Professional Background

Since starting her career, Erika’s commitment and ability have helped her progress quickly within the firm. She is currently studying alongside her practice as she works towards qualifying as a Solicitor, reflecting both her strong work ethic and dedication to the profession. She is particularly passionate about building trusted relationships with clients and works tirelessly to achieve the best possible outcomes for them.

Erika’s Approach

“Navigating the CICA scheme can feel overwhelming for survivors who have already been through so much. I am deeply passionate about this work because I believe every client deserves an ally who listens with genuine empathy and advocates with absolute determination. For me, this is about more than securing a financial award; it is about providing clear, compassionate support that helps survivors move forward with their lives.”

Notable Results

Erika has a strong track record of progressing complex claims that have stalled. In one recent case, she took over a highly sensitive childhood sexual abuse claim that had been delayed in the CICA system since 2023 with little meaningful progress. Recognising the distress this was causing the client, Erika took decisive action and moved the matter forward, securing settlement of the high-value claim within just five months.

Outside Work

Outside work, Erika enjoys keeping active and making the most of her time away from legal practice and study. She can often be found on a long hike, training at the gym, or taking on the challenge of learning something completely new.

Nothing was ever too much and they always got back to me the same day. Excellent communication, service and result. It was worth the money they took from the settlement.

For anyone who is wondering if its worth going through this process, I say yes. Stacey has been absolutely brilliant all the way through the process and constantly kept me updated on my case. Yes it was a long process but that was also down to me disengaging with Stacey for various reasons. I cannot thank Stacey and Erika enough for all they have done over the years. I wish them all nothing but success. Thank you. - June 2025
