WONDERFUL ATTORNEY

I received a DUI and retained Kenneth Teal's services. He was absolutely the most communicative lawyer I have ever encountered. If he was not available when I called, he always returned my calls in a timely manner. Him or his office kept me informed throughout the case and answered any and all questi...ons that I had. Mr. Teal is a honest and hard working attorney. I would definitely recommend him to EVERYONE!!!

Best criminal defense attorney

I was very pleased with Mr. Teal in handling my criminal case. He was very professional and kept me well informed through out the entire case. I was very impressed how he returned every phone call and answered all my questions in a timely manner. He is a very compassionate, caring yet very aggressive... attorney.The outcome of the case was exactly how he predicted. I strongly recommend Mr. Teal for any legal matters.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
