I vetted many attorneys before selecting Erika. After meeting her it was very clear that she'd be the one I'd trust to help my son. Over the next year I learned many things about Erika, for example she would actually read the journal I sent her (sometimes several times a week), and there were times when she'd get more upset than I would over the judge's decision, which showed me that she was emotional invested in my case. But most importantly, when things got hard, and trust me they got hard, she wouldn't let me quit! She would carry the load for me, and I needed that sometimes. You see, I wasn't looking for a "great" attorney, I was looking for someone to help my son, for someone to believe me about what was happening to him. And sometimes, I was looking for someone to carry me the rest of the way. She did this for me, even on Sunday's that never showed up on my invoice. It's been a year since my case end and can I assure you she still remembers the details of my case, which are truly the details of my son's life. If your on the ropes and can't decided if she's right for you, take from someone who's been fighting in family court for over a decade, hire her and don't look back, it'll be the best decision you've today. I really hope this helps someone in need of help to connect with Ericka! BTW Ericka got me (my son) everything I asked for.

Erika inherited my difficult case very late in the game. She accepted the challenge and was able to quickly assess the situation, draw up a solid plan, hunt down all parties and reach a positive resolution within a few weeks...for a case that had lingered for over a year in the legal system. She is nothing short of amazing.

I couldn't have asked for a better experience. She was kind, professional, and very knowledgeable of the law. I wanted my case dismissed due to lack of jurisdiction and that's exactly what happened. She was absolutely stellar. I wouldn't hesitate a minute using her again. She is compassionate AND competent...two qualities rarely seen together. What more can I say.... she is a total class act and came through for me. I will ways be grateful for her defense.

Erika helped me navigate through my recent dissolution. Her confident, knowledgeable and compassionate approach helped relieve my anxiety about the process. She and her team made the process quick and painless. I didn't even have to go to the courthouse to complete the process. I would highly recommend Erika and her team to everyone going through a divorce/dissolution.

Erika represented me very well throughout my entire court battle for my son. My case was a unique case and she took it on with no concerns and ensured me she would fight hard for me and that is just what she did. She was very well prepared at every court appearance and always listened to everything I had to say throughout the process. I have dealt with other attorneys in the past that have recommended doing certain things that were very costly and just ended up being a waste of time and money but Erika was not that way. She was very good at advising me on whether we should pursue certain things and was not just out to make money off of my case. I would definitely recommend her and I have done so already since my case has ended. I was very pleased at the results for my case and will admit she fights for what you want and typically gets what she fights for. Thank you Erika for your service and thank you Petroff.

Erika Smitherman is an extremely ethical and professional attorney. What sets her apart from the rest, is her empathy and loyalty to her clients. (There are seldom attorney's in it because they care.) The emotional support and honesty provided by Erika is rare to find. When we came to see her our family life was in shambles (due to a Military move out of state)... But Erika gave us hope and decided to take our case when others would not even consider it. Erika stood ready to help our family during a stressful and challenging situation. She is tenacious in fighting for your rights as a parent and your best interests. Erika guided us through the process, step by step, was very responsive, and her rates were extremely affordable. This was our first experience hiring a lawyer and we are more than happy with the outcome and our choice to have her represent us in a custody case.

Erica Smitherman is an excellent attorney. She has incredible knowledge and experience in family law. From the very beginning, it was apparent that her high personal standards and moral ethics made her the right choice to represent my case. She earnestly cares about her clients and tries to place herself in their shoes to gain a deeper understanding of the situation as a whole while still remaining objective and applying her vast knowledge and skills to positively affect the outcome of the situation. The whole team at her firm is equally amazing and should also be noted for the endless amount of support and research they do behind the scenes as well. Erika and the team at Petroff exemplify what attorney's should be in the eyes of the public and certainly have set the bar at a very high level. I would highly recommend them and thank them for all that they have done for me and my family. The effects of their services will be long lasting and completely immeasurable in lives of my children. Thank you from my heart, soul, mind, and strength. Words will never be enough.

We were referred to Attorney Smitherman by a friend who used her services in the past. Attorney Smitherman was very honest and upfront from the very beginning. She advised us exactly what to do and what to expect during the proceedings. Everything turned out great in the end. What a wonderful experience to have an attorney who actually has knowledge of the system and cares about what happens.

Erika took advantage of the fact I was stationed 12 hours away, ignored emails and phone calls and let them add up so she could charge more. Claimed to have Judge in her pocket since her boss was funding her election campaign. Didnt do a single thing that I as her client wanted done. Failed to properly inform me that I still had custodial rights of my children. Signed documents and agreements that I had no knowlege of. Bakrupted and still fighting for my rights as a father. Do yourself a favor and avoid this attorney.
