About Therese
Biography
I began my legal career clerking for the Hon. Robert E. Bowen in the Hennepin County District Court in Minneapolis, Minnesota. After I finished law school, I clerked for the Hon. Thomas Forsberg with the Minnesota Court of Appeals. I presently practice criminal defense, real estate and civil litigation in the Eastern Sierra. I have a niche practice representing mountain guides with the Forest Service. I like to ski, hike, climb and run in the mountains.

Do not hire
Unprofessional. Unreliable. DO NOT HIRE!! This woman should be reported for malpractice. Her (complete lack of) representation is fraudulent and a waste of time, hope and money. Theresa was referred to us via another lawyer. Theresa regularly did not return phone calls. She failed to appear for us...

Legal representation at its finest
Therese went above and way beyond my expectations. The amount of time spent outside of standard procedure to ensure that my case went smoothly was phenomenal. She made me feel safe and well represented throughout my case and beyond. Therese will not only fight for you, she will win. An amazing attor...

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.

careful
Ms Hankel is a very unethical attorney.I picked her out of a phone book and it was a huge mistake ! I was ticketed for driving with out a license in Mono County.I paid my fines but she was dead set on me doing work release instead of house arrest.House arrest in Riverside County is washing police car...
Therese Hankel
Replied last March 01, 2019Well, I'm not really sure what more I could have done for Kirk. We had a 10-hour Retainer Agreement which ended at trial or a plea. Within that Retainer, I drafted, filed and litigated a Suppression Motion. The Court ultimately ruled that the stop was lawful, and I was then able to negotiate a jail sentence (max 6 months) to ten days and then have that converted to NO jail time, but to community service. I also got the IID installation requirement reduced from three years to six months. I spent over 30 hours on this case, but billed for only 10. 8 months after Kirk's plea, he was still requesting that I appear in court for him. After making numerous court appearances after the plea, requesting changes to the agreement per my client, I requested to be paid for additional services not covered by the 10-hour agreement. I am sure that Kirk's later health problems made him feel unduly punished by the Court.
