Associate
Erin focuses her practice on employment law and civil litigation. Erin joined Vasseghi Law Group as an associate after clerking for the Firm while awaiting her bar results.
Erin graduated from the University of Maryland, Francis King Carey School of Law where she focused her studies on business, employment, and disability/special education law. Her passion for disability and employment law brought her to the Civil Rights of Persons with Disabilities Clinic, where she provided legal assistance and advice to clients with disabilities in conjunction with the National Association of the Deaf and supervised other clinic students. While she was in law school, she was able to gain experience through various clerkships, such as working for a mid-sized law firm and a sole employment law practitioner in Montgomery County, Maryland.
Although Erin is a recent graduate, she is no stranger to the law, because she comes from a family of attorneys. Her first negotiation occurred at the age of two when she said, “lets negotiate a Hershey kiss for breakfast,” rather than eat her oatmeal and she began assisting her mother with document production at age five.
