Hired Attorney Erin Kopelman

I worked with Erin on my rather lengthy, complex divorce proceeding, and from the moment we began working together, I knew Erin was the right fit. She patiently outlined my options at every turn, was incredibly responsive and timely with all filings and inquiries, and presented creative solutions to help navigate what would otherwise have been an incredibly difficult experience. Her whole team of support staff and attorneys were easy to work with, incredibly skilled, and made sure that my divorce proceeding was resolved in the most advantageous way possible. She was available on weekends and after hours as my schedule allowed to check-in on my case, and demonstrated a level of empathy and patience for my situation that left a lasting impression. I cannot recommend her enough for any case of a sensitive or personal nature - she's skilled, professional, and effective, and also supportive and empathetic.

Erin is a tremendous attorney. With empathy and determination, she managed an emotionally wrought divorce and custody process with skill. Her honest, kind approach to conflict resolution helped me through the most difficult period of my life and helped me understand that the future can be a hopeful and not a scary place. I can’t imagine going through my divorce without Erin as my advocate.

Working with Erin on my divorce was a gift! The first lawyer I hired was not compassionate and unresponsive - the exact opposite of Erin. From day 1 with Erin on my team, I never doubted in her abilities to get the settlement over and done in a thoughtful and thorough way. I also applaud Erin on her compassion throughout a difficult and emotional process. She knew when we needed to pause the process and when we needed to muddle through. The follow up after the divorce was final was exceptional. Truly the best!

I am the POA for a friend who recently went thru a divorce. After a dreadful experience with another attorney, we found Erin thru a personal recommendation. What a game changer! When I say we hit the jackpot, I am not exaggerating. Erin was as different from the former attorney as could be. She was responsive, compassionate, efficient and professional. She was sensitive about the expense of duplicating efforts (only bc the original attorney's staff could not produce important documents and information), and I'm sure she did not charge us as much as she could have to redo things we'd already paid for. Erin has an extraordinary command of her field and a pretty good BS meter, both of which saved us much time and expense. Despite facing many obstacles, Erin quickly negotiated a settlement we found more than acceptable. She saved us thousands of dollars by her speed and tenacity, and she was an absolute delight to work with. Bottom line: I recommend Erin Kopelman unreservedly.

In the summer of 2019 I went to Lerch, Early & Brewer to meet with Erin Kopelman. I needed a divorce from my 36 year old marriage. We had properties and retirement accounts and a life insurance policy that he had stopped payment on. Erin set me up with an appraiser to evaluate the properties and she helped me retrieve $90,000 in life insurance that we didn’t even realize had value and she arranged for the retirement accounts to be split. Then the pandemic hits. We did the rest of the divorce under the same conditions that we are currently under now except the courts were closed. As soon as they reopened she filed and while the divorce was final in August there were still a few things that took time. We finished completely last week. I received exactly half of everything. Erin took care of everything for me and didn’t let go until it was completely done. I think hiring her was the best money I’ve ever spent.
