Terri did a great job representing me on my divorce

Terri did a great job handling my divorce. She quickly returned phone calls, e-mails, and messages. She provided good legal counsel during a difficult time for me and her rates were more than fair. Most importantly, she obtained the result I was looking for. I highly recommend Terri.

Very knowledgable

Terri was very knowledgeable when handling my military divorce, she made sure I received everything financially that I wanted and deserved, as well as possessions. She made everything as least stressful as possible and was very patient when dealing with my divorce. She was even able to set up a sett...lement conference to avoid going to court. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who wants someone who is knowledgeable and knows what she is dealing with, and that each case is different. I felt as though she personally cared about getting me, my fair share throughout the whole process. I am very satisfied with how my divorce process went, and I truly have Terri to thank for that.

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.
