Professional and Knowledgeable

Mr. Teague assisted me in successfully obtaining a Protection Order. He helped me navigate the court process, and added a sense of calm during a stressful situation. I highly recommend Mr. Teague. Thank you,

Very professional and knowledgeable

I am a property manager and Airbnb host for over 10 units in Hampton Roads and had issues with evicting tenants and home owners association disputes. Stephen handled my disputes promptly and professionally. He kept me informed throughout the process and always provided me with best/worst case scenari...os. I am extremely satisfied with Stephen and will definitely use his services when the need arises again.

Stephen Cordell Teague

Stephen Cordell Teague is an excellent lawyer. He represented me in a court matter. He is a very articulate lawyer any client could have asked for. He did not leave anything to chance, he prepared me very well for court. He was very thorough. I will highly recommend him to anyone.

Amazing support and source of knowledge

I found myself in one of the most difficult situations of my life but with Mr. Teague's support there was light on the other side. He helped me through a domestic violence situation. Although a trial was avoided, the support and knowledge he provided was MORE than I imagined. He was available for mul...tiple calls, emails and genuinely cared about my case as well as my son. Mr. Teague in addition gave me legal insight into a custody issue and helped me represent myself in another case. There are not enough words to express my gratitude for his professionalism, being an excellent source of knowledge and a great spirit. If you are in search of a lawyer Mr. Teague will not disappoint!

Relationship: Co-worker

"Stephen's family is on the east coast. Mine is on the west coast. Fate brought us together in Mississippi of all places, as we both moved down to Biloxi in the aftermath of the BP Oil Disaster to work at the Mississippi Center for Justice and help spill victims get interim relief from BP. Over two years, I witnessed Stephen guide clients through a tedious and frustrating claims process and successfully winning significant amounts of money for them. He's a hard worker, a strong advocate, and a man of virtue. I'm glad to count him as a friend."
