About Erika
Erika Eassa earned her law degree from Valparaiso University School of Law after completing undergraduate studies at Eastern Illinois University. She arrived at law school having built a liberal arts foundation and left with the credentials to begin practicing in Illinois. The educational path she followed combined classroom work with the practical demands of legal training.
Her early professional steps have been steady. In 2020 she joined Blacha Law Office, LLC as an associate attorney. That position placed her inside a small-firm environment where junior lawyers often carry a wide range of responsibilities. Her time there has included legal research, drafting pleadings and client correspondence, and participating in case preparation alongside more senior lawyers.
Eassa is a member of the State Bar of Illinois. That membership is current. She participates in the bar as a way to remain informed about state rules and developments that affect everyday practice. Membership in the state bar also provides access to continuing legal education and professional resources that support courtroom work and counseling clients.
Colleagues describe her approach as methodical. She tends to break complex problems into manageable parts and to prepare files carefully. That style is useful at a practice that handles diverse client needs. She has worked on matters that require attention to procedural detail and on assignments that demand clear written work for judges and opposing counsel.
Her career to date has been anchored at Blacha Law Office, LLC. The firm has been the setting for her courtroom experience, client meetings and drafting responsibilities. Working in a firm environment has given her repeated opportunities to manage deadlines and to take part in the litigation lifecycle, from intake through discovery and motion practice.
As of 2026 she continues at Blacha Law Office, LLC and remains active in the State Bar of Illinois. Her current practice concentrates on representing the firm's clients and handling the kinds of state-level matters the firm undertakes.
