I had been told that the County Attorney wanted jail time and would NOT negotiate. Teresa was not the lawyer I hired, but my lawyer was busy the day of my court hearing. Teresa went to the courtroom offered a class instead of jail time and not only will the class help me gain employment and help me get a job, but I also got 2 years suspended sentence on low-risk probation. After 3 LONG months of not knowing my fate, I have only Teresa to thank, for me not to have to be away from my children. I would recommend hiring her with ANY case. She knows what she's doing and always answers her phone. Thanks again Teresa Pope.

My name is Tim Ash. This is the first time that I’ve ever written a review for anyone. I don’t know if I can put into words how professional, knowledgeable and personable Teresa Pope is. I was referred to her by a trusted friend. Bottom line is she helped me navigate the most difficult thing a married couple can go through, Divorce. After 32 years of marriage I had no idea how difficult and stressful ending my marriage would be. I’m going to keep this short. Teresa Pope listens when you talk, guides you when things look out of control and brings a professional sense of calm to you when things get heated. She didn’t become an attorney for the money. She decided to go to law school so she could help people in need. She cares. She gets it. Again, if someone is in need of counsel during the most difficult time of one’s life, this is the advocate you want representing you. Teresa Pope is the finest attorney I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. Thanks again Teresa. Tim Ash

Teresa Pope is a fantastic family law attorney. She is sympathetic and caring with clients while a barracuda in the court room and during negotiations. She definitely is the attorney you want on your side.

I have chose Teresa in multiple criminal and civil cases, and she’ll definitely be the first one that I call if I should ever need representation again. She was always very well mannered and matter of fact, she also always seemed invested into the situation and always kept me well informed on everything that was happening! Teresa as well as everyone at Branstad Law is truly worth every penny!
