marital activities that my ex did. It was a tough thing to face, but I needed to know all the details to get clarity and heal. Erica's staff were equally wonderful. They are quick to response and always attentive to my needs. One of them even ran from the lobby with a box of tissues when I was inside Erica's office wailing crying from discovering all the extra marital things my ex did. Erica and her staff are always careful with their clients' finances. They are always careful with the legal fees because they understand money is tight during divorce process. Erica saved my and my children's lives. I highly recommend Erica and her staff.
Erica is a true professional and a compassionate person; she helped me overcome great emotional distress and guided me through a very difficult divorce. I felt I was lucky to have her and her team in my corner because they offered me support and encouragement even when I was ready to give up. Erica had my and my daughter's best interest at heart and fought for what she knew to be a fair settlement.
Erica has been our attorney for over 5 years through an incredibly challenging parenting plan/custody matter. She listens, and remembers and is highly knowledgeable, responsive, and highly respected by the courts and judges. She's witty, well spoken, throughout as well as to the point which judges take notice of! This matters! She has guided us and fought incredibly hard to keep our child safe in an extremely high conflict situation. Our child has flourished because of the incredible effort, time, energy, and true gift Mrs. Santos has. She's been a literal earth angel to us and we would recommend her to anyone seeking legal counsel. She's been by our side through a full trial and countless motions since and we are so very pleased with the level of service and support she has given to our family. We honestly don't know where we'd be without her. We would give her 10 stars if we could! She is the absolute best in her field! Forever grateful to the expertise and professionalism and her impeccable work on our case. Thank you, Mrs. Santos!
Erica represented me during both my divorce and domestic violence protection order hearings. She and her staff never treated me like I was a means to the bottom line: they were empathetic human beings who understood what I was going through and made me feel supported. Erica and her team ferociously defended me and worked to protect me and my son. Erica is so experienced she always seemed to be one step ahead of the game, and she was able to accurately predict the outcome of different choices, which was extremely helpful in coming to some difficult conclusions. She was completely transparent with me the entire experience which reduced the number of surprises we had along the way, in turn reducing my anxiety. I can't imagine having done this with any other lawyer, and I'm so thankful to the entire Knauf Santos team for their consistency, reliability, and thoughtful care of my family.
Erica and her team were phenomenal. They picked up my case from another lawyer and really were everything I expected, and more. Two things I would point out specifically for others looking for a divorce attorney: 1) Erica has a very good grasp on likely outcomes in court or arbitration - before temp orders (court) and final orders (arbitration) I got Erica's opinion on what a likely outcome was, and both times she was very close to the actual outcomes (this is extremely valuable in negotiation). 2) While the hourly rates of Erica and her team were comparable to other attorneys (including the first lawyer on my case), I spent much less money on Erica because she was direct and efficient with her use of time. I highly recommend Erica Knauf Santos and her team
Erica was able to see where I needed to go before I did. I wish I would have listened to her advice initially because she was right on with her thoughts and the direction I needed to go. Fair priced and wonderful!!! Completed my entire divorce and dealt with some very complicated issues including addiction and autism.
Erica fought for me when I could not. She was compassionate, encouraging, smart and tough, and walked me through a very difficult time in my life.
Erica is an amazing attorney! She helped me navigate through my tumultuous divorce and parenting plan with patience, understanding and continuous encouragement. I really appreciated being able to have an affordable consultation prior to retaining her so that I could get an idea of how to proceed. She patiently walked me through the process and gave me great advice that helped me secure the results I needed at a reasonable price and timeline. She and her assistants continued to welcome my requests even after my divorce was finalized when new disagreements came up with my ex husband regarding our property and children. She and her assistants are always very friendly, welcoming, thorough and quick to respond. I can never thank them enough for everything they did for me! I highly recommend them!
They handled my case in the best interest of my child. Since the day of the consultation, I knew they were going to do everything possible to bring me family estability. They are very responsive and reliable!
Erica was AMAZING! My divorce was difficult to say the least. Having to subpoena just about everything due to an uncooperative ex. She went above and beyond to help me relocate back to my home state with my 2 kids. She represented the facts and was able to clearly explain to the Judge why it was necessary to relocate. She showed compassion for my situation and was fully capable of handling whatever the other attorneys bogus request/responses were. In the end I was awarded my move and primary custody of my children. I felt like she was fair in our requests and I don't think things would have ended so positive if I had a different lawyer. I highly recommend Erika for anyone going into court with children or just a difficult divorce. She is highly knowledgeable, organised and extremely compassionate.
