Efficient, Professional, and Trustworthy

Terrance is amazing! Seriously, if you’re looking for a bankruptcy attorney who actually cares, moves fast, and gets results, this is your guy. From the moment we started the process, he was on top of every detail. No delays, no confusion, just straight-up professionalism and consistency. He made eve...rything so easy to understand and handled it all like a pro. I’ve worked with other attorneys in the past, and no one compares. Terrance is the best out there — I’m so grateful I found him!

Avvo Rating

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.
