Erin Brosious

Attorney / Owner of Kallins, Little and Brosious

The journey to owning her own law firm has been quite the story for Sarasota native Erin Brosious. Quickly after starting her firm in 2020, she partnered up with her husband Melton Little, and Scott Kallins to officially open their current firm in Palmetto:Kallins, Little, and Brosious(Hardball Law). 

After graduating from Riverview High School in 1997, Erin went on to obtain a bachelor’s degree in English and a master’s degree in Secondary English Education from the University of Florida. Shortly upon graduation, she returned home and began a career as a high school English teacher. In order to advance her skill set, she obtained a Master of Education in Leadership at University of South Florida by attending evening classes at the Sarasota-Manatee campus. 

“I love Sarasota, it’s my hometown. My family lives here, we have amazing beaches and a wonderful community. I thought it would be a great place to come back and settle down,” said Erin. 

To expand her professional and community impact, Erin went on to earn a Juris Doctorate at Barry University School of Law, where she received theAdvanced Legal Writing Book Awardand served as Secretary of the Delta Theta PhiLaw fraternity. Her passion for public service has been demonstrated through her devotion to adolescent literacy and her work as an assistant public defender in Manatee and Sarasota counties. 

As a public defender, Erin helped thousands of clients who could not afford representation, many of whom suffered from mental illness, homelessness, PTSD, and substance abuse issues. The public defender’s office allowed her to develop critical litigation skills and gain immediate courtroom experience that has shaped her into the attorney she is today.

Getting Kallins, Little & Brosious off the ground was not an easy task. Several obstacles covered her path such as the COVID-19 pandemic and its huge effect on court cases, completely renovating their existing building to be better outfitted for technology needed today for legal work, and taking the reins of all aspects of marketing the business. They were able to officially have their grand opening party in October 2021, with the Mayor of Palmetto in attendance to cut the ribbon. 

As if taking on the project of launching a prominent law firm wasn’t enough, Erin and her husband also launched thePalmetto Com Center, their own business located in conjunction with their law offices. They offer virtual and tangible office rentals during a new era of remote workers. 

“I saw the need for people that were searching for an affordable dedicated office space where they can get out of the house, meet clients in a professional center, enjoy amenities such as multiple conference centers, a full waiting room, beverage center, and a bi-lingual receptionist. My husband owns the building, and we had all this extra space, so it was a no-brainer,” explained Erin.  

Erin’s career as an attorney has taken off quickly, as she was able to settle her first million-dollar case this year, which is rather quick compared to the career path of most lawyers. Her goal as an attorney is to deliver highly personalized service and top-notch legal representation to her clients, while constantly expanding her skills and experience. She currently practices in personal injury and wrongful death cases, marital and family law, as well as criminal law. 

“It’s been a really fun endeavor,” said Erin. “I love being an entrepreneur and taking on new exciting projects. As someone that has been in government work my entire life, having the flexibility to set my own schedule, I just love it, and love working with my husband.”
