Best choice I ever made for my daughter and my family

I decided after my 1st attorney fail with child custody, I was going to investigate and find someone at the top if I ever had to do it again. Well, I did 5 years later when her dad came back into her life. I hired Teresa after a consultation that made me feel more like a family member to them then a ...paycheck. She and Matt genuinely cared about what I had to say and realized this wouldn't be an easy case. She understood that the father had a way of getting around everything, and she was ready for it. They gave me my options all the way through and explained thoroughly. Everyone in the office was always polite and willing to help me with questions when I emailed/called. Teresa made sure we were ready for court and had everything we needed. We were able to settle in mediation and she helped me make sure my daughter's safety was taken seriously and addressed. The terms that were agreed upon were everything I wanted. I couldn't have asked for a better outcome. To this day, I will hands down hire them in a second if I ever needed. They will always be the group that helped me keep my daughter in safe environments and that is irreplaceable. I will be forever grateful for Teresa and the Drexler group.

Teresa is AWESOME!!

I retained Teresa to represent me for my child support case. The case was initially filed based upon the claim that retroactive child support should be levied due to a voluntary change in custody, which I contended was not true. Teresa was very creative in planning her strategy and in her thinking of... how to highlight the jurisdictional issues that were in my favor. She listened carefully to my suggestions and worked with me to incorporate my needs into our filings with the court. I ALWAYS felt that Teresa was my strong advocate. She was honest about setting expectations for the outcome while maintaining a positive attitude. She paid great attention to detail and we went into the courtroom well prepared for the proceeding. I watched her representation of another client prior to selecting her as my attorney. Initially, I was confused by her questions and her presentation until I realized that she was very effectively weaving the fabric of her client's case without blatantly telling the judge what he should decide. I think that is a very effective method, at least for this particular judge. During my proceeding, she did an absolutely fantastic job. Her exceptional skill, demeanor and professionalism were unquestionably the reason that the judge decided in my favor on every issue that was presented. Her preparation and quick thinking during the hearing completely obliterated opposing counsel's arguments. The judgement in my case denied a huge retroactive child support payment to my former wife and ordered all the counseling and co-parenting that I had requested. I will be forever grateful to Teresa for doing such a wonderful job. Her efforts have essentially changed my life for the better. She is a magnificent attorney, but also a very nice and caring person, which is important when you are entrusting someone with such a huge aspect of your future. I would recommend Teresa wholeheartedly to anyone needing representation in a divorce or custody hearing. You simply will not find a better attorney!

Grandparent Right's

When I faced the difficult task of securing Grandparent Right's, Teresa Drexler and her firm did an outstanding job. At all times, she and the other members of the Drexler Law Group were responsive to my questions, were respectful, and displayed an in-depth legal knowledge. Most importantly, they ...conveyed integrity and established a trusting relationship. Teresa Drexler showed two qualities that are blended in today's professional world: emotional intelligence and common sense. All in all, Teresa Drexler and the Drexler Law Group helped make a difficult situation a lot easier.

She was great with my Divorce!

The divorce process can be very overwhelming and stressful. After being married 14 years, She was really knowledgeable,helpful and reassuring. . She answered all my questions and was very professional from the beginning to the end. She and parallegal Laura was on top of things. They kept me informe...d and updated throughout this mentally draining divorce. She made sure myself and my children best interest was kept in mind. Thank You for a job well done and if you need a Great lawyer, give Teresa a call!

She Was Amazing With My Divorce

Teresa Drexler represented me in my divorce. She helped me in more ways than I could ever write on this review. Teresa & her paralegal Laura made me always feel welcome no matter how many times I called. In my case she always looked out for the best interest of my 2 small children & of course me too.... At a very hard time for the kids & me she always had a way to make me smile. I would recommend her to anyone that was in need of family law. Both Teresa & Laura was a God sent to me. I will never be able to thank you enough.
