Anthony helped me through a difficult time; answered the phone when needed and kept me well informed on what was developing with my case. I am grateful for this man and his practice.
Tony (Anthony) is my councilor; lawyer; attorney. I do not use the word "councilor" lightly, I will go into further detail later. A little about my situation. I am currently going through a very nasty divorce with kids involved. To say the least, before I hired Tony, all odds were stacked against me, along with the court system that seems to favor the mother, plus I had a wrinkle in my past that was being used against me. With a prayer and some diligent researching, I found Tony and hired him. We have been working on my case for over 2 years. When I first hired Tony, I had zero visitation with my kids, fast forward a couple years and now I have a set weekly visitation schedule with overnights. We are currently working on finalizing my divorce with a realistic chance to get my children 50/50. During the past 2 years, I have personally gone through a lot of emotions, each time that I NEEDED to get ahold of Tony, he would make time to communicate with me. When I say councilor, he is my councilor. He listens to me, validates my feelings, then makes a professional recommendation. I could not ask any more from this man. I am so blessed to have him on my side. I would recommend Tony to anyone. For those whom feel the world is against them and all odds are stacked against them, give Tony a chance because this man will turn the tides into your favor. He is built with integrity, always honest and realistic.
Being charged with a crime can be scary. I'll help you navigate the criminal process by learning what your desired outcomes are and helping you achieve those, while making sure you know you've got an advocate by your side every step of the way.
Ending a marriage can be messy, especially when dealing with property, family, and emotion. I focus on keeping your interests at the forefront, not animosity. The end of a marriage is painful enough, the divorce doesn't have to be.
You have rights, don't let them get tread on. In my community, this often occurs at education institutions. I'll make sure they meet their burden and respect your rights.

I went in for a consultation(which was free!) and we talked for two hours about what had happened and what would happen in the future. Just this settled my mind quite a bit so a couple days later I hired him. He knew I was a very busy person so he took care of everything. He would call me to make sure I knew all the information so I could make a informed decision about how I wanted to move forward. Which saved me time and stress. Anthony is the best lawyer I have ever worked with and would definitely recommend to anyone looking!

Mr. Teesdale and R&S get my vote as the best law firm in Brookings, SD.
When I approached R&H for legal help, I wasn't sure what to expect. After the fact, I can only sing the praises of the staff and lawyers at this firm. I was assisted by Anthony Teesdale, and I had an excellent and informative experience. Although my case was a fairly standard occurrence in the courts system, I stood to lose a lot depending on the outcome of the case. With Mr. Teesdale's help, not only was I able to avert personal disaster, but also ended up having a brighter, more positive outlook on life moving forward in the wake of my crime.
I was incredibly anxious during the six months of the court proceedings. Mr. Teesdale and co. helped allay any fears I had and kept me up to date every step of the way about what was happening on his end and what I could expect. Sure enough, his predictions and assurances played out as we anticipated, and I am so grateful for the firm's ability to keep me grounded and clear-headed throughout the entire process.
I've only ever recommended Ribstein & Hogan to those I've met who were fretting about which law firm to hire, and I will continue to do so. Amidst a legal process I have a great number of political and philosophical issues with, Mr. Teesdale and the whole firm helped me not only emerge on top of things, but also retain faith in our country's legal system.
