I highly recomend Teri D McCall

I had first hired Teri for a child custody case and she was the best I've dealt with. She is an excellent intelligent attorney as well as a great person with ethics and integrity. Most recently I hired her for a difficult paternity case also involving adoption she will work hard for you to the end. S...he's great at keeping you upated returning calls emails and won't let you down in court. Teri is honest upfront and wont just take your money if she knows she cant help you. She is worth every dollar if not more. You will not regret hiring this attorney she is an amazing lady.

Teri kept me sane

Teri handled my extremely complicated high conflict case over the course of 9 years and did an impeccable job. 9 years, 6 different judges and 1 lawyer. She was great in helping me to see different sides of the various issues that I had and how to navigate my way through parenting coordinators, ju...dges, custody evaluations and the like.

Amazing Attorney with class, brilliance and heart!

Teri is an astounding attorney. Number one, she has incredible heart and the ability to quickly think outside the box under pressure. Truth is, Teri was once an opposing attorney AGAINST someone in my family. Rather than dislike her, I gained the utmost respect for her abilities. She is powerful, co...nfident and with good reason! We have hired her several times in difficult situations because she is the best, some of the cases have been complex and were expertly handled with compassion and skill. Fees are fair, remember - you get what you pay for. Teri has earned the relationship with us that we treasure and will continue to get every referral of our family and firends. Teri McCall is a gifted and knowledgeable attorney with the respect of other attornies (if not before the case, certainly after)

excellent attorney

I was involved in a high dispute divorce and Ms. McCall proved to be an asset in my case. Ms. McCall was very understanding, responsive, knowledgeable about my case and trial history, and kept me informed during the entire process. In fact, she seemed to have the ability to foresee what the other s...ide was attempting to do before it occured. The stress of this process was quite overwhelming to me and Ms. McCall had the clever ability of keeping me focused. Ms. McCall was first able to help me save time with my son, which was the single most important thing in my life, and then save my assets. I sincerely owe my life to her for this and would recommend her serivces to everyone.

There is nobody better or more dedicated!

I was referred to Teri from a friend who had previously hired her and worked with her for his divorce and child custody battle. He told me that with his 18 years in law enforcement, and having testified in court on hundreds of cases, that he had NEVER seen a more competent and prepared attorney. ... Upon meeting Teri, I knew immediately that I made the right choice. I have over 19 years of experience in law enforcement and have testified hundreds of times in court. Having dealt with hundreds of attorneys both for me and against me during trials, Teri is without a doubt, in the top 1% of attorneys that I have ever been around. She is extremely competent, thorough and her court room demeanor is SECOND TO NONE. I have never witnessed an attorney have such command of a court room during trial. Her cross examination of witnesses and my ex-spouse was superb! Additionally, she tells you upfront of what to expect from both court room and divorce procedures along with finances. I was impressed several times, when I wanted to pursue different items that I was confident that not only was I "right" and that I would be successful and win. Teri would ask me to take the emotion out and look at it in a "business mindset" IE: Is it worth spending an additional 4,000 dollars to win 4,000 dollars or have the judge only decide on awarding 3,000 doilars. Plus the emotional and time of dragging things along. In this day and age, it was amazing to see an attorney turn down guaranteed money to her, regardless of how the judge would have ruled. My ex wifes attorney was just the opposite. He brought up and argued issues of 150.00 dollars, even though he was charging 250.00 per hour. There is no better divorce attorney. Teri is an outstanding person, lady and attorney.
