Excellent Representation

Terrie was hired to handle my recent real estate transaction. Terrie was attentive to all details and certainly had my best interests in mind. As a result, it was minimum effort on my part and I was confident the end result would be a success. We closed on time and without any surprises thanks to ...her good work.

Awesome Attorney

Terrie helped us navigate the difficult process of the sort sale of our home. With multiple problems, roadblocks, lender push back and the like, Terrie dealt with every problem that came our way and resolved every issue resulting in a closed short sale. She is tenacious and won't give up! As she ...said to me "I hate to lose". Judging by all of the issues we had to overcome to get this done (they seemed insurmountable to me), I'm guessing she doesn't lose very often. We are so happy we found her. Highly recommended!

Sale of condo/purchase of new home

I found Terrie online after finding out my previous lawyer who helped me purchase my condo was no longer in real estate law. Not wanting to go with a lawyer my realtor/buyer suggested, I am glad I found Terrie. After I emailed her, she contacted me within a day to set up a time to chat on the phone. ...She was very knowlegable and took the time to explain the whole process of selling to me (it was my first time selling a property). Her constant communication with the buyer as well as myself made the whole process from start to finish very smooth. I knew she was on my side and was doing all she could to represent me so I received a fair and legal deal. The whole process was so smooth I have retained her for the purchase of my new home. I would definitely recommend Terrie to anyone buying or selling in the Chicagoland area. She knows her stuff!

foreclosure defense

When I called Terrie, my home was on the verge of being auctioned. A default judgment had been entered against the property, and the auction had been scheduled. I called Terrie as a last ditch effort to save my property. She immediately reviewed my voluminous court file and provided a thorough con...sultation with a recommended course of action. She identified several flaws in the bank's case and assured me that there were several grounds for vacating the judgment and staying the auction. And she was right. Terrie persuaded the court to vacate the default judgment, which reset the case to the beginning. This bought me the time I needed to sell the property and avoid foreclosure. For that I am truly thankful.

First class real estate attorney, highly recommended

Terrie stepped in and became my real estate attorney after another attorney didn't understand my situation. I could tell from my first conversation that she was very knowledgeable. When Terrie took over my case she was very prompt and professional. Within a matter of days she was able to help me in t...erminating a real estate sales contract. I was extremely happy and impressed with Terrie! I am so grateful for her assistance and legal guidance. She is truly first class and I highly recommend her!

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.
