Horrible, worst attorney, waste of time and money

Won't fight for you. she destroyed my case moving it form will county to DuPage county because it was close to her office. I fired her after she ruined my case. my ex was arrested for battery case in will county and she sided with my ex-attorney. I am still suffering because of her decision. she like...s to take easy cases where she can make easy money without helping your case. she is okay for small useless cases but not for serious ones

Divorce and Support

I retained Terry for some modifications on my Divorce and parenting agreements. After having dealt with other attorneys who gave me little to no results, I was pleasantly surprised when meeting with Terry. She was respectful and compassionate all while providing the results that I hoped for. From my... 1st court date, I received the representation that my children and I deserved. My only regret is that I hadn't found her initially. Terry and Joanne, her assistant were very attentive to detail and always willing to discuss any issues at hand. I have/will recommended Fawell & Fawell to many people looking for representation in family court.

Great experience during a very difficult time

Terry was very direct and matter of fact, as well as compassionate and understanding. She explained what was happening in a calm, rational manner, so even when my ex and his lawyer were posturing in a threatening manner, she was able to de-escalate the situation. I also felt her fees were very reaso...nable. I was very pleased with her services!

Amazing Lady

Very caring person. Always prepared and organized in court. Profesional! When I went for consultation, she spent over an hour with me and did not want to charge me. I would recommend to believe and trust in her, she really has best interest for you. I Thank you Terry.

Excellent Representation

From our initial consultation through the final court Terry provided clear legal advice and made me feel very comfortable. Her court room experience and in depth knowledge of even the most recent law changes definitely was advantageous when we were working through the details of the divorce. One of ...the things I felt really sets Terry apart from other attorneys was her way of taking the time to explain even the most complex legal issues in a way that I could understand. I would recommend her in a heart beat.
