The Best Choice I Could Have Made
I am deeply grateful to attorney Teresa Trucchi for guiding me through a very difficult two-year divorce. From the start, she stood out with her genuine care, calm confidence, and belief in the law’s ability to protect me. Throughout the case, Ms. Trucchi combined professionalism, strategy, and de...

Case dismissed, attorney resigned from case due to personal reasons
This lawyer took my Personal injury case in 2011, then in 2013 she could not continue due to a medical reason. Rather than keep the case within the firm, they had me sign paperwork to be my own lawyer and referred me to some PI Atty in Los Angeles, 120 miles away. I did not believe that I had time ...
I regret that your case did not work out for you. As you noted above, I recall that I explained the situation and provided you with assistance to find a different attorney. As you mention above, there was no other attorney in our firm that could handle the matter. I am sorry that you felt compelled to write this review some five years later, however, I believe that you had sufficient time to find a new attorney if you wanted to pursue the matter further. I wish you the best of luck in any future endeavors.

Remarkable!
Teresa was amazing when it came down to my situation. I was involved in a horrible car accident where my car was totaled by another car & I was T-boned (hit right into my driver's side). This resulted in some bad injuries, and I didn't know where to go or what to do. I didn't even consider a lawyer a...

The Attorney Who Listens
The vision in my right eye was permanently damaged by an ophthalmologist who decided to skip an important test. Ms. Trucchi found an error my medical records that had prevented my legal case from moving forward. We corrected the error, and my case just settled for a significant amount. Ms. Trucc...
