Highly recommend for family law!

My experience with Ms. Tess Reutzel has been great. From the very first time we spoke on the phone I could tell she was knowledgable and would take time with my case. I could not be more happy with the legal services she has provided me!

"I endorse this lawyer. Tess is a savvy attorney with significant experience in Family Law. Her expertise and ability to adapt to differing personal styles garners her respect from clients, colleagues, and even opposing attorneys. She has a tireless work ethic and compassion for her clients. She is very personable, fights for her clients and gets the job done extremely well. Additionally, her background in mediation allows her to be an effective advocate for her clients. I highly endorse this lawyer's great work."

Family lawyer | Mar 01

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Ms. Reutzel represented my ex-wife in my divorce, which included a number a difficult custody and business valuation issues. Ms. Reutzel was extraordinarily professional even during very acrimonious points in the divorce. I could tell that she kept herself fully informed, was well-prepared, and frankly that resulted in a lot of settlements of issues and reduced overall costs as we avoided prolonged litigation. Ms. Reutzel is a tough advocate, to be certain. But I am confident that she is also a helpful counselor at law. Her client, my ex, began to demonstrate a much better understanding of the issues of our case, on a day-to-day basis after Ms. Reutzel began working with her. She is a sharp attorney that can identify the issues quickly, and get to the bottom of things with assertiveness, disarming charm, or both. I particularly recommend her to clients that were not involved in day-to-day business/finance issues during the marriage, and when custody of young children is involved."
