Terry Fawell

I used her for a child custody case. To start off with, she gave me To incorrect information which was relevant to the case. Things started to get complicated and she handled the case poorly. Was totally unprepared for court. She will not fight for you and does pretty much what the oppoosing attorney... dictates. In my opinion she does not even deserve one star.

I was told that a petition to obtain child support was a "simple thing". However, what Terry failed to do was to read the paperwork for the Marital Settlement that stated that I was to pay unallocated support to my employed ex-wife, even though I had custody of our children. This was never addressed... correctly when my children came to live with me from a prior attorney. This turned into a complex legal battle with mom trying to get custody of our two teenagers, 17 and 15. This has been a nightmare ever since and is totally destroying my relationships and the peace in my family. All I was looking for was a little support from the children's mother during a difficult financial time, who has never paid a dime, who dumped our kids on me without explanation, and has always undermined my parenting efforts.

Terry Fawell was my attorney in 2007 and 2008. She took my case because she thought it would be a simple matter when it got complicated she was unable to handle the complextity. She was evasive when I had questions, and they only thing that she could send me in a timely manner was a bill. She is near...ing retirement and her attitude and willingness to fight for your case will reflect that. If you want a lawyer that will fight for you I would choose someone else. If you want someone who is complacent and just sits back and collects your money while offering no solutions and no timely help then Terry Fawell is the lawyer for you.
