Erin is a highly experienced professional with over sixteen years dedicated to legal, non-profit, education, and government services. Her combined skill set as a highly effective communicator, in-depth researcher, and analytical thinker who quickly identifies and breaks down complex issues into simple problems for easy understanding and resolution, makes her a top choice for legal consultation and representation.
Before joining Parlatore Law Group, Erin worked for the USO non-profit organization as the Pacific Region Operations Manager, negotiating, drafting, and reviewing commercial and service contracts to support USO operations, fundraising, and programs for USO centers overseas in Guam, Hawaii, Japan, Korea, Okinawa, and international contracts for expeditionary locations in Australia, Thailand, and Singapore. Her experience also includes providing legal counsel to active-duty service members and military spouses at the United States Marine Corps Legal Office at Camp Foster, Okinawa, Japan as a volunteer attorney.

Erin advocates on behalf of military families and veterans. She helped draft and lead advocacy efforts for the Kentucky Supreme Court’s adoption of Kentucky Supreme Court Rule 3.040 and Kentucky legislature’s adoption of Kentucky Revised Statute 12.357 – both pieces of legislation support military spouse professionals. She is a resource for groups seeking legislative/lobbying legal analysis across a broad spectrum. From cross-checking conflicts with existing laws, to pulling language from other states laws, to articulating key arguments to elected officials, to creating new and relevant legislation, she is eager to serve as counsel for lobbying and non-profit organizations seeking to make their communities a better place to live.
