Terry A Szucsko

Went on 4 dates with a woman who planned a pregnancy, money extortion, phone and text threats. Terry and his team took my declarations text messages screenshots and built a case that the court immediately granted a temporary restraining order. Serving this woman was a challenge as she had left Califo...rnia to another state, so the team hired a fantastic private investigator who gathered all the information needed to locate her. She was successfully served and the court granted a domestic violence restraining order for 5 years. Excellent job in brining justice to this case. If I did nothing about it my baby would have been born with this violent woman who clearly planned this. I highly recommend working with Terry and his team - they are experts in restraining orders family law. I was able to build a case and work with them online while visiting my family overseas.

I was going through a very traumatic experience. Just got back from abroad where my Mom passed away, my husband hit me with the news that he wanted a divorce and was ready for me to leave our house and our cat. As a way of compensation he was offering to buy me a new cat. I was shocked and frozen, co...uld not understand what was happening. Until a friend of mine gave me Terry's email and phone number. As soon as he heard what was happening, on the phone, he was quick to explain what I was entitled to and what my rights were. And the amazing thing is that, later on, he worked out a wonderful financial deal for me and that my husband was way too happy to sign off on. Therefore we ended up reaching an agreement very quickly, and without the need of the opposite side's lawyer. Terry and his team are on your side, and they have the ability to de-escalate even the hardest situation. He is diplomatic, yet firm in his determination to protect his clients, and the result is that I was able to resolve everything in a much smoother way than I expected at the beginning, and in a very short time.

Terry came highly recommended by a family friend and did a fantastic job with my prenup. I compared 4 or 5 attorneys before deciding to hire him. He made the first consultation easy to schedule. Terry took time to listen, ask questions and tailor his advice to my individual situation. He built trust ...by being patient with even basic questions. He was flexible and adapted his services to mine and fiancé's preferences regarding face to face discussions, negotiations and online meetings. In fact, it was no trouble working with him using various digital tools, which was valuable when the COVID19 shelter in place started. To summarize, Terry was professional, competent, reliable and sharp. I am completely happy with the resulting prenuptial agreement.

I hired Terry to work on a fairly unique case that many other attorneys I contacted seemed to have no knowledge of (or just had bad advice for). Terry's patience and knowledge on the matter guided me gracefully throughout the process, which was quite long. At points when difficult decisions needed to... be made, Terry was always in my corner and he never tried to push me in one direction or the other. I felt as if Terry truly cared about my best interest. He also provided honest and thoughtful feedback during multiple confusing scenarios, and helped immensely with the critical thinking involved in my case. I also genuinely enjoyed working with him because of his great personality – never thought anyone would be able to make me laugh in the courthouse (a pretty depressing place to be), but he was always able to put me at ease! I would highly recommend Terry to anyone.

I’m in the initial stages of a potential divorce. Terry was referred to me by another attorney with the introduction of “this is the guy you need advising you”. My attorney was right, Terry is fantastic. He’s provided me straight forward guidance, advice on how to protect myself and my assets, and to...ld me that once I get to a certain point to give him a call and he’ll step-in to start the divorce process. There was no pressure to provide a retainer, or to do anything in my relationship to either save my marriage or file for divorce, just honest advice. He also didn’t sugar coat the fact that things could get ugly, and walked me through a few scenario’s and how to handle them before I retain Terry’s counsel.
