A+++++++++++++++++++

Dealing with a very scary legal situation. Terrence gave me outstanding personal service and I cannot recommend him enough. Family law, criminal, no matter the issue, just reach out to him and he'll make sure you're WELL taken care of!

THE BEST Family Law Custody Case Attorney

When Life Happens...There is a Court System that you don't understand and a Judge who is a complete stranger to your situation that gets to decide the fate of the rest of your life. Our case was complicated and it went against the grain of what a Texas Family Law Court traditionally will allow. ... Over a period of about 6 long months we met with various "The Best" Family Law attorneys....Most wouldn't even take our case - said there's no way we would win. Others said they could WIN OUR CASE without even hearing one word about it. Then there were a few that said they could get close to what we were asking but not all and it would cost us close to $20,000 or maybe even more. Custody Case Expert, Attorney Terrence Ridgely, answered our initial call 10 pm at night - while he was out with family. He didn't put us off to the next day during business hours - no he started working on our case right then and there. He didn't just tell us he would win our case - he told us HOW he would. He prepared us for the battle we were about to take on. And took every frantic call, email, and text. And guess what y'all. He more than won the case. And at such a fraction of the cost I am embarrassed after the fact I didn't come up with more. He deserved it. We owe everything to him. We have our Baby Girl. PS He won through knowing the law and passionately caring about the best interest of this little baby girl. No trickery. No Slick Under handed tactics - although he battled them front he opposing side for months

Best Attorney EVER

He handled my custody case and the way he handled it was phenomenal! He was able to put my worries away during it. He handled it so well there isn't a word for how amazing he was on it. His words were real and advice was genuine. He is the best lawyer in the World!! I know I can always trust in him! ...

Saved my life!

Mr. Ridgely is a phenomenal lawyer. I found myself in a horrific situation (I was accused of sexually molesting my stepdaughter) and it made me feel incredibly vulnerable because I am not a lawyer so I didn't understand what was happening (which is where we all find ourselves in these situations). I ...was told I had to go in to be interviewed by a detective which I did. I didn't know what I was suppose to do or not do. Luckily, I was referred to Mr. Ridgely from someone I trusted (unfortunately, many of us are not privy to these types of referrals). He immediately put me at ease by explaining everything and made me feel comfortable with the situation but more importantly comfortable with him and his ability. He has an extreme amount of experience and people in key positions at key departments know him and his work. They know he is a very good and honest lawyer. I was looking at some serious charges and within 2 weeks, Mr. Ridgely started working on the case and the matter went away before any charges were filed. I couldn't believe it, he basically saved my life! Writing a review does not do Mr. Ridgely justice to let others out there know what a great and effective attorney he is. I wish I could actually speak to anyone looking for an attorney to let them know that he is the one they are looking for. Not only an amazing attorney but an amazing guy that truly wants to help people. That is hard to find these days and you can trust this review because I am one of the most cynical people I know!
