ERIN E. POWERS

Erin is a criminal defense attorney at BK Law Group. She has practiced exclusively in the area of criminal defense since graduating from law school. Prior to moving into private practice, Erin worked as a Public Defender in the Tenth District where she learned the importance of vigorously advocating on behalf of her clients, and making sure her clients knew they had someone fighting for them. Erin’s passion for defending those who have been accused of crimes stems from her strong belief in the presumption of innocence and the State’s burden of proof beyond a reasonable doubt.

Erin attended the University of St. Thomas School of Law. While in law school, she was noticed for her progressive stance on Vacatur Provisions, and drafted a proposed piece of legislature with her classmate. Erin’s firm belief of equity in the criminal justice system translates into her everyday practice.

Erin takes great pride in her work and the overall representation of clients. Her favorite part of being a criminal defense attorney is effectively communicating with her clients. When Erin is not in the courtroom or at the office, she enjoys attending Packer games, and spending time with her significant other, family and friends.
