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. She has a well-rounded litigation practice, representing clients in probate, trust, insurance, employment, business, and other civil disputes. She also provides employment and regulatory guidance to her business clients. She is a frequent speaker on probate topics to other attorneys in Wisconsin.
When she is not providing solutions for clients, Erin cheers on the Bears, Cubs and Fighting Illini and she just concluded her service as President of the alumnae association of her alma mater, Divine Savior Holy Angels High School. She lives just north of Milwaukee with her husband and fellow GRGB partner, Chris, their daughter, Emma, and their two dogs, Leia and Rosie.
