Yes, you should Hire Terri.

I would definitely recommend Terri. She handled my case with the utmost regard and professionalism. I honestly did not think I would get full custody of my child but Terri was able too. To say that I am pleased with my outcome is sincerely an understatement.

Posted by Joan | September 11, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Divorce/Child custody

I would highly recommend Terri Tinder to anyone in a heartbeat. She is so compassionate and professional. She went above and beyond for me during my ugly divorce and child custody case. Terri is very thorough and does not take your case with a grain of salt, she has a mission and works so hard on it.... I cannot thank this woman enough for her attentiveness. She went to battle for myself and my daughters and won me full custody of both of my girls and got a heinous man out of our lives. I know that she was on my side the whole way and she brought me great comfort during the hard times. She went above and beyond her duties as my lawyer. I am so happy she came into my life.

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.
