Teresa is extremely professional and knowledgeable. She provided just the representation I asked for in my divorce and needed, without fleecing me for unnecessary billables. Her representation was excellent and her fees fair.

Through my experience both lawyers at the DeFord Law Firm made me feel confident and comfortable. They went above and beyond on achieving my goals. I truly felt like they had not only my best interest in mind, but also my children and showed compassion throughout the whole process! I would recommend the DeFord Law Firm to anyone and everyone in the Houston area!

Teresa genuinely cared about me as a person during my divorce. She remained calm and professional, even when I was scared of what was happening. Would use again definitely, but hope I never have to!

Teresa did a great job of meeting my needs during the time of my divorce and child support enforcement. Her expertise and understanding helped to make difficult, time consuming legal matters manageable. I felt like I had a prized fighter on my side. She also was available with timely responses to my pressing questions.

I was referred to Teresa by a mutual friend and what a great experience I had. I was creating, for the first time in my life, a will to protect my family. Teresa was immensely knowledgeable, understanding and patient as I determined how best to take care of my-self and my family. Between my office and Teresa's office was quite a bit of distance, I am sure I passed the law offices of hundreds of attorneys. I wouldn't change a thing...the end result was exactly what I wanted and the entire experience was positive. Thank you, Teresa!

Teresa was a great help to me when I filed for divorce. She kept me up-to-date with the process, court information, and the next steps. Her guidance was very reassuring as I went through the divorce proceedings, and she put my mind at ease by answering any questions I asked. Her office is located in The Woodlands, which was very convenient for me, and her staff are equally helpful and responsive. I will recommend Teresa to anyone seeking to hire an attorney. Thank you, Teresa!

Some attorneys are pushy and start barking orders at you when a divorce is going down, and make the divorce way more stressful than it already is. Not Teresa. She guided, informed, and let me call the shots based on my situation. She formed a plan, and told me what she needed from me to get the desired results I wanted. She answered all my questions, and we were overly prepared for everything to go my way by the time we were standing in a courtroom. Don't get me wrong, she can be a pit bull if you need her to be, but at least she gives you the choice. Most attorneys will prepare you as if you're going into hand-to-hand combat. Teresa formulates a plan that covers all the bases so issues are stamped out before they can happen, no combat needed. I didn't ask for the divorce, but I got everything I ask for in the divorce (actually more than I asked for). I recommend her to anyone that wants good representation in a courtroom.

Let's face it, no one looks forward to needing a Family Lawyer. But when I needed one, Teresa was the right fit. We discussed our needs up front, and Teresa provided sound advice and great representation. She also respected my need not to get caught up in minor squabbles with "opposing counsel" in order to keep costs down and get a relatively quick resolution. Teresa's service exceeded expectations, I couldn't recommend her more.

I had heard outstanding things about Teresa DeFord from a close friend. I had just been through a highly controversial divorce without adequate representation so I needed the best of the best. I was extremely impressed with her paralegal when I booked the consultation with Mrs DeFord She was extremely knowledgeable and encouraging and helpful however Due to COVID-19 I was booked a week out for a phone consult. Mr. Ford called promptly at the scheduled time but not only had very little input shedidn't ask very many questions. After mentioning my ex-husband had primarily taken all of the money the consulate sped up and i was rushed off the phone. Mrs Deford gave me an extremely false impression that she was going to call me back after reviewing my case. her computer was down so she could not pull up the decree so she had me send her all the information via email and said she would get back to me with in a few days. After four days had gone by I called received the answering machine so I left a message I waited a few more days without a return call and called again I spoke to the lovely paralegal and she assured me she pass on the message I've repeated this process more than three times and have still yet to receive any kind of Phone call email or word as to her professional opinion on which avenue I should proceed. I felt as though I had done something wrong or perhaps upset her by forwarding too much information. i was left feeling inadequate and like a failure, I'm still left wondering what hope I might have.

Do yourself a favor and spend the money on a worthy attorney. I was so overwhelmed during the whole divorce process and needed an attorney to cover all bases for me seeing as I was paying her to represent the best interests of my child and me. There are so many things she let slip through the cracks that are now working against me. She was great at first, seemed to really care. Then once she received my retainer fee, her communication and efforts seemed to dwindle down to 'who cares, I've been paid'. She would take days (once it was a week) to return emails and phone calls. I never received the requested itemized invoice showing how much of my retainer had been used (promised to me in the contract I signed) until it was quickly all gone, not much had been accomplished, and she was asking for more money. Then I felt like she pushed me into mediation so that she could make even more money off of me. I did more 'due diligence' and had more strategy than she ever came up with. I likely could have represented myself better and saved myself the small fortune I spent on her. I have spoken with divorced friends/co-workers who had much better representation and were appalled at the lack of representation I received.

Then I felt like she pushed me into mediation so that she could make even more money off of me. I did more 'due diligence' and had more strategy than she ever came up with. I likely could have represented myself better and saved myself the small fortune I spent on her. I have spoken with divorced friends/co-workers who had much better representation and were appalled at the lack of representation I received.

Teresa is extremely professional and knowledgeable. She provided just the representation I asked for in my divorce and needed, without fleecing me for unnecessary billables. Her representation was excellent and her fees fair.

Through my experience both lawyers at the DeFord Law Firm made me feel confident and comfortable. They went above and beyond on achieving my goals. I truly felt like they had not only my best interest in mind, but also my children and showed compassion throughout the whole process! I would recommend the DeFord Law Firm to anyone and everyone in the Houston area!

Teresa genuinely cared about me as a person during my divorce. She remained calm and professional, even when I was scared of what was happening. Would use again definitely, but hope I never have to!

Teresa did a great job of meeting my needs during the time of my divorce and child support enforcement. Her expertise and understanding helped to make difficult, time consuming legal matters manageable. I felt like I had a prized fighter on my side. She also was available with timely responses to my pressing questions.

I was referred to Teresa by a mutual friend and what a great experience I had. I was creating, for the first time in my life, a will to protect my family. Teresa was immensely knowledgeable, understanding and patient as I determined how best to take care of my-self and my family. Between my office and Teresa's office was quite a bit of distance, I am sure I passed the law offices of hundreds of attorneys. I wouldn't change a thing...the end result was exactly what I wanted and the entire experience was positive. Thank you, Teresa!

Teresa was a great help to me when I filed for divorce. She kept me up-to-date with the process, court information, and the next steps. Her guidance was very reassuring as I went through the divorce proceedings, and she put my mind at ease by answering any questions I asked. Her office is located in The Woodlands, which was very convenient for me, and her staff are equally helpful and responsive. I will recommend Teresa to anyone seeking to hire an attorney. Thank you, Teresa!

Some attorneys are pushy and start barking orders at you when a divorce is going down, and make the divorce way more stressful than it already is. Not Teresa. She guided, informed, and let me call the shots based on my situation. She formed a plan, and told me what she needed from me to get the desired results I wanted. She answered all my questions, and we were overly prepared for everything to go my way by the time we were standing in a courtroom. Don't get me wrong, she can be a pit bull if you need her to be, but at least she gives you the choice. Most attorneys will prepare you as if you're going into hand-to-hand combat. Teresa formulates a plan that covers all the bases so issues are stamped out before they can happen, no combat needed. I didn't ask for the divorce, but I got everything I ask for in the divorce (actually more than I asked for). I recommend her to anyone that wants good representation in a courtroom.

Let's face it, no one looks forward to needing a Family Lawyer. But when I needed one, Teresa was the right fit. We discussed our needs up front, and Teresa provided sound advice and great representation. She also respected my need not to get caught up in minor squabbles with "opposing counsel" in order to keep costs down and get a relatively quick resolution. Teresa's service exceeded expectations, I couldn't recommend her more.

I had heard outstanding things about Teresa DeFord from a close friend. I had just been through a highly controversial divorce without adequate representation so I needed the best of the best. I was extremely impressed with her paralegal when I booked the consultation with Mrs DeFord She was extremely knowledgeable and encouraging and helpful however Due to COVID-19 I was booked a week out for a phone consult. Mr. Ford called promptly at the scheduled time but not only had very little input shedidn't ask very many questions. After mentioning my ex-husband had primarily taken all of the money the consulate sped up and i was rushed off the phone. Mrs Deford gave me an extremely false impression that she was going to call me back after reviewing my case. her computer was down so she could not pull up the decree so she had me send her all the information via email and said she would get back to me with in a few days. After four days had gone by I called received the answering machine so I left a message I waited a few more days without a return call and called again I spoke to the lovely paralegal and she assured me she pass on the message I've repeated this process more than three times and have still yet to receive any kind of Phone call email or word as to her professional opinion on which avenue I should proceed. I felt as though I had done something wrong or perhaps upset her by forwarding too much information. i was left feeling inadequate and like a failure, I'm still left wondering what hope I might have.

Do yourself a favor and spend the money on a worthy attorney. I was so overwhelmed during the whole divorce process and needed an attorney to cover all bases for me seeing as I was paying her to represent the best interests of my child and me. There are so many things she let slip through the cracks that are now working against me. She was great at first, seemed to really care.

Do yourself a favor and spend the money on a worthy attorney. I was so overwhelmed during the whole divorce process and needed an attorney to cover all bases for me seeing as I was paying her to represent the best interests of my child and me. There are so many things she let slip through the cracks that are now working against me. She was great at first, seemed to really care. Then once she received my retainer fee, her communication and efforts seemed to dwindle down to 'who cares, I've been paid'. She would take days (once it was a week) to return emails and phone calls. I never received the requested itemized invoice showing how much of my retainer had been used (promised to me in the contract I signed) until it was quickly all gone, not much had been accomplished, and she was asking for more money. Then I felt like she pushed me into mediation so that she could make even more money off of me. I did more 'due diligence' and had more strategy than she ever came up with. I likely could have represented myself better and saved myself the small fortune I spent on her. I have spoken with divorced friends/co-workers who had much better representation and were appalled at the lack of representation I received.

Teresa is extremely professional and knowledgeable. She provided just the representation I asked for in my divorce and needed, without fleecing me for unnecessary billables. Her representation was excellent and her fees fair.

Through my experience both lawyers at the DeFord Law Firm made me feel confident and comfortable. They went above and beyond on achieving my goals. I truly felt like they had not only my best interest in mind, but also my children and showed compassion throughout the whole process! I would recommend the DeFord Law Firm to anyone and everyone in the Houston area!

Teresa genuinely cared about me as a person during my divorce. She remained calm and professional, even when I was scared of what was happening. Would use again definitely, but hope I never have to!

Teresa did a great job of meeting my needs during the time of my divorce and child support enforcement. Her expertise and understanding helped to make difficult, time consuming legal matters manageable. I felt like I had a prized fighter on my side. She also was available with timely responses to my pressing questions.

I was referred to Teresa by a mutual friend and what a great experience I had. I was creating, for the first time in my life, a will to protect my family. Teresa was immensely knowledgeable, understanding and patient as I determined how best to take care of my-self and my family. Between my office and Teresa's office was quite a bit of distance, I am sure I passed the law offices of hundreds of attorneys. I wouldn't change a thing...the end result was exactly what I wanted and the entire experience was positive. Thank you, Teresa!

Teresa was a great help to me when I filed for divorce. She kept me up-to-date with the process, court information, and the next steps. Her guidance was very reassuring as I went through the divorce proceedings, and she put my mind at ease by answering any questions I asked. Her office is located in The Woodlands, which was very convenient for me, and her staff are equally helpful and responsive. I will recommend Teresa to anyone seeking to hire an attorney. Thank you, Teresa!

Some attorneys are pushy and start barking orders at you when a divorce is going down, and make the divorce way more stressful than it already is. Not Teresa. She guided, informed, and let me call the shots based on my situation. She formed a plan, and told me what she needed from me to get the desired results I wanted. She answered all my questions, and we were overly prepared for everything to go my way by the time we were standing in a courtroom. Don't get me wrong, she can be a pit bull if you need her to be, but at least she gives you the choice. Most attorneys will prepare you as if you're going into hand-to-hand combat. Teresa formulates a plan that covers all the bases so issues are stamped out before they can happen, no combat needed. I didn't ask for the divorce, but I got everything I ask for in the divorce (actually more than I asked for). I recommend her to anyone that wants good representation in a courtroom.

Let's face it, no one looks forward to needing a Family Lawyer. But when I needed one, Teresa was the right fit. We discussed our needs up front, and Teresa provided sound advice and great representation. She also respected my need not to get caught up in minor squabbles with "opposing counsel" in order to keep costs down and get a relatively quick resolution. Teresa's service exceeded expectations, I couldn't recommend her more.

I had heard outstanding things about Teresa DeFord from a close friend. I had just been through a highly controversial divorce without adequate representation so I needed the best of the best. I was extremely impressed with her paralegal when I booked the consultation with Mrs DeFord She was extremely knowledgeable and encouraging and helpful however Due to COVID-19 I was booked a week out for a phone consult. Mr. Ford called promptly at the scheduled time but not only had very little input shedidn't ask very many questions. After mentioning my ex-husband had primarily taken all of the money the consulate sped up and i was rushed off the phone. Mrs Deford gave me an extremely false impression that she was going to call me back after reviewing my case. her computer was down so she could not pull up the decree so she had me send her all the information via email and said she would get back to me with in a few days.

After mentioning my ex-husband had primarily taken all of the money the consulate sped up and i was rushed off the phone. Mrs Deford gave me an extremely false impression that she was going to call me back after reviewing my case. her computer was down so she could not pull up the decree so she had me send her all the information via email and said she would get back to me with in a few days. After four days had gone by I called received the answering machine so I left a message I waited a few more days without a return call and called again I spoke to the lovely paralegal and she assured me she pass on the message I've repeated this process more than three times and have still yet to receive any kind of Phone call email or word as to her professional opinion on which avenue I should proceed. I felt as though I had done something wrong or perhaps upset her by forwarding too much information. i was left feeling inadequate and like a failure, I'm still left wondering what hope I might have.

Do yourself a favor and spend the money on a worthy attorney. I was so overwhelmed during the whole divorce process and needed an attorney to cover all bases for me seeing as I was paying her to represent the best interests of my child and me. There are so many things she let slip through the cracks that are now working against me. She was great at first, seemed to really care. Then once she received my retainer fee, her communication and efforts seemed to dwindle down to 'who cares, I've been paid'. She would take days (once it was a week) to return emails and phone calls. I never received the requested itemized invoice showing how much of my retainer had been used (promised to me in the contract I signed) until it was quickly all gone, not much had been accomplished, and she was asking for more money. Then I felt like she pushed me into mediation so that she could make even more money off of me. I did more 'due diligence' and had more strategy than she ever came up with. I likely could have represented myself better and saved myself the small fortune I spent on her. I have spoken with divorced friends/co-workers who had much better representation and were appalled at the lack of representation I received.

Teresa is extremely professional and knowledgeable. She provided just the representation I asked for in my divorce and needed, without fleecing me for unnecessary billables. Her representation was excellent and her fees fair.

Through my experience both lawyers at the DeFord Law Firm made me feel confident and comfortable. They went above and beyond on achieving my goals. I truly felt like they had not only my best interest in mind, but also my children and showed compassion throughout the whole process! I would recommend the DeFord Law Firm to anyone and everyone in the Houston area!

Teresa genuinely cared about me as a person during my divorce. She remained calm and professional, even when I was scared of what was happening. Would use again definitely, but hope I never have to!

Teresa did a great job of meeting my needs during the time of my divorce and child support enforcement. Her expertise and understanding helped to make difficult, time consuming legal matters manageable. I felt like I had a prized fighter on my side. She also was available with timely responses to my pressing questions.

I was referred to Teresa by a mutual friend and what a great experience I had. I was creating, for the first time in my life, a will to protect my family. Teresa was immensely knowledgeable, understanding and patient as I determined how best to take care of my-self and my family. Between my office and Teresa's office was quite a bit of distance, I am sure I passed the law offices of hundreds of attorneys. I wouldn't change a thing...the end result was exactly what I wanted and the entire experience was positive. Thank you, Teresa!

Teresa was a great help to me when I filed for divorce. She kept me up-to-date with the process, court information, and the next steps. Her guidance was very reassuring as I went through the divorce proceedings, and she put my mind at ease by answering any questions I asked. Her office is located in The Woodlands, which was very convenient for me, and her staff are equally helpful and responsive. I will recommend Teresa to anyone seeking to hire an attorney. Thank you, Teresa!

Some attorneys are pushy and start barking orders at you when a divorce is going down, and make the divorce way more stressful than it already is. Not Teresa. She guided, informed, and let me call the shots based on my situation. She formed a plan, and told me what she needed from me to get the desired results I wanted. She answered all my questions, and we were overly prepared for everything to go my way by the time we were standing in a courtroom. Don't get me wrong, she can be a pit bull if you need her to be, but at least she gives you the choice. Most attorneys will prepare you as if you're going into hand-to-hand combat. Teresa formulates a plan that covers all the bases so issues are stamped out before they can happen, no combat needed. I didn't ask for the divorce, but I got everything I ask for in the divorce (actually more than I asked for). I recommend her to anyone that wants good representation in a courtroom.

Let's face it, no one looks forward to needing a Family Lawyer. But when I needed one, Teresa was the right fit. We discussed our needs up front, and Teresa provided sound advice and great representation. She also respected my need not to get caught up in minor squabbles with "opposing counsel" in order to keep costs down and get a relatively quick resolution. Teresa's service exceeded expectations, I couldn't recommend her more.

I had heard outstanding things about Teresa DeFord from a close friend. I had just been through a highly controversial divorce without adequate representation so I needed the best of the best.
