Thank You!

In 35 years, I have not found myself in a situation requiring the need to defend myself with the help of an attorney. I was referred to Ms. Teresa Groves. There are no words to truly and fully describe this experience . I was originally advised by the referring attorney that it was Ms. Groves' day o...ff... so imagine the surprise when my phone rings an hour later.. and Ms. Groves is introducing herself!!!! But as the day and our conversation progressed, that would be the least surprising thing Ms. Groves did! She spent the ENTIRE day speaking with me, providing invaluable information (that kept me from literally being in more trouble (by simply not knowing)), and speaking with her colleagues to get me the absolute most accurate, up to date information. I cannot express how hard Ms. Groves worked for me, how thorough, considerate and upfront she was. Her colleagues spoke highly of her and I see EXACTLY why. I am forever thankful I found Ms. Groves. I sincerely thank you for ALL of your time, effort, and hard work, Ms. Groves! I wish you all the best! Thank you again! -Courtney J.

The Best Attorney

Teresa Groves at Puget Law Group, has been phenomenal! She was hired for a post conviction case. My husband being still incarcerated, we were so nervous talking to her because of how many before her had failed us and for a pretty penny. Teresa was incredibly easy to talk to, she never left us in th...e dark about anything, always kept us updated on a regular, even if nothing had changed, she's fairly priced, shes been honest from day one, and has fought harder for my husband than any other has. We are so thankful to have found her!

She fixed it!

Teresa was able to solve all my problems and then some. She was quick to respond and update me every step of the way. I am forever grateful!

Fantastic service

I called her at 3pm on a Tuesday because my wife's HIPPA rights were being violated in a way that would interfere with her legal case. She immediately called me back, got the number of the agency and called the licensed professional about the matter. Said person stood down immediately and it was sett...led before the damage could be done.
