Family court and divorce

My ex wife and her lawyer tried to charge me with false allegations of domestic violence to steal my son away from me. Just because you get a divorce doesn't mean you dovorce your kids. Teresa Trucchi helped out my case alot I was facing 2 years of not seeing my son and she got me half custody within... 6 months of us going to court and figuring out ways to get my son back in taking classes for myself and therapy and parenting classes and us following court orders. Then teresa went to work and did her thing. it was a team effort we made and she came out on top iam very happy to have had her for a lawyer, me and my son thank her tremendously.

Patience of a saint

I hired Teresa last year to assist in my custody case. And it was one of the best descisions I have ever made. She was awesome! When dealing with something so personal tempers can flair. Teresa has a very kind heart and a calming demeanor that is able to see beyond the emotions of a situation to what... is the best thing possible for your child. She was readily availible and really listened to all of my concerns. She was able to explain things throughly to my and the other party so there was no communication errors between us. More importantly, she shoots it to you straight, i may have not liked everything she said, but it was advice I needed to hear so I wouldn't make a rash descision out of anger. With her legal council I feel I have a stronger relationship with the other person involved which makes co-parenting a lot easier. I wish I would have gone to her sooner than I did. I have reccommended her to friends and family. If I ever find myself in a situation where I would need a lawyer again, she woukd be the first person I call. Hands down! Thank you Teresa! Words cannot begin to describe the positive impact you have made on my families life!

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
