Feedback review

Best attorney I’ve ever had! Highly recommended! Always has the best interest of her clients. Never had to question her about my case.

Not honest

Teresa does not follow through with what she says she will do. She lies about facts or twists them to push her own agenda. Teresa does not speak up when opposing parties present misinformation.

Great Divorce Attorney!

Divorce is a very tough emotional time and Teresa was great to keep me informed on the details and educating me on the entire process. I appreciated her genuine concern and caring, the process is complicated and confusing, I am certainly I had Teresa on my side. Craig

She's a joke

She failed to use facts and findings on my case causing me to lose my case and then charged me several thousand dollars more to fix what she should have done in the first place . Just money hungry doesn't care about her clients.

Teresa Pope is just AMAZING!!!

I had been told that the County Attorney wanted jail time and would NOT negotiate. Teresa was not the lawyer I hired, but my lawyer was busy the day of my court hearing. Teresa went to the courtroom offered a class instead of jail time and not only will the class help me gain employment and help me g...et a job, but I also got 2 years suspended sentence on low-risk probation. After 3 LONG months of not knowing my fate, I have only Teresa to thank, for me not to have to be away from my children. I would recommend hiring her with ANY case. She knows what she's doing and always answers her phone. Thanks again Teresa Pope.
