3.7 average is way too high - a useless lawyer

I've seen my fair share of useless lawyers over the years, who do little to no work and add zero value. But never have I seen such utter incompetence whereby the lawyer tells you "court is Feb 12" and then texts you January 4 asking "where are you, court starts in an hour"? If you can't handle sim...ple administrative tasks AND cannot do simple law, you should not be a lawyer. You should also face the consequences of this.

Not ideal custody lawyer

I retained Ms. Brown for my custody case in Cherokee County. At first all seemed well, she presented herself as well educated in the law and eager to help me win my case. Unfortunately, that lasted about midway into my first hearing. She pleaded with me to "trust her like a maternal figure"and shorte...n my court ordered time because it would be a temporary change. Reluctantly, I agreed and the Judge ordered us to go to mediation and come back within 6 months. Well 10 months later, there's been no mediation scheduled, multiple unanswered calls/emails, blatant contempt actions from the Defendant and nothing has changed. I attempted to schedule numerous meetings with Ms. Brown and was told " I should just give up and do what my child's mother says". She then filed a motion to be dismissed from the case and told me to not contact her. Ms. Brown was misleading, unprofessional and displayed an enormous amount of indecorous behavior. I DO NOT recommend her at all to anyone fighting for rights to be involved in their child's life.

Unfortunately, some clients do not always accurately describe the issues in their case either to the attorney or when writing reviews. And occasionally clients are not happy with judge's orders or the attorney's counsel. I am disappointed that this client feels this way, but as in all custody cases, there is WAY more to the story than meets the eye.

Very professional and a top notch, fierce attorney

I have had her for over a year now in a very agonizing paternity case. Not only has Teri been very caring but she has worked her butt off in my case. She is great!!!! Only real son case is dragging is due to the judicial officer and her lack of knowledge and common sense. Teri is a fighter and does n...ot back down!

A Truly Wonderful Attorney

Teri handled my divorce in 2014, I was very pleased with the personable attention and care she showed to me in such a difficult time in my life.
