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.

Top notch experienced lawyer

After talking to Clint Teston, we hired him right away. He was great at relating to both my son and I during this stressful situation and explaining how the system works and things would play out. He is knowledgeable and well connected in the Hall County court system. I want to thank Clint Teston ...for helping me and my family through one of the most difficult times we have experienced. Bottom line we totally recommend Clint to anyone needing a top-notch criminal defense attorney with a heart.

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.
