I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Erika Smitherman 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 always be grateful for her defense.
I would NOT recommend to hire Erika and Petroff Law. She was telling me that she is a great lawyer, bulldog who will fight for my interests but right before the hearing she provided me total different promises from what was said during the settement. The day of the hearing she came totally unprepared - no paper (wrote the numbers on the oppossite paper and asked me to talk with the opposite party lawyer myself to convince me to accept bad for me financial result), no notebook. The draft of the divorce decree was made with a lot of grammar mistakes and was taken from the template offered by the opposite party. I spent 5 hours correcting and checking the decree myself and it still came out with a lot of mistakes (even after I asked for corrections) and with a lot of things that are not in the childs' best interest. Financial part of my divorce was totally not in my favor and Erika did nothing to help. Before the settlment I didn't get a lot of emails/docs in time or asked for the same.
