Teresa Ann Mcadams is the best lawyer

I highly recommend Teresa Mcadams as she made me feel secure and supported during my case.

VERY DISAPPOINTING DO NOT RECOMMEND

I had time to personally interact with this law firm and it was extremely disorganized. Each time we would call to ask a question we were told they were working on a very important trial and would call back. They do not care about ALL their clients, but only the ones that bring in the most money. ...After almost 2 years trying to get her to push back with the opposing council regarding child support she just dropped the case. Extremely unprofessional Please beware!

DO NOT USE THIS LAWYER

PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO CLICK ON THIS LAW FIRM’S LOWEST REVIEWS. HER FIRM HAS MAJOR ISSUES IN FAMILY LAW AND DIVORCE GOING BACK YEARS. I am a single mom who used this law firm in hopes to receive child support from my ex in court. I spoke with Theresa on the phone with many promises of how easy and q...uick of a case it would be to file and complete. This was far from the truth. Her team was extremely disorganized and never remembered who I was or which court case I was talking about. They even sent me another man’s affidavit by mistake with all of his personal information including his social security number. Theresa unexpectedly DROPPED me during the middle of my court case with no explanation or communication as to why. She was never willing to answer any of my questions and rarely responded to emails. I have yet to receive any child support to this day and it has been almost 2 years. Please be aware!!!! She is also MARRIED to one of the judges and thinks she has a one up on everyone else in her job field. Terrible attitude and makes you feel like you don’t matter once you sign her agreement form. Worst divorce attorney I’ve ever had to encounter. She’s only in it for the money.

Divorce made simple

If you are looking for someone to make your like easy , and to simplify the process, than this is your girl! As a 46 year old woman, with very little ability to research due to having 2 jobs and three kids, Terri made it so easy for me! I was dreading the divorce process more than the actual divorce.... And I was ready for the divorce! She made this process simple. Comfortable. And fast. She has a way of making you feel ultra comfortable with everything that is going on when you are sometimes at your worst. I cannot tell you what a relief it was for me knowing I was in good, strong, capable hands. I highly recommend this practice, as her paralegal is also quite accomplished. A big thank you to to whole practice.

She handled some of the most difficult felony cases- and always exceeded expectations with outstanding performance. She has repeatedly proved herself as a top-notch attorney over the last 2 decades.

Sergio Galindo

Criminal defense lawyer | Jul 25

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse this Attorney for Criminal Defense and Family Law. We have co-chaired a number of jury trials together and she is an impressive trial Attorney. She always seems to be 2 steps ahead of the other attorney. She knows the law and is a natural at applying the facts of a case during the course of an argument to show why her client should win. She is an aggressive attorney who fights for her clients. She takes the time to meet with her clients, is compassionate and truly cares about the outcome of your case. I have seen that she and her staff are very responsive and treat their clients as people and not just another file. I have referred people, including relatives, to her because I know she will explore all possible options to make sure that you get the best possible outcome for your case. If I ever needed an Attorney, I would want Terri working for me."

"I've known Terri for over 10 years now and I've worked with and against her on both family and criminal cases. I have a tremendous amount of respect for her legal skills and common sense approach to legal problems that a lot of lawyers do not have! Terri really understands what it means to be a professional, and she always protects her client's interests. She is a creative and hard working attorney, and she's certainly not one to shy away from a trial or other contested hearing."
