I had a very positive experience with Tecla Lunak.

I was referred to Tecla by an employment attorney I deal with. I was at my wit's end, as I had initially hired a very weak attorney to represent me in a difficult divorce. My ex was bullying me and stubbornly refusing to sign any settlement. After my first attorney failed in his efforts; I then hir...ed a mediator, who came up with a balanced settlement but still my ex refused to sign it. It looked like it was going to be an expensive court case, when I consulted and hired Tecla. She was a former prosecutor and thus is comfortable in court. She was very detailed and eager to help me try to settle out of court. She seemed to be very intuitive about how to handle my ex's conduct and within a couple of months she had managed the impossible and got my husband to sign a settlement agreement!! The agreement she convinced him to sign was actually more favorable for me than the mediator's agreement that my ex had refused to sign, so it all worked out well in the end. I cannot express how much Tecla's actions eased my anxiety and stress and helped me put the pain of divorce behind me. Tecla is not inexpensive, but not the most expensive attorney locally, either; and her retainer requirement was quite reasonable compared to some other attorneys I consulted. I found her to be very fair in her billings, I did not feel gouged. I also appreciated that Tecla was warm and caring and very empathetic to my situation; she helped keep me calm during the intense stress of the divorce proceedings. Tecla is very firm & no-nonsense in her dealings with the "other side", but professional and knowledgeable. I am definitely thankful that I was referred to Tecla Lunak and would recommend to anyone needing a quality divorce attorney that they book a consultation with Tecla.

  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
