Civil trial

Ms. Hewlett is a very personable attorney. She made me feel so comfortable and she was always available. She won my case! The defendant appealed and she won that too! She know the law and will fight for you. I told her she's my attorney for life. I definitely recommend Ms. Hewlett.

Divorce & Order of Protection

Attorney Hewlett is a very skillful and thorough negotiator. She goes beyond the call of duty to get sufficient results. She and her team are knowledgeable, efficient and stays with a case until everything is resolved. She kept me informed of every aspect of my case, even with all the delays due to C...OVID-19. I enjoyed meeting The Hewlett Law Firm staff. Great Job!!!

Outstanding

I hired Terita Hewlett to defend me in my case and she was very confident in getting me results I would be happy with. She was prompt with information on my case. Her fee for taking on my case was reasonable. I would definitely hire her again on my behalf for any legal matters and would highly sugges...t Terita Hewlett to anyone looking for an outstanding attorney!

Very poor communication with clients

I signed up with Hewlett Law firm for an injury suffered in an automobile accident in July, 2016. Iadell numerous calls to get status updates on my case. None of my calls were returned. Four months later I received a release letter from Attorney Hewlett because the party at fault was not insured. Thi...s is understandable, but no one returning my calls for four months is unprofessional and unacceptable. If you want to be updated on your case, avoid signing up with Hewlett Law Firm because they will not return your call!

Excellent Attorney

My name is Bobby and I was charged with one count of Aggravated Robbery and three counts of Aggravated Assault on February 4th, 2014. I spent 14 months in jail and was appointed a public defender. My public Defender informed me that I could accept 8 years or go to trial and take a chance at being fo...und guilty and being sentenced to thirty years. I made a $75,000 dollar bond and while out on bond I was actually considering accepting the offer just to get this chapter behind me. Fortunately, I ran into a friend who informed me about Attorney Terita Hewlett Riley and told me that she helped him with his case and that she was very good at representing her clients. I informed my uncle about Attorney Riley and called for an appointment to see what would it take to have her represent me against these charges. Attorney Riley and her staff treated me as if I was a part of the legal team. She charge me an affordable price with payment plan to represent me. I was scheduled for trial for September 21st, 2015. Between the time I hired my attorney and the time prior to trial, my attorney office had a few brain storm sessions that prepared me for trial, they investigated my alibi witness, the police reports and kept me fully informed at all times. On September 21st, 2015, we picked a jury and the trial last 3 whole days. My attorney and staff in my opinion did an excellent job at defending me. During jury deliberation, I went and prayed. The jury returned with verdict of not guilty on all counts and I am a free man today with a new chance at life. Thank God, my Uncle, Attorney Hewlett Riley and her very good staff for a job well done. I give this attorney and staff a five star rating.
