DO NOT HIRE THERESA CHILDRESS

Do not hire this unprofessional and nasty woman. She took my money and I have not heard from her since. She was paid last year and here it is February 2026. She need to be reported to BBB.

Be aware of her charm and lack of follow-through.

Buyer beware tof Theresa and this firm! Biased, lazy, and dishonest. Find a reputable attorney.

Nasty bad attorney

Robbed me and quit! This is one of the worst lawyers I've ever encountered in my life. I would recommend that you never ever use this person to help you in any way as you're just going to be very very disappointed and you're going to lose something valuable from your life for trusting her!

Extremely Satisfied Client

I just want to say that I was extremely pleased with the services that Theresa and her staff showed during my custody modification case. Theresa and her staff were very thorough and professional throughout the entire process of my case and helped me to secure primary physical custody of my son in a b...itter custody dispute. Theresa and Chrystine exceeded all of my expectations in this case and I would definitely recommend you retain Theresa for your legal needs.

Dispute over home purchase

I would like to express my gratitude to Attorney Childress. I had an irate tenant that refused to pay. She protected me and property by proving that the tenant was negligent, untruthful, beliverant and irate. The matter was solved in my favor. Which gives me the great pleasure of thanking Ms Childres...s and her firm. They did a great job and provided excellent t service.
