Attorney Bio

Brad Erdman is an associate attorney at Mirabella, Kincaid, Frederick & Mirabella, where he exclusively practices family law and civil appellate litigation. With his financial and accounting background, Brad has experience with difficult financial issues, including business valuations, account tracing, and complex asset division, in both contested and collaborative proceedings.

Brad’s financial acumen directly translates into his general approach to family law. “Navigating your client to a successful outcome is not just about meeting their needs. Its about exceeding them in the most cost-effective manner possible. In family law, this means empowering your clients with the information they need to make an informed decision on the resolution of their case. Sometimes this means advising your client to take the matter to trial. Other times, it means taking a more collaborative approach. Each case is different, and you need to adapt not only to the circumstances but also your client’s needs.”

Upon graduating from Chicago-Kent College of Law, Brad worked for a general practitioner focused on criminal and appellate work before finding his niche in family law. During law school, Brad was a merit scholarship recipient, research assistant, and listed on the Dean’s List.

When not practicing law, Brad enjoys cycling, dining, NBA basketball, reading, and traveling with his wife, Kate, and dog, Oliver.
