For more than 30 years, I have dedicated my practice to helping individuals and families navigate some of life’s most difficult transitions. As a family law attorney, I understand that legal issues involving divorce, custody, support, and property can be both financially and emotionally challenging. My approach is practical, thoughtful, and focused on achieving solutions that protect my clients’ interests while keeping sight of what matters most to them and their families.
I believe clients deserve an attorney who will listen, explain their options clearly, provide candid advice, and advocate for them when it matters. I bring extensive courtroom and negotiation experience to every case, along with a commitment to treating each client with respect and compassion.
My goal is not simply to resolve a legal problem, but to help my clients move forward with confidence and a clear path toward the next chapter of their lives.

Honest and Straightforward
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 ...
"Teresa is an excellent advocate for clients as well as a great attorney to work opposite with in family law cases."
"In the past Teresa and I have served as opposing counsel and currently I mediate and have provided services for Teresa's family law clients. Teresa is always prepared and her clients are well informed. Although she is a zealous advocate when the situation requires, she also will look for reasonable resolutions to family law matters thus preventing her client from incurring the emotional and financial costs of litigation when the situation allows."
"I often recommend Teresa to friends and family seeking a family law attorney. Teresa's legal skills and ethics are above reproach. I also appreciate the way she seems to have mastered the balance between being a "hard hitting" attorney when necessary, while also demonstrating appropriate sensitivity when working with families and children. I highly recommend Teresa if you are in need of a family law attorney."
"Teresa is an attorney with integrity, superior knowledge and experience. She is well respected in the legal community. I confidently refer family law cases to her."
"Teresa is a fabulous lawyer. She is smart and aggressive and brings heart and empathy to cases. She is practical and solution-oriented and she has a good rapport with clients, other lawyers and judges. Top notch."
