Great for startup work!

I've worked with Teresa on several startup deals - both where I was the investor and when I was on the inside. In each case she clearly explained to me the ramifications of the documents I was executing. Additionally, she was exceptionally communicative and responsive - she was waiting on me, inste...ad of the other way around. Recommended!

Great Small Business Attorney

Teresa has helped my business with all of its legal needs for the last two years and it's been a great pleasure working with her. She helped us with the initial business formation, as well as all sorts of agreements we use in our transactions. Teresa is super knowledgable, friendly, patient and acces...sible. We highly recommend her.

Small Business

I was extremely nervous to set up my small business. I was sure I would miss a step. I let Teresa Daggett take the lead and I am so happy I did. Teresa helped me create an LLC, register with the State, trademark the business name, and put together an amazing contract for me to use with future clients.... Then she explained everything to me so I felt confident handling things in the future. Teresa answered the phone when I called, could meet with me right away, was available to answer all my questions, and got the job done quick. If I need a lawyer in the future, she will be my first call. I recommend you call her, too!

Great attorney for a new small business owner

I was referred to Teresa Daggett for her expertise in business contract law. I first hired her to help me form my LLC and continued working with her throughout the process of purchasing a business. Nailing down a business purchase agreement that satisfied both parties took some time and I felt well... represented throughout negotiations. After closing the sale, I had need to consult with Teresa again to draw up a non-disparagement contract with a former employee. In each of these tasks, I felt Teresa listened well to my needs, was very accessible and responsive, and expressed a genuine interest in my business and its success. Recently I called Teresa with a non-related, legal question and was warmly received (and remembered). She took a few minutes to offer her thoughts on my question and I was reminded of how generous she is with her time. I would highly recommend working with Teresa Daggett.

Very knowledgeable attorney!

Teresa Daggett did a great job handling all the legal aspects and issues of a business acquisition for me. She is very knowledgeable, thorough, and a good communicator (both with me and with the other associated parties that need to be in the loop). I appreciated the fact that Teresa knew what need...ed to be done to protect my interests and those of our company, and she took charge and handled those matters that needed to be handled. Her rates are reasonable, and when I consider the quality and quantity of her work, I felt like I got good value for the money. I would highly recommend Teresa.

"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."

"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!"

"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."
