Erica Anderson

I am a Colorado Native and was raised in Boulder County. I am a dedicated criminal defense attorney with six years of experience. Upon graduation from law school, I served as a Judicial Law Clerk for two District Court Judges with a criminal docket. The knowledge I gained from this clerkship has assisted me in understanding how Judges receive and evaluate arguments presented in high-level, complex criminal cases.

After my clerkship, I became an attorney at Sawyer Legal Group and assisted hundreds of clients across the state of Colorado with various matters including, but not limited to, pre-charge representation, pre-trial negotiations and litigation, jury trials, bench trials, sentencing hearings, civil protection order hearings, punitive contempt proceedings, deregistration hearings, and sealing hearings.

I took a brief hiatus from Sawyer Legal Group to provide defense services at the Colorado Public Defender's Office. At the Public Defender's Office, I handled a very high volume of criminal cases with charges ranging from low-level petty offenses and traffic infractions to serious felonies.

These experiences have provided me with a well-rounded understanding of courtroom procedure, judicial decision-making, as well as effective defense strategies and advocacy both inside and outside of the courtroom.

In addition to this experience, it is important to me to bring a certain level of compassion to each of my clients. Each client is experiencing one of the most stressful and overwhelming moments in their life and I approach each case with a certain level of respect, empathy, and honesty. I work hard to ensure that each client is heard, informed, and vigorously represented.
