Tenacious!

I unfortunately have had an adversarial relationship with my ex wife for the past 7 years. Most recently, she filed court paperwork charging me with harassment. Rather than try and fight the claim on my own, I sought out legal counsel and a family friend referred me to Teresita. Going to court, I'm ...glad Teresita was on my side! She had very clean, clear, and structured arguments, refuting claims from the other party (my ex). The harassment claim was dismissed. Thank you Teresita!

Absolutley Amazing

The first time I met Teresita I knew I had found an amazing lawyer. Teresita is very personable, honest, accomodating and really cares about what you are going through. She is thorough in her research and is very detailed. She is very up front about what your options are and does not make choices fo...r you. She very much makes me feel as though she works for me and is VERY honest about billing her time. I recommend her to EVERYONE I meet. She has a big heart and a great work ethic.

My Favorite Lawyer

I've had three lawyers in the past and none of them have come close to Teresita. The day I met her, I was very excited for her to represent me. She is very personable, caring, understandable, straight forward and much more. I could tell that she actually cared about my case. Unlike the previous three.... When she moved from her previous location, I knew without a doubt, that I would be going with her to her own firm so she could continue representing me. She has been wonderful! I would defiantly refer her to anyone in need. Thank you for everything Teresita!

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
