Fantastic Attorney!

Mr. Teplinsky is the best lawyer I've ever worked with. He is knowledgeable and capable of analyzing through legal documents' misrepresentations. He helped with my separation case. He educated me, offered me good counsel, and was compassionate to my situation. He did not cost me a lot and promptly an...swered my calls and emails. I am so appreciative of their assistance and how smoothly the process went.

Excellent Lawyer!

I wholeheartedly advise Attorney Teplinsky. While handling my case, my attorney consistently displayed excellent judgment, a high level of professionalism, as well as empathy, and kindness. He gave me high-quality advice and an affordable Smart Legal Program, that was personalized to meet my needs an...d drew on my great knowledge and experience. His assistance and guidance in navigating such a trying period have been greatly appreciated.

Excellent in Collaborative, Mediation or Litigation Family Law Matters

Talk about a conscientious and compassionate attorney who always considers what is best for his client! He will do everything possible to try and help both parties settle their divorce or separation using collaborative measures. If this is absolutely not an option, then he will consider mediation and... how this might work. When neither of those options are suitable, he will represent his client in court with a ferocity that is not commonly seen. My experience with him was nothing short of excellent and he held my hand throughout the whole process. In my situation, like so many of these family law cases, things are never as straight forward as they initially might seem. I had a number of issues that came up which caused the process to drag on, especially since this was a contested divorce in my case. However, having a very knowledgeable and experienced attorney like Michael is the key to reaching a favorable outcome or resolution. He comes with a litany of fresh ideas and perspectives on how to best navigate problematic situations as they arise. It is without reservation that I always have, and continually will, recommend Michael to anyone who is about to embark on the treacherous journey of divorce.
