SAVED OUR LIVES

9 years ago Teresa Trucchi was referred to me to help in a VERY difficult family matter with my ex. This case is still ongoing with another matter being filed June 6th. Teresa has never faltered in taking the time and energy to do the most outstanding job possible. She has taken this case to uncha...rted territory and successfully managed to achieve our goals each and every time. Having said this, it is hard to believe an attorney can achieve such success but I am here to tell you she has and continues to do so. She is a firecracker who is dedicated and persistant and will never back down to help your case. Just when you think you don't have any other recourse available she always has another option. If it wasn't for Teresa my daughter and I would not be where we are today. If you are looking for an attorney who will have your best interest and success in mind Teresa Trucchi is your only answer. Thank you Teresa for being you!

Professional, Honest, Hardworking

I have a high-conflict custody case. I can't convey how fortunate I am to have met attorney Trucchi and have her represent our case in court. I give her credit for saving my daughters life. Yes, I did say that. My daughter has been away from her abusers for over a year and I will guarantee due to att...orney Trucchi's help my daughter will continue to be safe and happy. I know the reason behind this too. Trucchi is honest. She gives all sides to the story in court and lays a foundation of reality. I owe her more than I can convey. I consider her family. If you need someone to represent you

Effective and Personal

I consulted with Teresa regarding divorce issues and she gave me sage advice that saved me from making a big mistake! She is perceptive, personal and very sharp. Since that time I have referred several of my clients (I am a Marriage and Family Therapist) to her and they all have raved about her servi...ces. A couple of these cases were extremely complex and I was amazed at how smoothly she was able to settle their affairs. I refer to her without hesitation or reservation of any kind. One big problem with attorneys id their inability for them to keep in contact, return calls, and being collaborative with me or their clients - THIS IS NOT TRUE WITH TERESA! Thank you Teresa, you are jewel in our community.

One of the best!

Teresa Trucchi is a remarkable attorney who deserves praise for her skills in family law and personal injury claims. I have known Teresa for years and she is and has been my attorney in several legal matters. She has always settled my cases in my favor and has also settled multiple friends’ lawsuit...s in the same manner. I refer Teresa to everyone that ever asks me for a recommendation. Teresa is just and fights for what she believes in. She is well known in the legal community for her relentless work ethic and ability to win hard cases. Teresa is efficient when handling a case and is able to settle lawsuits without getting involved in the “drama”. In my personal experiences with her, it has always been apparent that Teresa is respected among clients, opposing counsels, insurance companies, mediators and judges, not only in San Diego, but surrounding counties. Teresa Trucchi is an amazing lawyer who gets the job done. She volunteers her time and is a tremendous asset to our San Diego community. If you are looking for a family law or personal injury attorney to aggressively represent you and who will go to any lengths to win the fair fight, look no further.
