I would highly recommend Erin as a family law attorney and someone who actually takes pride in protecting her client through the toughest times in their lives. Erin will work tirelessly on your case and will not leave any stone unturned. Erin was very detail-oriented and organized when dealing with my case. I had many issues arise while my case was ongoing, and Erin went above and beyond for me. Erin will flat out work the opposing attorney, and it will be very evident when you see the work Erin does compared to the opposing attorney's work. Emails and phone calls were responded to promptly, sometimes even after working hours. Erin won each provision in my petition, and I couldn't be more pleased with our outcome!
Erin always had my (and my son's) best interest at heart with the divorce process. I hope I don't have to go through this again, but I was incredibly thankful to have her by my side through it.
Erin was amazing. She was very caring, approachable and kind. I felt like she had my best interest in mind the entire time. She seemed very experienced and was very knowledgeable. She was very easy to get in contact with and responded promptly. She was amazing and I highly recommend her! I would use her again!
I highly recommend Erin Penrod as a Divorce Attorney. Her respectful guidance provided me with legal insight and information that allowed me to make sound financial choices during one of the hardest times of my life. Her negotiation on my behalf resulted in a settlement I am at peace with. Through out the whole process she was more than generous with her time. My friends and family remarked numerous times that my lawyer was taking good care of me. Thanks Erin.
Erin helped me through a difficult divorce. She was very knowledgeable about how the process works and always accessible- which is so important when going through such a difficult thing. My ex-husband and his lawyer tried so many intimidation tactics and Erin knew how to handle them and how to encourage me through. I ended up with an excellent settlement via mediation that really set me up for a successful future. Thank you Erin!
I contacted Erin with a domestic dispute issue. After a consultation, I hired her and within 2 days she was able to prepare my case and win it. It was a great experience, and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone needing an attorney in this field.
Not only did she do an incredible job with my case, she was always a call or text away. Even after hours or on the weekends. Could not have hoped for a experience.
Unfortunately I’ve have to hire Erin not once but twice. My first go around I fought her every step of the way and she was patient and kind, I encourage you to listen when you attorney suggests things, if I had listened the first time I probably would not have had to hire her a second time. Erin knows the law, speaks with intelligence, integrity and kindness. I feel supported and heard and like I have someone in my corner. I am facing a gas lighting human in a custody case and I’ve sat back and let Erin take the wheel and it’s been as wonderful as it possibly could be. If you’re looking for a great family lawyer who’s supported by a great law firm, look no further!
Erin worked closely alongside my long-standing attorney, Carolyn Witkus, on a painful post-decree matter that ultimately had to be litigated. I don't wish the experience on anyone, but if you find yourself in the middle of a painful divorce that is complex, drags on, and requires a tremendous amount of discovery and attention to detail in order to resolve then this is the team/counsel for you. Erin has an excellent bedside manner, but that is not her core strength. She is incredibly productive and efficient; knows the law inside and out; thinks outside the box; and most importantly can be a barracuda when she needs to be. All this and she also happens to be incredibly pleasant and very responsive, bright and very hard working. I could not recommend Erin more highly.
I think so highly of Ms. Penrod and her legal expertise in custody law. She is highly intelligent, articulate, organized, an excellent communicator, an incredible writer, and compassionate. She has the ability to effectively advocate for her clients in very complex and high conflict custody cases. She has tremendous psychological awareness, and genuine integrity and character. She truly cares about her clients!
