No-nonsense, Great Value, Remembers You in Detail

My family and I hired Terry to administer my dad & mom's A/B trust after his death. She also helped to dissolve a Family Limited Partnership he had created. All of this was followed up with a new will and trust for my mom. Later, things needed changing as my mom's capacity declined. Terry supporte...d us through that, legally and as a trusted friend and advisor. Everything was done as fast as we needed and was appropriate to our needs. Terry has handled sensitive issues with aplomb, where circumstances could have caused a very volatile situation or a rift in the family. I have complete trust that Terry will solve our problems in her usual no-nonsense manner, but with extreme diplomacy. Terry is very easy to reach either by phone or email, which she replies to quickly. Even if I have an issue that is non E&T, she can generally advise me or point me in the right direction. I would consider her our family attorney now, since 2008. She remembers me and details about me and my family, including the dynamics. Terry looks to me like she's about in her 50s, and if you saw her in the grocery store you wouldn't think, "There's an attorney..." It's likely she'll greet you wearing slacks and a camp-shirt with a pull-over sweater and loafers. Frankly, I appreciate that all her fees aren't going into Ralph Lauren suits and Gucci pumps :-) Her demeanor is very practical and she will talk loud enough that your grandma can hear her. She has had the same admin / paralegal for quite some time. I mention this because retention indicates that she's easy to work with and non-drama. BTW, her admin is more than a gate keeper. She will remember you and will be familiar with your matter. You couldn't pick a more caring and conscientious attorney. BTW, I have worked with several attorneys in the past and can say, Terry does not nickel and dime you, and her rates are lower than average for the area. I've had attorneys burn through a retainer with 10 minutes here and there to "read and evaluate" an email or answer the phone. In other words, you get value for what you pay with Terry's law office.

Choosing a "valued" relationshipo

I have known Theresa now for a number of years. I used her initially to construct my own Estate Plan. What struck me immediately was her thoroughness, knowledge, interest in my ambitions for my family, and her willingness to hold my hand through the process. There is much we don't know when it com...es to Estate Planning and she was invaluabe in making me feel at peace that my wishes would be administered. Since then, I have used and referred Theresa to my own clients. As a trusted advisor myself working for Merrill Lynch, it creates a great peace of mind knowing that my clients are benefitting from a "valued" relationship to assist in their wealth management objectives. Theresa is a consummate professional and really finds reward in her role. She brings with her a high level of integrity and class, something that in today's economic environment we need.

Ms Mcconville

Ms Mcconville is an extremely competent attorney. She has given us advice on many occasions and eliminated a lot of worry and concern on our part. She prepared all the estate trusts for our family and was able to do an extremely complicated business estate in a timely manner. My husband and I high...ly recommend Ms Mcconville for her caring manner, expertise, ethics and professionalism.

Terri = Wonderful Intelligent Caring

I have had the pleasure of having Terri as my attorney for over 20 years. She is not your typical attorney. She cares enough to tell you the real story and guide you through everything with pride and dignity. No games to make a buck. She truly cares about her clients and will give you every scenar...io going so you can make the right choices for your situation. I had no idea just how important it was to do your trust the right way and cover all the bases. She explained everything and made me feel extremely comfortable that my children would be cared for and not taken advantage of if something happens to me. Not many people really enjoy going to a law office, but Terri is truly a remarkable person and makes the process a learning experience. You walk away with new knowledge and empowerment that you have made the correct decisions to protect your family and assets.

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 1993.

Discipline with Actual Suspension issued in CA, 1993

updated on 01/20/2016

This sanction means the attorney lost his or her license to practice law for a period of time. The attorney typically returns to practicing law when the suspension expires.

Theresa’s comment:

“Regarding the finding of misconduct: Twenty-four years ago, in 1988, my son was seriously injured in an accident. Over the following two years, he underwent treatment and multiple surgeries to correct a serious medical problem, caused by the injury. I was inattentive to aspects of my practice, during that time. It was several years later, in 1993, that the State Bar responded to the complaints and I was suspended for two months. I did not oppose the allegations, nor the sanctions.”
