About
Erin, the CEO and Founder of ErinSchaden.com, is a seasoned professional with over 28 years of experience in the legal field. As a licensed attorney in Maryland, New Mexico, and the District of Columbia, Erin's career has been marked by her diverse experiences and her unwavering commitment to helping clients navigate the complex and often emotionally charged landscape of family law.
From her early days as a family law litigator in Washington, DC, to her tenure as the Executive Director of a high-end boutique family law firm in Montecito, California, Erin has always been dedicated to providing her clients with the support and guidance they need to move forward in their lives.
In April 2022, Erin made the bold decision to leave the law firm world and launch her own coaching and mediation practice, focusing on helping families navigate the challenges of divorce and custody disputes.
