Great Customer Service

Terrell Monks and his team were great! I hired Terrell to help me with a Trust. He explained and made the process very easy and simple. He was patient and answered all my questions. The process did not take long and my Trust was ready within a few weeks.

Great advocate, professional, honest

I highly recommend Terrell Monks. My sister and I hired Terrell to represent us in a probate matter which turned negative when the Executor of the estate became dishonest. Terrell communicated quickly with us and kept us informed over several months of negotiations with opposing counsel. He was a gre...at advocate for us and in the end, we reached a settlement where the Executor was held accountable and my family received payment for an agreement that the Executor would not have honored without Terrell's representation. Then to top it off, he did not even bill us for the final bill we owed to him. He is kind, knowledgeable, ethical, and we are very appreciative to him for representing us.

Terrell monks

Well theres so much to say pertaining to Mr Monks. He is a well educated attorney who takes his job seriously. He first of all is a man of God that stands on his words. And when you serve God he will send the right people to fight for you. I thank god for him . My sister and I were in a legal battl...e with my sisters husband after she passed away and Mr Monks was so great at showing him that he wasnt above the law and that he was wrong . You see my sisters husband stole money from my mothers estate, before and after she died, He had no shame and felt like he was right, but thank God for his saints and Angels. So if you want a attorney that is honest and trustworthy, please call Mr Monks!!!! Gods always good, and Mr monks is his worrior, and you cant beat God.

"I have known Terrell since my first year in law school 18 years ago. I have been opposing counsel against Terrell, have co-counseled cases with Terrell and have hired him to do my firm's collections work as well as my family's probate work. When my clients need help on these issues, I send them to Terrell. When it comes to business law, bankruptcy, collections, or probate, Terrell is my only choice and should be yours also."
