Harrington, Brewster, Mahoney, & Smits

This law firm is outstanding. My husband and I just had our wills updated and we were so impressed with the care, professionalism, and current knowledge displayed by this law firm. We would especially like to recommend Emma Fletcher for estate planning. Thank you Terri Harrington for building such an... outstanding law firm.

Very Mixed Results

I hired Terri to be the "neutral" between my lawyer and my wife's lawyer as part of a collaborative divorce process. As an individual attorney, I would strongly recommend anyone hire her as I was extremely impressed with Terri as an attorney. As a collaborative process "neutral", I am sure there a...re stronger attorneys available. Terri was not effective in getting my attorney and my wife's attorney to work together to address some high priority short term issues. As a result of Terri's failure to do this (my sense was she did not want to be aggressive with her friends), my collaborative process completely derailed and I am now back in court and several thousand dollars lighter.

The right support, great knowledge, and someone who clearly cares about her clients

Divorce is not fun for anyone. It's particularly hard when people get unpleasant and can't cooperate with each other. This is why I love Terri's approach. She's very focused on an approach where conflict and nastiness are avoided in favor of collaboration and cooperation. I have felt like my needs we...re met as I have worked through this process - Terri has made herself available to me as I needed support or had questions. I've always walked away from our interactions with a clear understanding of what I needed to do to make sure I was taken care of while still maintaining that sense of collaboration. I'm grateful that I was referred to Terri and will continue to refer others to her.

Premarital Documents

Terri was recommend to me by a friend and she was very supported through the process of reviewing the premarital documents for my upcoming marriage. It was also in a short timeframe that we had to complete the documents. I am a retired women and she was able to explain the details and made me feel ...like I did come to the table with a stake in the relationship. Her staff is very friendly and helpful when you email or call into the office. I would recommend her for supportive and kind and very up front attorney.

Fair and caring opponent.

Terri represented my wife in a friendly divorce; I represented myself. Everything was amiable enough, though stress levels and emotions spiked in different ways at various times. Terri and her staff were patient, friendly, and professional throughout. During our joint mediation sessions Terri was hel...pful and patient, able to provide simple emotional as well as legal support. It was a pleasure — though that's probably not the right word, given the situation — working with her.
