This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Fast professional response

I came to Mr. High in need of a very fast turn around. Where other attorneys advise there was time to file are address the case He jumped right on it, got all the information needed and handled his business. He was confident, professional and very respectful, he knows his job and comfortable doi...ng it. There was no hesitation at all. I extremely blessed to have found him.

I'm so thankful to High Law Firm.....

Terence High has been nothing but patience, knowledgeable, and just awesome to me. About two years ago, when I was in serious need of a lawyer, I called Terance High. I explained to him that I did not have any money at the time but I was in need of attorney. Terrance allowed me to make monthly paymen...ts until my debt was paid in full. Thanks again Terance High, you are the best.

  • 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.
