Erica Martinez, Legal Assistant and Paralegal
Erica has only lived in two states–Oregon and South Dakota. While she hasn’t seen much of this country (has only been to California once if you don’t count layovers) she has seen the world. Erica has been to Ireland 4x (but who is counting?), England, Wales, France, Germany, Austria, Romania, Cyprus, and Jordan, and of course Mexico. There is nothing not fun about traveling.
Erica knew she wanted to be a lawyer ever since she watched Matlock as a child. Her passion is immigration law, mainly due to her parents arriving in this country without papers.
Erica has earned her B.S. in Economics at Southern Oregon University in Ashland, OR and her J.D. at University of South Dakota Knudson School of Law in Vermillion, South Dakota.
