Very respectable person and lawyer in Mammoth Lakes, Ca.

I have lived in Mammoth Lakes, Ca now for about 18 years. I was introduced to Therese through a friend of mine and right away she came off as a very polite, very sweet and very professional person. I had gotten myself into a little trouble and i decided to give her a call and ask her thoughts on my s...ituation. She was very helpful and answered any questions i had about my case. She has kept in touch about everything that is going on with my case and has given me great legal advice. Therese is very personable and has great respect for her clients. I definitely recommend giving her a call if you need a good lawyer in the area. I have spoken with other lawyers and had other lawyers in the past and none of them even come close to Therese Hankel as far as being professional and most importantly easy to talk to. She goes out of her way to do anything and everything she can to make sure you get the best deal possible for your case.

Excellent, Dedicated, Professional, Highly Intelligent

Our agency hired Attorney Hankel for a a very complicated case, and we prevailed due to her vast knowledge and experience with the local justice system. Attorney Hankel was at all times highly dedicated, professional, communicative on all aspects of the case, demonstrated the highest degree of legal... acumen, integrity and commitment to us/her client. Without any reservation or hesitation, our agency would retain Attorney Hankel's services again.

Great Criminal Defense Attorney

I wanted to take this opportunity to provide a review and testimonial on the legal services of Therese Hankel. Upon engaging her as our attorney, she jumped right in on our case. She was very compassionate, attentive and professional. She provided us with a sense of "calm" while our family was goi...ng through a frightening experience. Her investigation of the incident was very impressive. You could tell she was very knowledgeable and had a complete understanding of the law which helped our case. Because of her relationships, experience and knowledge she was able to make this unfortunate event "go away". If you are ever in need of an attorney in Mammoth Lakes/ Mono County CA area I would strongly recommend her services.

Excellent Attorney

I have hired Therese Hankel over the years for several situations requiring the need of an attorney. Living in a small town she is well familiar with the intricacies of practicing in this unique environment. Rather than specializing in one small area of law Therese has shown the ability to competen...tly handle many areas of law that apply to our area of Inyo and Mono County. I ran into problems purchasing some business property once, Two brothers were selling the building and not really getting along with each other. Even with a real estate agent trying to help complete the sale the escrow company would not move forward without the agreement of both brothers. Therese researched the issue and learned the local and state laws regarding these disputes. She was able to step in and help complete the sale. Later we used Therese to help us make lease agreements for our tenants. She was thorough and responsive to our needs and the needs of our tenants to create agreements that were amenable to all parties. We have had a variety of tenants over our 14 year period now. We have only had a disagreement with one of them. After needed to evict him he refused to leave. Therese again stepped in and helped us through the process. In my own business I deal with the federal government. When a disagreement arose with them over a matter of permitting Therese again researched the laws relating to our case, went to federal court with me and helped me reverse the original decision that banned me from a certain permit I needed that was critical to the operation of my business. I have felt comfortable referring many people to Therese over the years. I watched her help a friend in need wade the tricky waters of a DUI arrest. She has also done great work for the local women's shelter. Through everything we have hired Therese for she has been thorough and professional. I would hire Therese for any matter requiring the use of an attorney.
