About Erin Bradley
Erin Bradley McAleer built her legal foundation at American University, where she earned a Bachelor of Science in 2005. She returned to Michigan for her legal studies, receiving a J.D. from Western Michigan University Cooley Law School in 2010. She also completed postgraduate coursework toward an LL.M. at Cooley, expanding her academic background in the years after law school.
After completing her formal education, McAleer took the customary steps to practice law at both the state and federal levels. She is admitted to practice in Washington state and is also admitted to the bar of the Ninth Circuit and the U.S. Supreme Court. Those admissions allow her to handle matters that move beyond trial courts and into appellate forums.
She practices through the Law Office of Erin Bradley McAleer. The office handles client matters in a range of proceedings. Her work has included filings and advocacy in federal appellate settings, reflecting the admissions she holds. McAleer combines courtroom work with written advocacy, moving cases through administrative processes and into higher courts when necessary.
During her career she has balanced casework with continuing legal education. She maintains professional memberships and participates in the networks that keep lawyers current on evolving law and procedure. That engagement helps her manage the procedural demands of appellate filings and high-level motions.
Colleagues describe her approach as thorough and deliberate. She prepares briefs and oral arguments with attention to statutory detail and precedent. Her training at Cooley, including post-J.D. coursework, informs a methodical approach to complex legal questions. She has handled matters that required coordination across trial and appellate courts, and she is familiar with the differences in strategy those forums require.
Clients come to her office for representation in state matters and for counsel when cases reach federal appellate review. She represents clients in Washington state and in federal appellate proceedings, including before the Ninth Circuit and the U.S. Supreme Court.
