Simply Phenominal From Start To Finish!

Words cannot describe how grateful I am for Attorney Terrence Quinn and TGQ Law for taking on my very difficult case. After being appointed for only 3 days, I had lost guardianship and conservatorship of my father. That fast, my case had gotten turned upside down. I was crushed. It was the most mes...siest and twisted up situation I've ever experienced, on top of having the most toughest and intimidating guardianship judge in my town. It was all because of a misunderstanding and the courts not hearing my side of the story. First thing I thought was "Only God can fix this one"! Thank God he led me to the right place. Attorney Terrence Quinn listens, he's extremely professional, he's a supportive attorney that truly cares, understands his clients, very insightful and is an expert in his field. He took on an extremely difficult case and encountered issues that no one expected and few had ever seen. He worked tirelessly to make sure that the truth was told and presented it perfectly. My opinions were valued and my doubts were always reassured. My nerves were calmed and the process was always explained. Attorney Quinn fought hard for me. He went above and beyond and did everything he could to ensure a great outcome. After our first court hearing, I was regranted full guardianship and conservatorship, thanks to him! I very much appreciate and thank attorney Terrence Quinn and attorney Laurie Brewis for all of your hard work and time you spent handling my two separate cases that were happening at the same time. My mom AND dad's. I am proud to be a TGQ Law client and highly recommend them. From my experience, just know you will be in the best hands. TGQ Law will NEVER be my first choice. They will always be my only choice.

Just Spoke to Terrence

Terrence is a patient and knowledgeable man. When the time comes, I'll be sure to use his firm to help me sort out the estate and button up the loose ends. Thanks Terrence, it was a pleasure to talk to you today.

Respectful listening -careful handling of awkward issues

Terrence was very thoughtful and respectful in handling my husband's discomfort with talking about wills as they connect to the inevitability of death. Also my concern that in spite of a long and happy marriage I wanted my son to manage the financial resources that would be left in my estate and Ter...rance handled that aspect of my trust efficiently and discretely. I also found him to be pleasant, easy going and efficient. He was willing to adjust to meet our schedule and location needs. We were very pleased.
