Great nonprofit help
We have had a couple of unusual problems lately. As a nonprofit, you often try to figure things out yourself, but we really needed specific guidance and legal knowledge. Teresa helped quickly, efficiently, effectively in both cases. I recommend her highly.

Consulting contract review

Excellent outside general counsel for growing technology LLC.
As outside general counsel, Teresa did a great job! She competently handled Board of Directors communications, the minute book, commercial agreements, employment agreements, and a major investment in the company. We especially appreciated her ability to understand the nuances in our business and to p...
"Teresa is a top-notch knowledgeable securities and business lawyer. I handle corporate transactions including private offerings for established clients up to a certain level. When I reach the ceiling of my knowledge, Teresa is an excellent resource for assisting in the more sophisticated issues. She works very collegially and cost-effectively with other attorneys. I have also recommended her for the entire securities offering work for new or less-established clients, where I do not have the background in their business to know what the disclosure memo should cover. Teresa is very affable, pleasant to work with, and dedicated to excellent work product as a reasonable fee."
"I have worked closely with Teresa on a business matter. She is a dedicated lawyer with a passion for helping business owners succeed. She is not only competent and experienced but also very approachable, which makes her stand out as an asset to the legal community."
"I endorse this lawyer. Ms. Daggett is the attorney to call when you have a business matter or any other legal problem. She has "Big Firm" experience and, therefore, would be the person to call when you pick up that phone. More importantly, she is knowledgeable, approachable, personable, and highly responsive."
"I endorse this lawyer. Teresa has incredible business knowledge and experience and an amazing eye for detail."
"Teresa is an exceptionally able business lawyer. She offers years of practical experience, animated by a deep and passionate commitment to her clients."
"Teresa and I are fellow members of a number of local professional organizations, and I have been consistently impressed with her integrity and her knowledge of corporate securities law, Washington corporate law and business transactions generally. As a tax lawyer who finds myself doing significant corporate business planning for clients, I often consult Teresa on corporate and business planning issues. She is generous with her expertise, an intellectually curious person and a valuable resource to the legal community. She is also a pleasure to work with, certainly not something that can be said about just any lawyer!"
"I heartily recommend Teresa Daggett to any business looking for competent representation. For as long as I have known Teresa she has always been consistently upbeat and solution-focused. Teresa also understands the needs of businesses, is honest, and hard working."
"Teresa Daggett is an extremely competent and experienced attorney in her field. She has excellent people-skills and I would highly recommend her for any client from the small business owner to a large corporation."
"Teresa brings a tremendous amount of good energy to her practice. She has taken much of the good from the large firm practice – high ethical and technical standards – and brings that to her practice for smaller, more cost-sensitive clients. Whenever I have had a question, she has been unstintingly generous with her time, knowledge, and experience."
"If you're considering working with Teresa, look no further. She has very impressive large firm experience and top-notch expertise in all sorts of business matters, including corporate and securities law. Yet she brings a thoughtful, caring, and personalized approach to her clients. I highly recommend her work!"
"I highly recommend Teresa. She is an excellent lawyer with great business sense. She is highly skilled, extremely responsive to clients, bright and personable."
"Teresa brings great energy to her work. She cares deeply about her work and her clients. She's organized, careful and thoughtful - all great qualities in an attorney."
"I have worked extensively with Teresa and she is very thorough and hard working. She has experience in a wide range of transactions and does an excellent job."
