Terrie offers both real estate transaction and litigation services. That's really rare to find; usually a lawyer only offers one service or the other. Because of Terrie's expertise, I knew I was getting topnotch advice when I spoke with her. She is very responsive and honest. I can tell she genuinely cares about her clients' well-being. read more

I called Terrie to ask for help with a severance agreement. She didnt read the document but was helpful in telling me what to look out for, and watch outs in the legalese. She also told me what areas I could look to negotiate, and which ones were generous, from the employer's perspective. She gave me her rate and told me if I would want to run the document by her she was happy to help but that was the most information I would need. I would definitely recommend her read more

I came to Yelp looking for someone to help me with some concerns I had with a Separation Agreement. As you can imagine, I was stressed, anxious and just all around in a bit of chaos. I called a few people that first day, and not only was Terrie one of the 2 that called me back. But she was the only one that really listened to me, and made me like she completely had my back and wasn't just a paycheck for her. Not only was her approach amazing, but she was always available to chat with me, keep me positive and be really honest with me. And the crazy thing is that I never actually met her in person, but I felt completely supported and as if I gained a new friend! I recommend her whole-heartedly and I will definitely be working with her in the future. read more

In OCt. 2017, Terrie assisted me with a work related issue that began in 2015. She is very knowledgeable, and immediately able to see that I was wronged.She knew that I had a strong case after I was told otherwise by other attorneys. and I was also told otherwise, from my employer, after formally complaining to them. Terry was able to negotiate a win / win settlement, which was client focused, for me where I kept my position and the employer was put on notice. I would absolutely utilize the services of Terrie L. CULVER in the future, for as many, opportunities that may arise in the future. read more

Terrie helped us navigate the difficult process of the short sale of our home. With multiple problems, roadblocks, lender push back and the like, Terrie dealt with every problem that came our way and resolved every issue resulting in a closed short sale. She is tenacious and won't give up! As she said to me "I hate to lose". Judging by all of the issues we had to overcome to get this done (they seemed insurmountable to me), I'm guessing she doesn't lose very often. We are so happy we found her. Se is truly awesome.Highly recommended! read more

Terrie Culver assisted us in the purchase of our first home. She was very responsive and super reliable. Throughout the whole process she put our interests first. We were very impressed! read more

I found Terrie on Yelp when looking for a lawyer to help me with the sale of my condo. My previous lawyer was no longer in real estate law and I was at a loss as to who I wanted to represent me. I am so glad I found and reached out to Terrie. She took the time to explain the entire seller side to me (it was my first time selling) and make sure I understood everything that was to happen. Terrie's hard work and great communication with both the buyer and me made the whole process so easy I retained her for the purchase and of my new home. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell within the city of Chicago or outside of it. read more

I used Terrie to handle a VERY challenging, stressful and complex real estate matter, after my other lawyer became unresponsive. She worked with me through the grueling process for nearly 9 months.

She is a rare find in the legal community. read more

I had a great experience working with Terrie as a realtor. I referred 3 attorneys to my client and they ended up picking Terrie due to her willingness to explain the process, anticipate issues, and never "short change" the client in terms of her time. Very responsive and came personally to the closing. I will be recommending her to future clients as well as plan to use her myself whenever I do my own personal deals. Highly recommend. read more

I highly encourage anyone looking for an attorney to hire Terrie! read more

I did not do business with Ms. Culver. However, her website says that you should feel free to contact her and begin a consultation. I sent a detailed account of my traffic incident. She never told me my options she requested a legible copy of my ticket. She never replied with a friendly hello, good morning and explained why she needed that information. Then two days later she called me and left a message. I really didn't think I should call her back because she didn't seem interested or perhaps just too busy. I decided to call anyway thinking that maybe she might actually have time to give me a consultation. Instead, the only words she said was, (still no Hello, or any pleasantries) "My firm would be able to help you but it would be for $500.00." She knew that it wasn't worth that for a traffic violation. I told her I wasn't interested. She may be a straight to the point type of person which is fine and could be very helpful if you are being accused of doing something serious. It just depends on what's important to you. Excellent customer service is a number one for me. read more

Don't waste your time with dilatantes - sign on with a real professional! read more

Terrie is the second real estate lawyer I have had a chance to work with. My previous lawyer was sloppy and managed my real estate transactions more like an assembly line worker ... which is to say, not very well. So, when I started looking for an investment property, I wanted to try a new lawyer who would pay more attention to detail and ensure that all my liabilities are properly managed. Aside from the positive yelp reviews, what attracted me to Terrie was that I would be working directly with her instead of a secretary or associate. I had interviewed other lawyers who were eager to talk to me to sign me up as a new client but also reluctantly divulged that they may not be personally working on my file themselves (lawyer speak for ... no). The only downside I saw with her was that I would still be paying her a fraction of her fee if a deal fell through whereas some of her competition waves their fee (especially true in cases where a secretary was going to do all the work). However, it seemed fair to me since she would be putting her time and effort into every deal from the very beginning. 3 deals that I backed out of later, I was finally able to close on a new investment property on the 4th try. During the entire process, I was very happy with the personal engagement I was getting from Terrie and I got the impression that she actually read all the legal documents that came her way from the seller. Even after the deal was completed, Terrie made herself available to answer more questions and to help me with a few legal matters that needed to be documented in writing. I know that for any future real estate deal on the buyer or seller side and for any legal advice I need related to tenants, I will be working with Terrie. Small piece of advice to anyone in the midst of making an offer, have Terrie review your deal before the final signature goes out. Also don't hesitate to ask her about recommendations for people to hire (inspectors, loan officers, etc.) read more

My husband and I are in the process of purchasing our first piece of property, and Terrie has been an invaluable resource along the way. We initially were attempting to negotiate a short sale, and Terrie was with us every step of the way - she was incredibly honest and forthright in her suggestions and recommendations, as well as best and worst case scenarios regarding different parts of our contracts. She also emailed the sellers' lenders multiple times per week to check the status of the short sale. Although the short sale itself ended up being kind of shady and we decided not to pursue it further, working with Terrie was an incredibly positive experience. Now we're in the process of (hopefully) closing on a regular purchase, and Terrie will be our lawyer through that. I'd recommend her to anyone in need of legal assistance in any way! read more
