Terry Eaton has my highest recommendation without reservation.

Another attorney I used in the past recommend Terry Eaton for a sensitive civil lawsuit/dispute. Terry has eloquent communication skills, and he absolutely understood the details of my case. He has a crisp way of thinking. After I hired Terry the communication level exceeded my expectations. We spoke on a regular basis, and he constantly updated me on my case. Over time, and after many conversations, we built a solid foundation for an excellent rapport. Terry advocated for me during this time. When we went to court, his experience showed well. He carried himself with dignity and confidence. He was extremely professional and was able to assist me during this difficult time. We obliterated the opposition, and truth was the victor. Terry has my highest recommendation without reservation.
