Help with divorce

This was a long arduous affair. Ms. Brieske helped guide me through the rough as well as not so rough spots. She was always professional and extremely supportive. I hope to never need her services again, but would refer anyone to her that find themselves in this unfortunate situation.

Knowledgable and Compassionate

Terri was my attorney during divorce proceedings as well as post divorce issues. Terri was fantastic in making my two young children very comfortable and protected during contentious proceedings and post decree issues. She is highly knowledgeable in all facets of the law as well as meticulous with t...he fine details.

Extremely knowledgeable, hardworking and diligent

I was particularly in a contentious divorce and Terri Brieske was always there for me with excellent fund of knowledge and and the highest level of competency and ethics in a field not always known for such. As a man, it is difficult to get a fair shake in domestic legal maters as the court system s...eems to disfavor men and men's rights. Terri Brieske was always a zealous and loyal advocate for myself and my children.

Terri Brieske - Great attorney with a heart!

Terri was my divorce attorney when I went through my divorce years ago. It was a lengthy divorce that was extremely difficult and emotional. Terri was able to help me navigate through the process, while maintaining her professionalism. She made sure that my interests were protected, and that we ha...ndled the divorce with common sense (and not emotions!). She cared about my children's well-being and that they were protected in the process. She responds in a timely manner, and is always accessible whenever I needed her. Terri is a wonderful attorney, and a great human being!

Post Divorce Issues

Terri successfully procured several years of back child support, along with attorneys fees, for me. She is terrific at handling the details and is very professional. She also has a lovely sense of humor and an ability to lighten an otherwise stressful situation. I highly recommend Terri if you... are going through any family related legal issues.

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.
