Patient, excellent attorney who doesn't overcharge

Terasita represented me during my divorce 6 years ago which ended up in mediation. I am not an easy client because I will ask a million questions and I like detailed answers and I also have a tendency to change my mind often on what I should or shouldn't do. She easily could've become impatient and... rude but from the beginning to the end, she was patient,calm,attentive and a good listener. She made me feel like she cared about her clients and winning her cases much more than the amount she charges. She is a fine combination of kind and tenacious. A sharp competitor in her field but a good person to her clients. She is easily half the cost of a top rated trial lawyer, and would be just as good if put on trial, if not better than some of the bulldogs out there that are in it JUST to fight and rape your pocketbook, then get upset and push for trial if you choose to mediate. Hire her if you don't want to spend $15 grand on your divorce but still come out with a fair deal.

Teresita Varela

I have greatly appreciated the support Teresita Varela was able to provide during my divorce. As a father of four children I was not confident that primary custody would be achievable, however with Teresita's help it was! Teresita has been approachable, flexible, insightful, and professional.

Tenacious!

I unfortunately have had an adversarial relationship with my ex wife for the past 7 years. Most recently, she filed court paperwork charging me with harassment. Rather than try and fight the claim on my own, I sought out legal counsel and a family friend referred me to Teresita. Going to court, I'm ...glad Teresita was on my side! She had very clean, clear, and structured arguments, refuting claims from the other party (my ex). The harassment claim was dismissed. Thank you Teresita!

Absolutley Amazing

The first time I met Teresita I knew I had found an amazing lawyer. Teresita is very personable, honest, accomodating and really cares about what you are going through. She is thorough in her research and is very detailed. She is very up front about what your options are and does not make choices fo...r you. She very much makes me feel as though she works for me and is VERY honest about billing her time. I recommend her to EVERYONE I meet. She has a big heart and a great work ethic.
