Not At All
She is not reliable, miscommunicates & does not give people their money when case has been settled. I am not sure how I she took over my case, but I wouldn't recommend her for any injury case.

I found Teri on a live she was hosting for the relaxer use issues and I emailed her immediately requesting more information regarding her findings and she emailed me right away, once she received my information she was quick to respond and welcome me and went thru every step with me regarding my case...
