Ethical.

Never returned my phone call for initial consultation.

Theresa was very professional and honest as to what to expect during my custody case. She let me know the good and the bad of what could happen, verses just telling me what I wanted to hear.
Theresa or Amanda were always available to answer any questions, or address any concerns I had about the process. They are as personable as they are professional and made me feel at ease the entire way. I couldnt have gotten a better law firm to represent me and fight for my daughter and will always use the Fout law firm in the future.
I have recommended Theresa to everyone who asks me for attorney. And I highly recommend you reach out to her also.

My entire experience with Teresa was amazing and positive. As a man going through a court process involving children you automatically expect things to not go in your favor. Teresa made me feel very comfortable and confident. She was very thorough in her investigation and with communication with myself, the court and all parties involved. When she was not available Amanda was there to help in anyway she could.

Fout Law was very professional, answered all voicemails, emails and questions in a timely manner. They fought hard for me and I always felt they had my and my child's best interest in mind. Teresa has earned my trust and respect and I will forever be thankful for her representing me in my case. I highly recommend Fout Law to any and everyone needing legal help in her area of practice.

She was very nice and friendly. i could not ask for more. She was always there when i had a question and was able to explain things that was easy to understand. She helped me in a tough time when i was in a custody battle for my daugther . I could not have asked for more from her.

Both Teresa and Amanda are highly professional. They always work in the best interest of the client. Even though my case took a lot of time, through no fault of my own or Fout Law, they have never become impatient or let my case “fall through the cracks”.

I will continue to use Fout Law for ALL my legal needs!

FANTASTIC !!!! Teresa and Amanda were so helpful throughout every step of our adoption. They were great and answering all our question and giving you the step by step that helps you understand the court system, they respond to email and calls very quickly. They are 110% prepared for every situation. Most of all they are 100% honest with you, even know sometime its not what you want to hear but they were honest. In the long run no mater if we would have won or lost we knew they tired their HARDEST !! They did win our case and we couldn't be happier. We would recommend them to everyone.

I had a great experience with Teresa - I would highly recommend her! I found her to be be very helpful through a complicated process. She provided excellent insight for me and helped me navigate custody proceedings. Teresa and her team were always very professional, easy to contact when I had questions and did a great job of keeping my informed over 10 months of proceedings. Her experience, knowledge, professionalism and commitment to open communication make her an outstanding attorney. 5 stars!

Im a father and I've had a very good experience using attorney fout with child custody and support..Her secretary Amanda was also amazing helping me with paper work off the clock and on her own time to get everything ready.mrs Fout does care about the children in our case.we were fortunate and had very good guardian adelitem.im very blessed to be residential parent of 2 wonderful children.in my case the mother was behind in child support and Mrs Fout always had time to listen to all my questions and concerns.it was always what's best for the children and i.will always recommend her to my family and friends.

I hired Ms. Fout to represent me in a divorce/dissolution and she was compassionate and followed through during initial procedures. However, when I submitted to her a proposed separation agreement with common language as used in the local court she objected and instead demanded to write her own separation agreement "because that's what I do". Her form was generic and insufficient for the complexities of my case; my agreement was jointly agreed to by my spouse and was signed and notarized by both parties; subsequently it was not objected to in court. In the courtroom she failed to represent my interest and instead seemed biased towards my wife who chose to not have representation. She billed for all work at her personal rate of $210-$230/hr instead of her paralegal's rate at $95/hr when much of the routine correspondence was done through her paralegal. She quit after the first hearing, withdrawing from representation once I objected to her billing strategy that opposed her contractual terms. She then subsequently continued to bill for her time spent in withdrawing from the case, her withdrawing being her own request, not mine. This is highly unprofessional conduct. She was a weak player in the courtroom, lacks integrity in accounting, and would not be recommended for challenging cases.

I have nothing but good things to say about Teresa Fout! Her paralegal is great too! From the initial meeting at my consultation to the final court date, I always felt like I was in good hands. I had a custody issue over my daughters and got exactly what I wanted. She is extremely knowledgeable about the entire process and was great at explaining to me how everything would work. She always kept me in the loop and communicated with me about any changes or new information. I’ve had a couple experiences with lawyers in the past where I felt like I had to initiate contact with them and keep checking up on how things were going. This wasn’t the case with Teresa. It made me feel comfortable and helped relieve my stress, that someone would obviously have when fighting for custody of their kids. She fought for what I wanted and let me know what my options were and what was realistic and what wasn’t. If you’re in need of an attorney for any custody issues I would definitely recommend!

Terrible experience. Way overpriced and treated the victim of abuse with zero empathy.

Helped the other party more, charges for work she doesn't do. Uses her personal opinion to decide what she will or will not fight for

I can't say enough positive things about my experience with Teresa. She is professional, thorough, thoughtful, and caring. She was able to describe the entire process in layman's terms for me and she explained all available options every step of the way. When I had questions, I would get timely responses by phone or email every time. She exceeded my expectations and I'd highly recommend her to any friends or family members in need of a lawyer.

I have had a great experience. Friendly staff and a very professional approach. They make you feel welcome even when dealing with difficult situations. I recommend using this firm.
