Walsh & Walsh, LLP - Rockford (IL)

1 /5 Amanda Strohmeyer: I would give her zero stars but had to give 1. She is 1 sided and cares only about money. She is not about what is best for the children. We had her from 2018 to 2024. She came to our home 1 time and met with her twice. Was supposed to have a phone appointment with her but she never called us at the scheduled time. We Called her office and her assistant said Mrs. Erin tried to call us, which we had the phone in hand and we had no missed voicemail. So she lies and she lies in court. Her billing is a joke so make sure to check your billing! SHE NEVER returns your calls and can never talk to her only her assistant.Its been hell having her. So if you are appointed her for your GAL ask for a new one asap!! She destroys familys and cares more about the money instead of the best interest of the children. Aweful experience with her.

5 /5 Sarah R: Attorney Erin Walsh was assigned to represent my son in our custody case. She was amazing. She listened to everything I had to say also being really proactive. I felt extremely comfortable with her and she always reassured me that everything would be ok. My son also felt comfortable with her. Between her and my Attorney Faye Lyon working together I would not have done it without either of them. They both hold a special place in my heart. Thank you for your hard work Erin!

5 /5 Mindy Minor: Erin Walsh was assigned as the GAL to represent my three children and their best interest. Attorney Walsh is difficult to reach and you will need to set up appointments for some, but not all communication. Sometimes her colleague comes to court on her behalf. This is not a negative by any means. Erin Walsh has many, many cases she is responsible for. One cannot expect her to be reachable 24/7. Also, emergencies happen and she will need to send someone in her place (severe harm and an emergency new court appearance for a client she has may be the cause of having to send someone else for a certain case). I was so scared going through this process but she immediately put me at ease. She is so very kind and knows the law extremely well. She did an unbelievably thorough investigation. I was so nervous for my children to be questioned and spoken to without a parent present but my children expressed to me afterwards that she was very nice and they liked her a lot. Erin Walsh responded to emails quickly if it required a response. In every decision she made, it was apparent she had my childrens best interest in mind. Most importantly my children were never treated as "another client". To this day I still have no clue if she liked me as a person and thats is very important. She took not my side, not the fathers side but the kids side. She sifted through facts and evidence. I cant say enough nice things about her and the firm including Meghan bolte.

1 /5 Mel: Walsh has been appointed as a gal for my case for 3 years. She is driven by money and not the childs best interest. Good luck getting a hold of her. She hasnt even spoke to my son but once and that was in the beginning 3 years ago. Steer clear.

1 /5 Flyn Hwyn: I’m unable to give zero stars so this one star rating has to be it. Erin Walsh was appointed as the GAL. I know lawyers can be dishonest but she was the most dishonest one I’ve ever met. She came into my home and was bragging about all the cases she had handled and that it would be no problem getting joint custody. She even bragged about how she was scheduled to have coffee with the child counselor to discuss my case. I spoke to the counselor and was told that was not true….and that never happened before and never would in the future. Lots of other less than truthful statements made by her…in front of my other kids, and inside my home. In summary, be very wary of her and if possible, do not agree to her appointment as a GAL.
