This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Kind, honest, diligent!

Terry helped my fiance and me determine whether we needed a pre-nup or not. He was very responsive, scheduling our call quickly and providing 30+ minutes of his time listening & offering advice. He ultimately recommended we do an estate plan vs. a pre-nup based on our specific goals, which meant he g...ave up a potential business opportunity since we would need to work with a different kind of lawyer for that. That's a sign of a great lawyer who operates with integrity and honesty. He was very helpful, consultative, had a great sense of humor, and clearly had a strong work ethic. We would definitely recommend consulting with him to see if there's a fit.

"I have had the privilege of knowing and working with Attorney Szucsko on several legal matters including martial dissolution and child support. In working with Attorney Szucsko, I discovered his incredible professionalism and relentless work to best represent his clients. Few attorneys have the knowledge and work ethic to provide such exemplary services to their clients. I highly recommend any person with questions regarding their family law matter give him a call."

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I can safely say that with Terry - you're in great hands. In addition to being an amazing lawyer, he's dedicated to his clients 100%. i don't envy the practice of family law: it is fraught with emotions, uncooperative opposing parties, and often difficult opposing counsel. Terry does it with grace, style, and great success for his clients. I hope never to need his services as a divorce lawyer, but if I did - I wouldn't think twice about turning to him for help."

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • 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.
