Narrative
Erin is an experienced family law attorney and has handled cases in all areas of family law including divorce, child custody, child support, alimony, division of property and debt, contempt, and family violence proceedings. Erin began her private practice with Schulten Ward and Turner in 1996 with a general civil litigation practice that included some family law as well as business litigation, construction litigation, contract disputes, dissolution of partnerships, personal injury and other general litigation. As her practice grew, Erin decided to focus her practice exclusively on family law and upon becoming a partner in 2003, heads the Family Law Section of the firm. Erin is an experienced trial lawyer having participated as lead counsel in jury trials, bench trials and numerous hearings in Superior and State courts in the many counties of Metro Atlanta as well as in Savannah and Macon. Erin has also participated in cases in federal court in the Northern District of Georgia and Southern District of New York. Erin feels that in family law her courtroom experience is crucial because clients often need the assistance of the court in order to protect their safety and financial security. Erin is a trained mediator and is able to bring that training and insight to her own client settlement negotiations and mediations as well as serve as a mediator/neutral. Erin also offers her clients a network of relationships with professionals such as accountants, financial advisors, security experts and private investigators as well as a network of lawyers in other states and countries through the firm's affiliation with Legal NetLink. Before coming to SWT, Erin served as a law clerk to honorable Joel J. Fryer, Fulton County Superior Court, Atlanta Judicial Circuit Court (June 1994 - December 1996). Erin is an Atlanta native. She grew up in Sandy Springs, graduated from Riverwood High School and now lives in Dunwoody with her husband and two children.
