Compassionate and professional

Teresa and her associates were professional and kind. Teresa draws her knowledge from extensive relevant experience and enhances it as needed with a network of accomplished colleagues. She is purposeful and patient; and she is confident and knowledgeable in the courtroom. She is a long-game strategis...t - which paired with her knowledge of the law and process - is what ensures one to get through the complications of divorce or other family legal matters.

My continued appreciation cannot be overstated!!

I was recommended Drexler Law by a friend that highly recommended them after her divorce and how well Matt and Don represented her. Teresa helped me navigate tricky waters through my divorce proceedings after I fired my previous attorney that gave me poor and incorrect legal advice. It had left me in... a financial hole and vulnerable in a stressful divorce proceeding, and I hired Drexler Law to clean up the mess. Teresa took every bit of time to walk me through the process, lend a friendly ear when I needed to vent, listened and addressed every concern and question I had. The entire team was phenomenal to work with as everyone worked hard to catch up to a fast approaching mediation hearing. Every email and phone call received a prompt response. When we had to go to trial, Teresa and Brian made opposing counsel look inferior with their preparedness and professionalism. Teresa is calm, cool, collected and sharp as they come. She is so kind but make no mistake she won’t be walked over. Between both of them, they made such a phenomenal team for me in front of the judge. Brian Melton commanded the presence in the room with his assertiveness and confidence and wasn’t afraid to be a “shark” in court. He was direct, firm, and confronted issues head on. His in-depth financial research on the case resolved a number of complex issues we had regarding a business my ex-husband, and I owned. I have never been so proud to be represented by my attorneys! They were worth every penny. I cannot stress enough how much I recommend them. In the scheme of things my divorce would be a “small-scale” set of issues, but they treated me the same as if it were a million dollar case. They defended and protected me and my interests to the end. The fact that they made me feel important, heard and valued as a client was worth more to me than the financial investment I had made. I know that they did everything they could to represent me fairly and ensure that I wasn’t taken advantage of in an already difficult, painstaking, and emotionally taxing divorce process. They listened to my concerns and addressed every one of them with aggressiveness and accuracy that was unmatched by opposing counsel in court. Had I not hired them I have no doubt I would have lost everything in my divorce process. The entire Drexler Law Group is worth their weight in gold. Don’t make the same mistake I did and hire someone else first. They are the best, and I feel anyone would be hard pressed to find better representation than what I received.

Lawyers and Parachutes

If you're about to jump out of an airplane, you don't buy the cheapest parachute you can find. You don't pick one at random and hope it works. You're about to put your life in someone else's hands. Your family's life. My first lawyer I hired was cheap. He was worthless and it cost me tens of thou...sands of dollars that was ultimately wasted. My second lawyer I chose at random to get away from the first. She cared nothing about us or our family, and my children paid the price for over two years. Then, after many hours of research, we finally hired Teresa and Matt Drexler. The Drexler Law Firm helped us recover from what seemed to be a disastrous string of bad advice and callous indifference, and we finally started putting our family back together. Thank you, Teresa and Matt.

All around great experience

Teresa and her team was amazing, I was working overseas for majority of the matter and they were on top of everything and communicated with me about everything that was going on. They made the process super easy and it took a ton of stress off my shoulders. Highly recommend Drexler law firm. 110% wou...ld hire again. Thank you
