The BEST!

I highly recommend Ms. Taylor and her team! The divorce process is the hardest thing I've ever been through, but she was there for me every step of the way! She was so knowledgeable and honest and stern with me when I needed it. I am so happy with the outcome and would give her 10 stars if I could! ...

The Best!!!

Terisa was great at walking walking me through a very sticky legal matter involving my children. Terisa gave sound advice, was tough when she needed to be, and demonstrated the highest ethical sense. Terisa and her staff treated me like family through a very traumatic time. Above all, I consider T...erisa a great friend.

Terisa WINS Custody for the DAD

Terisa was hired by my son to get an order in place for our grandchild. My son wanted better living conditions for the child and have the right to give child their immunization shots the mother refused to give. Unfortunately, Texas makes it very difficult for the father to gain custody of a child. M...others are given multiple chances before court will allow custody to father. Terisa was relentless in the courtroom and demanded several drug test and continued to take mother back to court. With great success Terisa was able to win custody for our grandchild to her father! I will ALWAYS praise Terisa for her love and care to each of our family members!

Terisa is our HERO

Terisa started on my case in 2011 and won the custody case and all the other battles I had in front of her. She won this for my daughter in 2016! Being a dad is not easy, then to have a the wrong mother who could not stop partying and doing drugs and for a dad to win custody in the state of TEXAS ... is not an easy task! Terisa is the person for the job - she kept me informed and all my options on the table. She is a "bull dog" in the court room. She took names and make it happen for my little girl! Her team/staff is awesome! I would HIGHLY recommend Terisa to represent on what is right for your child! She will make it happen!
