Ethics/reinstatement My husband was a lawyer who referred cases to a law firm which gave him referral fees. I was a lawyer as well but I became inactive several years ago, When my husband passed away, there were many remaining cases that he had referred but had not been settled. The firm said I could receive a portion of those fees but only if I was reinstated as a lawyer. Their theory was that you cannot pay referral fees to a non-lawyer, which is usually the rule. I called Erin Joyce who immediately said those fees were an asset of his estate and that I did not need to be reinstated. She wrote me a comprehensive legal memo to that effect which I presented to the firm. I received the fees (they insisted on a lesser rate) without being reinstated. Erin Joyce and her firm were thorough and communicated with me to be sure they had a full understanding of the facts. They were extremely helpful in tho comprehensive legal memo they sent to me so that I received what was rightfully mine, I highly recommend her firm to anyone with similar issues.

Disbarment Proceedings The State Bar had a personal vendetta against me that started in 2013. They tried everything they could to take my license after I had been in private practice for over 30 years, many of them as a Certified Specialist in Criminal Law. Foolishly thinking that either I or a buddy of mine could be a match for the State Bar, I fought with them until they got me in their sights and were ready to pull the trigger. That is when I hired Erin. She ran circles around the State Bar and kept my license for me. She is the best!

Excellent representation I highly recommend Erin's office. They were knowledgeable, professional and very responsive to me.

The Authority on Legal Ethics in California I was involved in an especially contentious litigation for which I required an expert in California legal ethics. During the course of my extensive research, one name consistently came up: Erin Joyce. I hired Erin as an expert to refute allegations of ethical wrongdoing. Based on her expert opinion garnered from years of experience, the judge dismissed those claims completely. I couldn't have hoped for a better outcome. That is why I recommend Erin without hesitation.

Excellent! Erin and her staff are nothing less than amazing. She has fabulous skills and just the right temperament for any situation. She is well respected in her field, which opens doors for her that may be closed to others. I could not recommend her mote highly.

Phenomenal! I can always count on Erin and her team. They are responsive, easy to work with and know their stuff. I go to them for every ethics question the firm has, they keep us protected!

Excellent Results Excellent results, I filed a moral character determination on may 2021. On October 2021 I received a letter requesting more information about my application. After the initial consultation with Erin, I was provided with complete information about her strategy and the posible outcome. On the other hand, other firms provided very little information and stated I would unlikely get the outcome I wanted it.

A True Lawyer's Lawyer!! Wow; a true lawyer's lawyer. Erin and her team held my hand and walked me thru a process that I had never undergone in my years of practice and I couldn't be happier with their service or the outcome. Highly recommended!

Helpful and responsive I was going active in CA after years of being inactive and had questions about process and MCLE compliance. Erin was responsive, knowledgeable, and very helpful. I'll gladly call her again if I have any questions!

Effective and efficient representation I received a notice that a complaint was filed against me by some random person as part of a competitor's smear campaign. I hired Erin Joyce and literally within a week of her sending in my response, the complaint was closed out and I have nothing to worry about. Erin does an excellent job of calming you down and carefully walking through the facts of your case to present the most clear, efficient, and strongest defense. The peace of mind alone from having her on my side was well worth the reasonable fee I paid for her excellent services. I would recommend her to anyone who gets a love letter from the State Bar.

Great advice and very honest Ms. Joyce was very informative and helpful when another attorney filed a bogus bar complaint against me. I consulted with two other ethics attorneys before Ms. Joyce, both of whom tried to scare me and get me to pay them thousands of dollars. Ms. Joyce assured me that I have nothing to worry about and am capable of handling the issue on my own. I appreciate her time and her honest assessment of my case, which she did completely for free. Thank you, Ms. Joyce!

Difficult and urgent election issue resolved successfully While running for judicial office, a LA County Deputy District Attorney working in the same office as my political opponent filed a meritless claim to derail my candidacy. Erin resolved it swiftly, accurately, and in _great_ detail using my feedback, but improving it significantly. I felt in good, professional hands right away, but elections are exceptionally tricky and finicky, especially for judges. Erin handled the very difficult situation which presented some issues of first impression so well that the California state department found in my favor within hours of receiving Erin's request.


Enough said, but know this: you will simply not find a better attorney in California for these types of issues. Erin is clearly the best there is. She is also billing very transparently and fairly, which I appreciated in times of distress.

Top Notch Legal Ethics and Professional Responsibility Counsel I am an attorney who found myself in a sticky situation which, if I didn't resolve correctly could lead to significant liability. I reached out to Erin because she was a former State Bar prosecutor and asked her if she would give me an ethics opinion. She was very responsive, analytical and extremely helpful advising me on how to successfully navigate out of the situation with her opinion to support my course. I would highly recommend Ms. Joyce for any ethics needs, or any consumer analyzing legal malpractice against a lawyer or law firm. She's the consummate professional.
