Awesome attorney and staff

Teresa has done an awesome job on my very strange divorce case. Her and her staff have been very attentive and kept me informed every step of the way.

Teresa made my difficult divorce easier!

Teresa was an incredible help to me during my divorce. She helped me understand what my options were and helped me to actually understand what those options meant! She was highly communicative and helped answer any questions I had while clearly having my best interests in mind. My divorce would have ...been more painful, difficult, and dragged out without the help I received from Teresa. If you’re looking for a Family Law attorney, she comes strongly recommended by me!

She is a fighter for sure.

I’m incredibly grateful for Teresa Keene and the support she provided during one of the most important and emotional times of my life. She helped me through a motion to relocate and a parenting plan case, and from start to finish, she made me feel understood, respected, and empowered. Out of all t...he lawyers I reached out to, Teresa was the only one who answered—and she was able to give me a consultation that very same day. Even though it was informal, she took the time to truly listen to my situation, and that meant a lot. I could immediately tell she cared about the outcome and the people involved. Teresa was not only professional and knowledgeable—she was kind and thoughtful. She explained everything clearly, made sure I felt prepared every step of the way, and always kept the focus on what was best for my child. I never felt like “just another case”—she genuinely cared. Thanks to her guidance and advocacy, I was able to move forward in a way that felt fair and stable for my family. I’m so glad I found her when I did. I would recommend Teresa to anyone needing legal help with family matters. She’s someone you can trust during a difficult time.

Criminal defense lawyer | Jan 29

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I endorse this lawyer's work. Teresa was instrumental in changing the atmosphere at the Public Defenders Regarding Felony First appearances. Those hearings often decide the life or death of a case. Because of her hard worked she restored many citizens lives, jobs and family life from oppressive bail/bond requirements. She is the GoTo Gal In Colfax!"

General practice lawyer | Sep 08

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Teresa and I worked together at the Public Defender's office in Spokane and again at a small firm. She shows consistent dedication to her client's cause and impeccable character. You can trust Teresa to tell you the truth of what you are facing and tell you what you need to hear, rather than what will make you feel best. Teresa is a great lawyer."
