Known for her compassion for her clients and a willingness to go the extra mile to ensure that their concerns are addressed, Erin joined GRGB as a law clerk after graduating cum laude from Marquette University with a degree in print journalism. She accepted a position as an Associate Attorney after receiving her law degree from Marquette University Law School in May 2006.

Erin is recognized throughout the legal community as one of the State of Wisconsin’s up-and-coming attorneys. As a result of her efforts, she was selected by her peers for inclusion in The Best Lawyers in America 2019-2022 and in 2017, she was identified as a Leader in the Law by the Wisconsin Law Journal. Erin has also received the prestigious Super Lawyers Rising Star award every year, from 2009 to 2020 and graduated to “Super Lawyer” in 2021.

A Milwaukee native, Erin is dedicated to providing legal services to her hometown community.
