Teresa Skretta Richards

Teresa represented me during my divorce and child custody case. Teresa did a very good job of walking me through the process and providing me with options. Teresa took the time to get to know me and my family to provide a very personalized approach to my particular case. I appreciate everything she did for me and my family in order to have my kids live with me, especially knowing how difficult it can be in family court cases as a father.

I am so grateful and feel so lucky that Teresa was my lawyer for a difficult custody case that lasted over a year. She's practical and up-front about expectations, but also incredibly empathetic. Working with her felt like we were preparing as a team. For each hearing she would give me clear direction about what I needed to do to prepare and really listened to my input. In court she was poised and level-headed, but relentless with her questioning. She's logical and not easily distracted, so if she knows something is true, she'll find a way to bring it to light through her questions. I'm so glad I had Teresa by my side and on my team. If you need an honest, kind, hard-working attorney, she's it.

Teresa Richards helped with my husband adopting my son. Teresa is an attorney that you want one your side. She is a very compassionate person and listens and understands your needs. I was very satisfied and would highly recommend her to others. Teresa would always quickly respond to my emails or phone calls. She would go above and beyond to make sure I was informed about everything going on with the adoption. She was extremely knowledgeable of adoption law and very confident in her abilities. She was very professional and most importantly, trustworthy. I would highly recommend Teresa Richards to anyone who needs legal services.

Teresa knew exactly what needed to be done with our case, and we trusted her throughout the two years we worked with her. She was VERY helpful, and knowledgeable about everything when it came to our case, and put as ease knowing she was doing everything in her power to help us. I could not recommend Teresa more, 100% will give her name out to anyone in need of a lawyer!

I hired Teresa to represent me in my divorce. When looking for someone to defend me, I talked to several attorneys. Each one said I would have to split the total value of the equity of my home with my ex-wife. Not Teresa. She explained that, since I owned the house before getting married, I should only have to split the value of the principal we paid down during our marriage. She helped ensure this outcome, which saved me a tremendous amount of money. Dealing with my ex-wife's attorney was often very frustrating, to say the least. There were times that I felt my character and integrity were questioned, and that her attempts to get my ex-wife the largest settlement possible often turned personal I felt. Teresa, on the other hand, stayed on point and was very professional throughout the entire process. This made a difficult time in my life a little easier. She even caught a $35,000 math error made by the opposing attorney in her client's favor. Once everything was finished, I ended up owing a fraction of what I expected to pay. If you are looking for someone who doesn't play games, is honest and straightforward, and is more concerned with getting you a fair deal rather than just a quick divorce, Teresa is someone you should talk to.

Too often, reviews glow to the point you wonder if they are an actual reflection of the work the person produces. Please do not turn a jaded eye to the excellent reviews you will find for Ms. Richards, for they speak the truth. In my life, I've had the opportunity to work professionally with many attorneys. Some good and some not so good. When I needed an attorney for my divorce, I was referred to Ms. Richards and was told she was an excellent attorney. They were right. The first time you sit down with Ms. Richards, you see immediately that she listens and actually hears you, which is a skill that is lacking for so many people today. She has a capacity to take intimidating legal challenges and boil them down to manageable tasks that give you a good grasp of what to expect. She maintains a level of professionalism and organization that speaks to my own heart. There is the Ms. Richards that is in her office during the consultation, where you feel comfortable and can explain your issues while she helps you sort to the real problem. Then there is the Ms. Richards that appears before the judge. She is everything you would expect from a good attorney in court. She epitomizes good judgment and use of words all the while always coming across as the most professional person in the room. She oozes credibility and as such, so do you as her client. Her compassion and humor make her good at what she does on a personal level. Her organization and professional level make her a top notch attorney. I have and would recommend her to anyone seeking help with family, child custody, divorce and separation. She makes an already difficult process bearable.

Teresa handled many child support and custody issues for me. She is a strong, professional and caring advocate for her clients. I highly recommend her.

Teresa Skretta Richards is the best lawyer experience I have had in my 34 years of life! She is very good with communicating with her clients, she will not sugar coat anything, she is honest, and she will absolutely give her all as long as you give your all! I can sit here and go on and on and on about her, but to sum it up, she knows her work, she does her job above and beyond! TERESA IS THE BEST!! I absolutely love her!!
