Theresa Gerlach is wonderful!

I found Theresa by a google search for local divorce attorneys to me. I read all about and I did research others too, but I decided to have a consult with Theresa. Well my consult turned into me hiring her!! She’s amazing! She is straight to the point, very direct, doesn’t like to waste time, or ...even my money!! Bonus for me!! Anytime I had questions, I would email her admin and she usually answered my questions at N/C, and if she felt Theresa needed to handle it then she sent it to her. She always had my best interests first and foremost. I really appreciated her no nonsense way of doing business!! She really knows the Law and is exceptional at what she does. In addition she has written up a will for myself and updated my mother’s will. I absolutely recommend to anyone who needs an attorney!!!!!

Experienced, honest, compassionate attorney

Theresa is clearly a very experienced attorney and knows exactly what to do in a divorce case. The reason why I initially picked her out of alternative attorneys is that she showed care in the human emotions associated with going through a divorce. With her, I felt like I was not just a case, but a p...erson with a life to live. She is compassionate, professional, upfront, and very knowledgeable. She has made the process very easy and clear to understand. My divorce was met with extreme opposition from the opposite party and went to trial. She got me to win on all counts! Thanks to Theresa, I have peace even though I just went through a divorce!

Truly Professional with compassion for her client while maintaining all legal ethics

While working with Theresa Gerlach as my divorce lawyer I was always comfortable knowing that she was always working for me. Never during my case did I ever feel that I was second to anything. I was always kept informed of all issues very promply. Because of her great knowledge of family law we were ...able to respond to the opposition quickly and intelligently. So many times during the course of my divorce I felt that no matter who the opposition was. No matter how great they may have thought they were. No matter what the circumstances, I always felt that I had the best representation for me. You can always trust that Theresa to be working very hard for you and your best interests.
