Erika took my out of state case with limited time before trial, and minimal prep. She researched, prepped, litigated, and was a god send. Very intelligent, informative, professional, and highly knowledgeable about child custody laws. Will definitely refer Erika to everybody I can.
I live in Nevada and needed an attorney for my custody trial in Michigan. As I was researching online, I ran across Erika on AVVO, Calling her was the best decision I made. Erika fights for her clients like no other! She will take the time to listen and will keep you on the right track! She is very well prepared and will make sure you go in ready for battle. She is very aggressive with witnesses while on the stand and due to years of experience can see the openings to "Call a Spade a Spade" so to speak. I couldn't have found a better attorney for my case! That being said, If you need a powerhouse, I feel she is the best one out there!
I contacted Ms. Salerno to counsel with her regarding an upcoming guardianship case. My legal guardianship was being challenged in court by my step-brother. I had just about a week before the trial date and I was not sure what could be done in such a short space of time. I was very impressed by Ms. Salerno She was thorough, clear, compassionate, and extremely well informed. I was very impressed by my interaction over the phone. Even though I was unable to retain her due primarily to the time constraints, she was so helpful. She sent me a lengthy email detailing what steps I needed to do well in court. This timely advice enabled me to go to court, work in my own behalf and ultimately win in the court. I will probably need her services in the future and I will not hesitate to contact her. I would be very comfortable referring her to my friends as well. As a physician, I know excellence when I meet it. Ms. Salerno in my view is an exceptional professional.
I am an out of state single father with a 6 year old living in Michigan. I previously hired an attorney to establish paternity and visitation. Things quickly got sideways and I was in a hole. I knew things were not being handled properly so I did some research and after consultation I hired Erika. Erika was able to step in, take control of the matter and ultimately get me what i wanted. As in most cases, you get what you pay for. I would highly recommend Erika for your custody matters.
