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.

Knowledgeable client focused

In Oct. 2017, Terry CULVER was able to settle an ongoing work related issue that began in 2015. She is very knowledgeable, and immediately able to see that I was wronged and she knew that I had a strong case after I was told otherwise by other attorneys. I was also told otherwise, from my employer a...fter formally complaining to them. Terry was able to negotiate a win / win settlement, which was client focused, for me where I kept my position and the employer was put on notice. I would absolutely utilize the services of Terry L. CULVER in the future, for as many, opportunities that may arise in the future.

New Home Purchase

I was referred to Terrie by a family member for the purchase of a new home. She is very professional and knowledgeable. She reviewed the purchase contract very thoroughly and provided valuable insight as to the changes needed for my protection. I couldn't have found a better attorney if I tried. I hi...ghly encourage anyone looking for an attorney to hire Terrie!

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.

  • 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.
