Worse Practice Ever

If you’re seeking representation this is not the Law Firm Terrance Kinnard staff is very rude & disrespectful. Mr. Cooper I believe to be his paralegal he called me being very disrespectful while defaming my character labeling me as things that I have never been before abruptly hanging up on me. I ha...ve not once to disrespect no one at this legal firm. For him to label me as something that he had already label their client is out unprofessional. There’s more that I won’t say.

Genius and Incredibly Talented

Smart really savvy and definitely works to protect his clients. You don’t see this kind of strategy and mindfulness in an attorney. Wow!!

Posted by anonymous | May 06, 2025 | Child Abuse

Genuinely no morals

How dare he say the kind of things he did about a LITERAL CHILD. Shame on you. How would your mother feel about the things you said, trying to discredit an actual abuse victim? I would say you should be embarrassed, but I doubt you even have the capacity to feel shame, or any empathy whatsoever to an...yone who isn't paying you.

Worst advice imaginable

Worst advice I've ever received from an attorney. It wasn't April 1st but the consultation felt like Fool's Day.
