About Erica L.
Erica L. Pereira earned her bachelor’s degree from the University of Massachusetts–Dartmouth in 2005 and went on to receive her J.D. from Roger Williams University School of Law in 2009. Her academic path combined a regional undergraduate education with a New England law school experience. The sequence set the stage for a career rooted in Massachusetts courts and local legal organizations.
Her early work included a role as an accounting associate at Whelan Associates in 2003. That work preceded law school and gave her practical exposure to business and financial matters. In 2008 she began working at The Keches Law Group, P.C. During the years that followed she moved into litigation practice and courtroom representation. She is admitted to practice in Massachusetts and in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts, and she has handled matters in both state and federal forums.
Pereira’s professional affiliations trace a steady involvement in the Massachusetts legal community. She is a member of the Massachusetts Bar Association and the Boston Bar Association. She also belongs to the Women’s Bar Association, the Bristol County Bar Association, and the Massachusetts Academy of Trial Lawyers. These memberships reflect a practice that is tied to local bar activity and trial practice networks rather than to academic or policy roles.
Colleagues describe her approach as straightforward and methodical. She favors clear legal writing and careful preparation. In litigation settings she prepares evidence, manages procedural filings, and appears on behalf of clients in contested matters. Her accounting background informs how she handles financial documents and client reports. That mix of analytical and courtroom work shapes the contours of her practice.
Outside the courtroom she participates in the professional life of the bar. She attends continuing legal education and contributes to group discussions and events through the associations she belongs to. She has built a practice that sits at the intersection of civil procedure and client-facing advocacy, backed by a foundation in business-related tasks from earlier work experience.
Erica L. Pereira continues to practice at The Keches Law Group, P.C. Her work involves advising and representing clients in matters before Massachusetts courts and in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts, and her current practice centers on litigation in state and federal courts.
