A helpful voice

I was very appreciative of the amount of time that Mr. Teston was willing to dedicate to hearing the details of my court case and the potential need of a TPO. He was able to directly answer my questions and help to aid me in my decisions. He was one of the most professional, personal and knowledgeabl...e attorneys that I have met over the years. I was glad to have been able to utilize his extensive knowledge to come to an educated decision. I don’t know how he is with other particular subjects, he was very educated to the specifics of my particular situation. And it was greatly appreciated.

Reliable, Confident, Driven

In the past three years of Mr. Teston representing me, I have never had a doubt that he was the right choice. He is a lawyer who can navigate complicated issues with confidence, always made certain that he was available for any questions or concerns, and worked tirelessly to advocate on my behalf.

Very Knowledgeable and Professional

I was referred to Mr. Teston by another lawyer and he was a lot of help guiding me through a problem he gave me all the information that I needed and I was able to file my own documents and that saved me a lot of money. Thanks again !

Very Helpful and Professional

I spoke with Mr. Teston regarding a possible legal matter. He helped guide me in the correct direction and gave me information that no other legal professional had. I will definitely use him again in the future!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
