"Very responsive and knowledgeable. It was a pleasure working with you. Thanks!"
"Teri proved to be an invaluable and trusted tactical and strategic advisor in defending the Bank in federal and state court, with a savvy sense of what jury pools looked like in the region, as well as proceedings before arbitral panels. The Bank and I were especially impressed by her vigorous and thoughtful advocacy of the Bank’s interests in pitched trial court litigation matters, both pre-trial and at the dispositive motion stage of proceedings. And finally, I had the opportunity to join her when we appeared on behalf of the Bank in a very high-risk mediation originating Oklahoma, which had “migrated” to New York where the former employee pursued a FINRA arbitration claim against Merrill Lynch. In addition to her strengths as an employment litigator, Teri is, for lack of a better way of phrasing it, a truly interesting person, well worth getting to know. I cannot endorse her with any greater enthusiasm."
"Teri did everything for us from representing the Hospital in several discrimination lawsuits, to helping us negotiate with the DOJ, to drafting policies and procedures, to conducting training. We considered her to be a part of our legal team."
