Theresa is great.

Theresa has been very responsive and helpful in navigating my divorce and a subsequent change to my parenting plan. She has always answered my questions and completed paperwork in a timely manner.

Fantastic Lawyer!

Theresa helped me with filing for divorce. While it was a hard time in my life she made the actual filing easy to do and timely. I couldn't recommend her more.

Smart, calm, flexible and

Theresa represented me in a non-litigation based divorce. She helped bring about a resolution that was fair and avoided unnecessary or protracted legal fights. Theresa was fair minded, supportive and calm throughout and repeatedly found ways to de-escalate conflict and get discussions back where they... needed to be. She is a tremendously smart woman, very experienced in divorce law and a great communicator. She was exactly the advocate I had hoped to find.

Outstanding family law attorney

I have been working with Theresa for almost a year now. I hired her to represent me in a high conflict divorce and custody case. She has been consistently excellent in her responsiveness to my concerns and ability to conduct herself with integrity when against very unprofessional opposing counsel. ... She has been compassionate and understanding of the stressful dynamics of my case while helping me focus on the best ways to productively move forward legally. I highly recommend her.

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.
