Erica Auer

Erica Auer is a criminal defense lawyer at Morris Law PC, A Criminal Defense Firm  who represents people accused of crimes in courts throughout the Bay Area. Her practice is grounded in criminal defense and civil rights advocacy, with experience involving public defender offices, criminal justice reform organizations, and post-conviction relief work. Before entering law, she spent nearly a decade in business operations and analytics within the Bay Area technology sector, experience that informs her strategic and detail-focused approach to litigation.

Erica earned her law degree from the University of Miami, School of Law. She received a B.S. in Accounting from California State University, East Bay. Her commitment to criminal defense developed before law school through volunteer work with Each One Reach One, where she served as an academic tutor supporting incarcerated youth. That experience exposed her to the juvenile justice system and helped shape her decision to pursue a legal career focused on defense and advocacy.

Erica represents individuals facing criminal accusations and works to protect their rights throughout the legal process. Her background includes experience with public defender offices and organizations focused on criminal justice reform and post-conviction relief. She combines legal analysis with the operational and analytical skills developed during her earlier technology-sector career, bringing a structured approach to case preparation, factual review, and litigation strategy in matters that can carry serious personal and legal consequences.

Erica Auer is admitted to practice in California and continues to focus her work on criminal defense and civil rights advocacy. She is a member of the Alameda County Bar Association and the Contra Costa County Bar Association. Her professional background combines courtroom advocacy, public-defense experience, reform-oriented legal work, and years of business operations experience. She approaches representation with attention to detail, strategic preparation, and a commitment to defending clients through difficult stages of the criminal justice process.
