About Therese
Biography
For over 33 years, Ms. Accetta has provided competent and compassionate legal assistance to the Orange and Los Angeles communities. Her practice consists primarily of Family Law Matters, which range from negotiating settlements (eliminating the need for court appearances) to highly contested litigation (requiring the retention of forensic accountants, psychologists, appraisers, and various other experts). Ms. Accetta recognizes that every client has unique, individual needs and concerns. She promotes a positive environment in an effort to eliminate any unnecessary stress to the client. Ms. Accetta believes that being a parent, herself, has provided her with the empathy and understanding needed when dealing with issues of custody and visitation.
