This was a long arduous affair. Ms. Brieske helped guide me through the rough as well as not so rough spots. She was always professional and extremely supportive. I hope to never need her services again, but would refer anyone to her that find themselves in this unfortunate situation.

Terri was my attorney during divorce proceedings as well as post divorce issues. Terri was fantastic in making my two young children very comfortable and protected during contentious proceedings and post decree issues. She is highly knowledgeable in all facets of the law as well as meticulous with the fine details.

I was particularly in a contentious divorce and Terri Brieske was always there for me with excellent fund of knowledge and and the highest level of competency and ethics in a field not always known for such. As a man, it is difficult to get a fair shake in domestic legal maters as the court system seems to disfavor men and men's rights. Terri Brieske was always a zealous and loyal advocate for myself and my children.

Terri was my divorce attorney when I went through my divorce years ago. It was a lengthy divorce that was extremely difficult and emotional. Terri was able to help me navigate through the process, while maintaining her professionalism. She made sure that my interests were protected, and that we handled the divorce with common sense (and not emotions!). She cared about my children's well-being and that they were protected in the process. She responds in a timely manner, and is always accessible whenever I needed her. Terri is a wonderful attorney, and a great human being!

Terri successfully procured several years of back child support, along with attorneys fees, for me. She is terrific at handling the details and is very professional. She also has a lovely sense of humor and an ability to lighten an otherwise stressful situation. I highly recommend Terri if you are going through any family related legal issues.
