Competent but room for improvement

Erika Gebhardt handled my complex family law case with a solid understanding of the legal process, particularly in mediation and arbitration, which were both recognized areas of her practice. Her 13 years of experience were evident in how she approached negotiations and settlement discussions. However, there were some delays in communication, especially when waiting for responses to emails or follow-up calls. While her legal expertise was clear, I sometimes felt her availability could have been better. The outcome was fair, though not as swiftly resolved as I had hoped. For those needing a knowledgeable attorney in family law, she is capable, but managing expectations around timeliness and responsiveness is important.

Competent but Could Improve

Erika handled my divorce mediation competently, leveraging her 13 years of experience and arbitration recognition to navigate complex financial disclosures. However, responses took longer than expected, and updates were sometimes vague. While her expertise in family law mediation is clear, clearer communication and timelier follow-ups would have made the experience smoother.

Skilled and Compassionate Family Law Attorney

As someone navigating a complex divorce and custody battle, I couldn’t have asked for a more knowledgeable and compassionate advocate than Erika Gebhardt. Her 13 years of experience in family law were evident in every step of the process, from negotiating settlements to advocating fiercely in mediation. Erika’s recognition in family law and mediation—especially her expertise in arbitration—proved invaluable in resolving disputes efficiently. She took the time to explain legal nuances in a way I could understand, ensuring I made informed decisions. While her responsiveness was excellent in critical moments, there were a few instances where follow-ups took slightly longer than expected. Despite that, her strategic approach and empathy made the process as smooth as possible. If you need a family law attorney who combines professionalism with genuine care, Erika is the right choice.

Competent but needs improvement

Erika Gebhardt handled my divorce proceedings with professionalism, though I wish communication had been more consistent. Her 13 years of experience in family law were evident in her strategic approach, particularly during mediation sessions. The recognition she’s earned in family law arbitration was reassuring, though wait times for responses sometimes stretched unnecessarily. While the outcome was fair, I expected more proactive updates. Overall, her expertise in Colorado family law is solid, but I’d recommend setting clearer expectations for responsiveness.
