Theodore
Rechel

“Ted is a very dedicated attorney who always puts the best interests of the children first. He works hard to protect both the parent’s rights and the well-being of the kids. He is well prepared, clear in his strategy, and stands firm when it matters most. Ted does not back down when children’s futures are at stake and fights to get the best possible outcome. If you want a lawyer who will fight for your kids like they are his own, Ted is the right choice. Patti, his paralegal, is also very helpful, professional, and responsive. Thank you, Patti, for making communication easier and always being alert and ready to help.”

“I chose Ted Rechel to handle my divorce because I knew the case had a high potential to become high-conflict and expensive. It needed to be handled firmly and strategically. Ted adapted perfectly to my hands-on style. He took firm control of the process and helped us reach a comprehensive Marital Settlement Agreement. The only hearing we needed was over in under five minutes. Judge Berlin was positively gleeful as he praised the MSA, calling it the most comprehensive he had ever seen and noting that it was a very complicated settlement that clearly required a lawyer. He contrasted it with the many cases that drag on for years, cost both sides over $100K, and still end up on appeal. He even added that while losing money is bad, losing your soul is far worse. I truly appreciate how smoothly everything went. Ted’s strategic guidance and excellent rapport with opposing counsel were outstanding. His paralegal, Patti, was fantastic — always making sure every filing was done correctly and on time, and keeping Ted fully looped in during critical moments. I highly recommend Ted and his entire team. If you want a divorce handled efficiently and professionally, Ted is the attorney you want.”

“I found Ted through Avvo and during my first in-person consultation I knew he was the right attorney to represent me through my divorce. I retained Ted right away after my previous lawyer had turned out to be incapable of handling the complexity of my case. My divorce was after the 23 years of marriage, with the two minor children and involved the domestic violence allegations, multiple injunctions and finacial manipulation - all in the attempt to weaken my negotiation position, alienate me from the children and take the finacial advantage of the situation. Ted immediately laid out a smart strategy and action plan on how to lead my case to a positive closure. Step by step, I was regaining the ground under my feet, first trough cancelling the validity of the injunctions imposed on me, then through recovering the contact with my children, then reaching a parental plan agreement, and finally signing a marital settlement agreement with the very favorable final terms. The whole process, despite its complexity, took only under one year, which is very rare, considering how multi-layered it was. I cannot thank Ted enough for his patient guidance, relentless support, responsiveness, intelligence and confidence. All of this with a great sense of humor and a smile on his face. Also, Ted’s team was always available for me and ready to help either with drafting and filing important documents or just simply having a listening ear for me when I needed it. Thank you Patti, Denise, Janice and Debra! I would highly recommend Ted’s services to anybody who looks for a solid, reliable and well-thought-through legal representation in the family law matters! Time and money well invested!”

“I was referred to Tedd by my father, who worked with him during his divorce from my mother in the early 2000s. Back then, my mother had to hire two attorneys just to keep up with Tedd’s expertise and determination. That experience always stuck with me, and when it came time for my own divorce, I knew Tedd would be my secret weapon. From day one, Tedd was straightforward, confident, and focused on results. He doesn’t sugarcoat things or waste time—he gets right to the point and stands his ground. I was extremely nervous leading up to my deposition, but thanks to Tedd’s preparation and strategy, I wasn’t even questioned during my portion. The opposing party ended up settling, which speaks volumes about his skill and presence. Tedd is sharp, cutthroat when necessary, and efficient. Despite how emotionally draining divorce can be, he kept things professional, even light at times, and never bled me dry financially. He made sure I received the assets I was entitled to and effectively exposed the unfair distribution the other side tried to present. He also helped with custody matters, ensuring the opposing party knew I wasn’t there to play games. I can’t say enough about his team as well. Deniese from the financial side is incredibly patient, detailed, and knowledgeable, and Heidi, his paralegal, is just as fantastic—responsive, organized, and reassuring throughout the process. Whether your case is simple or complex, this is the team you want on your side. They make the process look easy, and if you’re a “problem child” client like my father once was, you’ll still get top-tier results—with a bit of humor along the way. I highly recommend Tedd and his entire team. They deliver results, protect your interests, and make one of life’s hardest experiences far more manageable.”

“Ted and his team are exceptional in family law. Their knowledge, communication skills and dedication to my case went beyond my expectations. I can't thank his paralegal (Sarah) enough for her kindness and patience anytime I needed her. Thank you for everything you all did.”
