Very Helpful

Terry was very helpful, definitely the consultation I needed. He took the time to listen to my case and provide his insight. Highly Recommended.

Paul

I consulted Mr. Scannell over the phone about a property line dispute with a neighbor. He was super helpful, and after hearing my side of the situation - he was honest and thoughtful and suggested "you probably don't want to fight this fight". Having never been involved in any court case of any kin...d - this was exactly the advice I was looking for and I'm thankful that he provided it without having to take the matter any farther.

above and beyond

after I e-mailed Mr. Scannell, I realized I had e-mailed him before about this same issue, he said he did not deal with timeshares, but the last time I e-mailed him I did ask if he had any suggestions. He gave me a name of another attorney that may be able to help. He did not have to do this, he coul...d have just left it as it was. But it does show he is committed to helping people. I hope I never need to use an attorney again, but if I do I will make the trip to his office. Thank you Mr. Scannell.

Honest and helpful

I called Terry for help regarding a pending legal matter. He was knowledgable, honest, and helpful. I really appreciate that he does not bill clients to research background information--he will refer you to someone else if he is not an expert in the relevant area of the law.

Relief!

We consulted Terry about best options in selling our house after being in one place longer than we ever expected. Terry put us at ease with instant rapport, obvious credibility, and patient help, in sorting and focusing on priorities. We were surprised when he declined compensation for our first ...meeting (that ran longer than I expected). We agreed to follow up, as our situation progresses. I'd recommend Terry to anyone needing help in his practice areas. Other attorneys were referred to us, but I'm glad we connected with Terry. If you think you might need an attorney, you probably should talk with one. But do your research first, then choose carefully. After reading about him on Avvo (resume, reviews, "Legal Answers," etc) and elsewhere, my positive impression was more than confirmed in person.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
