Mr. Erwin has been with the firm since 2018. Prior to entering private practice, Mr. Erwin was an Assistant District Attorney for Comanche and Cotton Counties. During his time in the DA’s office, he was able to hone his skills as a trial attorney while serving the people in his hometown of Lawton, OK. After leaving the DA’s office, Mr. Erwin brought his trial experience with him into the private sector with Andrews Davis where he worked primarily in their criminal law and civil litigation practice areas. As a criminal defense attorney, Mr. Erwin represented clients in matters ranging from speeding tickets and misdemeanor DUIs to felony drug charges and multi-Defendant racketeering prosecutions. As a civil litigator, Mr. Erwin has handled cases ranging from small claims disputes to large scale construction litigation, complex business litigation, and employment and labor claims on behalf of both the employer and the employee.

A fifth generation Oklahoman, Mr. Erwin graduated magna cum laude from the University of Oklahoma in 2011 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in English and a minor in classical cultures. He received his Juris Doctor from the University of Oklahoma College of Law in 2014.

He received the Student Bar Association Prize for his service to the student body, the Public Service Award for his pro bono work in both civil and criminal legal clinics, a Top Ten Speaker Award in moot court, and was included on the Dean's List for his academic achievements.

Outside of his practice, Mr. Erwin has dedicated substantial time to service to the Oklahoma Bar Association. He has served in every possible leadership role within the Young Lawyers Division including District 9 director, District 3 director, community service chair, secretary, treasurer, chair-elect, chair, and immediate past chair. He has served on multiple OBA committees and boards, such as the Access to Justice committee, and assisted with the organization of various community service projects including the reinstitution of the Wills for Heroes program, which provides pro bono estate planning for veterans and first responders.
