Review Terri D. Leary

I would be glad to speak on behalf of Attorney Terri Leary. She recently represented my son in a complicated legal matter. She was not afraid to put her legal reputation and her standing within a certain court system on the line in my sons defense. She was committed, compassionate, prepared, and was ...willing to take on a system that appeared to be stacked against him. I cannot thank Attorney Leary enough as she skillfully navigated us through this difficult ordeal. The outcome was far more than we could have expected. We are thankful to use Terri Leary as our attorney and are equally happy to have her as a friend.

Professional, Compassionate Attorney - EXCELLENT

Terri is a excellent attorney who will really go the extra distance for her clients. My son had a few cases which Terri represented us with. The first being a very long and dragged out DUI case which seemed like it would never be resolved. Terri went above and beyond with all of our cases and most... importantly really cared. Her passion in helping others is quickly evident just in meeting her the first time and she truly cares about not only the law but also the welfare of her clients. I highly recommend Terri. I have worked for many attorney's in the past and Terri without-a-doubt is one of the most compassionate attorneys and will work tirelessly to help her clients.

Best Lawyer Ever.

I hired Atty. Leary to help me with a very difficult situation. She took control of the case, and handled it with great concern. I am so very grateful to her for her professional manor and demeanor. I would hire her again if I needed to and recommend her to others.

Unbelievably dedicated, extremely educated, and an all around professional.

I was dealing with an extremely interesting, confusing case. The first lawyer I went with was a bust, and a court employee introduced me to Terri and suggested I use her to help my case. I have to say, this was the best suggestion I could have gotten. From the first day, Terri was amazing. She was i...ncredible. Not only did she go to bat for me, she went above and beyond. Terri took my case not knowing the intricacies involved, and even when the fine details came out, she didn't back down. The integrity and moral fiber she exhibits both inside and outside of the courtroom cannot be match. She is professional, dedicated, and caring. She stood by my side even when things weren't looking good. Terri did her research and was able to battle the uphill struggle of the Massachusetts Court System. She kept me "in the loop" with every step of my case. I cannot say enough positive things about Terri. She will step up to the plate even if it's going to be a tough fight.

Dedicated & On Your Side!

Thank God I had Terri on my side when no one else was there for me she was on my side. Terri is an amazing attorney and very affordable provides excellent legal resources and goes beyond expectations to help her clients, I was a young woman in over her head and Terri guided me every step of the way a...nd if I ever need legal assistance again she would be my first choice. Thanks Terri!

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education

  • 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.
