This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Accessible, competant and kind

Completely new territory to us and we have asked a thousand questions that Mr Teel has answered until we understood. His staff are wonderful and find the answers if they don't have them. It would have been easy to make us feel bad about this situation- they've always been encouraging while giving us ...the hard facts we needed to proceed correctly. They have told us the truth when it could have cost them. I respect these excellent people and would recommend them highly to anyone in similar need.

Carl Jerome Teel, Jr

Because of financial difficulties resulting from my husband's long-term illness, we contacted our family lawyer who referred up to Mr. Jerome Teel. Mr. Teel is Certified as a Specialist in Consumer Bankruptcy by the American Board of Certification. At our first meeting, I found Mr. Teel to be kind ...and caring; he put me at eas right away. He is a savvy lawyer: asking about facts; explaining my rights; reviewing my documents. I hired him and he has done a good job of keeping me informed about the process as it rolls along. I am very pleased with him personally and professionally and highly recommend him for your legal needs.

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.
