Very grateful for a competent advocate -- glad I chose Ted

A divorce attorney is a professional I never expected to hire. Aside from the personal trauma, I was daunted by the huge roster of attorneys working in the area. Ted was referred by a client of a friend; the client reported that Ted worked the case in her favor and that the outcome was much better th...an she had hoped. After a consultation with Ted, I was surprised that he recommended contacting at least one other attorney, that I educate my self about the process, and evaluate whether I felt that he was a good fit for my case. I took his advice, and in the end, hired him over the other attorneys I had contacted. It was a great choice! His thorough knowledge of the process and ability to navigate roadblocks are impressive. Our case involved a good deal of foot-dragging from the other end, and Ted made intelligent calls regarding when to wait and when to act. He was responsive to my questions and preferences, and made adjustments to his approach based on my opinion. But he also was careful to make sure I understood the cause and effect of decisions we made. The team working in the office is phenomenal; they are efficient, personable, responsive, and always very supportive. You wouldn’t call the process “pleasant,” but I’m certain that hiring a competent attorney reduced the stress and made the journey easier.

An outstanding attorney

When I first met Ted I was nervous about the divorce process. Ted took the time to explain the process and he stoood by my side and calmed my nerves. He was always available whenever I needed him and was an oustanding advocate for me. He was always on top of the issues in my case. I always felt t...hat I was his top priority. He constantly explained my options to me and looked for ways to achieve my goals and reduce my legal costs. In legal matters Ted was a walking encyclopedia. He is truly an outstanding attorney in every sense of the word. I am very happy that I found him and highly recommend him to anyone going through a divorce. His office staff was awesome

Highly Recommended Divorce Attorney!

When I found myself heading toward divorce, I didn't know where to begin or what to do. A friend had given me a few names, and out of the three I had, Ted Billbe was the ONLY law office that called me back. When I met with Ted for the first time, I was nervous, confused, with my emotions were runni...ng high. Ted instantly made me feel comfortable by talking me through the process so that I could understand it and not rushing me out of the office. Divorce is rough, I don't care how "amicable" one says it can be, but I felt like I had someone I could trust to watch my back and help me negotiate through the legalities. I can't say enough about Ted and his staff!
