20West Legal Team
ERICA ENDYKE / FOUNDING ATTORNEY
Erica is the visionary behind the establishment of 20West Legal. Inaugurating the firm's doors back in 2018, Erica intentionally designed the practice around a relationship-centric approach, a notable departure from the conventional transactional model prevalent in estate planning law firms.
Within Erica's practice, the emphasis lies in spending quality time with clients, offering education and guidance to empower them in crafting personalized plans that align with their unique needs, desires, and aspirations. Erica's commitment to her clients extends far beyond the mere provision of legal documents. She maintains an ongoing connection with them, ensuring that the plans they have in place remain effective and adaptive as circumstances evolve. While clients may initially arrive as strangers, they inevitably depart as cherished friends.
Erica earned her degree with honors from the University of Vermont and completed her J.D. at New England Law in 2006. In addition to her role as an attorney, Erica is a devoted mother of twins, a loving spouse, a passionate runner, and an engaged member of the Sudbury community. Her zest for life also includes a love for travel and the comforting embrace of her black Labrador puppy. Erica fully understands the demands of a busy life and strives to balance her various roles with dedication and enthusiasm.
