Mr. O Teeter was very kind and agreed to view my case and additional paperwork. He did not take my case due to jurisdiction issues. I do however recommend him to anyone else trying to find representation.

Kent K., CA (2025)

I hired James Teeter to represent my brother in a very urgent Divorce filing that needed immediate restitution. In record time (less than 1 month), we had a court order to facilitate control of the house. And also, in record time (less than 6 months), we were able to secure a final order on the divorce, which included no maintenance, and an approval for us to buy his house back at a fair market value. I’m very thankful for Jim’s patience, comprehension, thoroughness, and action plan to achieve our goals. Not only did he professionally represent us, but he also showed that he cared about us and the result. He understood the dilemma that my brother was in, and to this day, after the divorce has been finalized, has reached out repeatedly to make sure my brother is doing well, and taking advantage of some programs that he shared with us. I highly recommend James Teeter to all.

Christopher L., Rockford, IL (2025)

I definitely recommend to anyone, needing a divorce or child custody attorney.

Abena AG., Rockford, IL (2023)

Attorney Teeter deserves many more stars!!! He is a great Attorney! I had fired my previous attorney who did a really poor job with my case and a friend recommended Attorney Teeter for a consult.

Then in 2021, without hesitation, I called Attorney Jim Teeter Jr when my marriage just wasn’t going to work and again, he was extremely supportive and flexible with me because my marriage turned unsafe, and Jim was genuinely caring. I NEVER had an issue with not able to reach Jim he is easy to reach and flexible with your schedule.

Bette M., Janesville, WI (2018)

I started out with a different lawyer who in my opinion didn’t take the time to know or understand my case from the next. Ultimately I didn’t think he would use the law to obtain the best results for me. I switched to Mr. Teeter who responded to my questions in a very reasonable amount of time either by phone or via email. While Jim has no control over the decisions of the judge he made sure I got a fair deal. He took the time to explain the long-term and short-term effects of decisions that needed to be made. It turns out what I thought I wanted and what I really needed were two different things and Jim’s firm guidance helped me see past the emotional roller coaster and view the big picture. Ok sure, I did have to buy new pots and pans, but I also won custody of the dog!

Jon E., (2017)

This is the second time that I have had the pleasure of doing business with Rockford Family Law, and more specifically, Mr. James Teeter.

Jeffrey, Rockford, Illinois

My divorce began as a simple matter at first which Jim took great care to keep things simple and keep costs at a minimum. After I was divorced for a year or so, there arose a custody dispute. As a father, I was already facing a difficult battle for custody. Jim found many ways to ensure that my custody matters were handled in a way that kept the best interest of my son in mind. Jim knew how to approach the issues faced by fathers pursuing custody and did a great job keeping the case on track and focused on the best interest of my son. Jim is a very thorough attorney and takes the time to do things right the first time. Ultimately, I was awarded full custody. Thanks Jim!

Me and my daughter are extremely grateful to Attorney Teeter! My case was a tough one and many attorneys were hesitant because of the complexity of my situation. Attorney Teeter helped turn my situation around and before I knew it I was no longer struggling to see my daughter. He helped prove my case and what was truly in her best interest. I felt like I was his only client and that he was genuinely concerned about the outcome.

Brittany, Machesney Park, Illinois

Thank you for everything! It was a long road but thank you for keeping the kids a priority and making things as smooth as they could go! In the end, it worked out the best way it possibly could have.

Laura, Rockford, Illinois

Attorney James Teeter is very knowledgeable on what all the proper procedures are regarding family law. He works in your best interest at all times. I would recommend him to anyone going through a difficult time, such as a divorce. He lets you set your own pace, but he is completely realistic and honest with you.

Mike, Roscoe, Illinois

Jim, I am really glad I hired you as my attorney for my divorce case. As you know it was a tough case, but you stuck with me to the end. I feel you were always well prepared for court and listened to and followed my directions. You fought aggressively for my rights. I highly recommend Jim Teeter to anyone who is going through a divorce. You really treated me like a friend instead of just a client all the way through this. I appreciate everything you did for me.

My wife and I had been married many, many years. This could have been a contentious and costly case, but we wanted to keep it peaceful and amicable and that is exactly what Jim Teeter did. Jim respected my wishes and followed my directions. My ex-wife and I remain on good speaking terms. If you are looking for an attorney for an uncontested divorce, I highly recommend Jim Teeter. Thanks Jim,

I had a mess! Jim calmed me down. Took the time to tell me the short- and long-term goals. Let me know “It’s not as bad as I thought.” He was very kind, professional, friendly, a great listener, who pays strict attention to the details. I made a good choice hiring James Teeter, Jr. Thanks Jim,

I would highly recommend Jim Teeter if you are going through a divorce.

Ellie, Rockford, Illinois

I had a long-term marriage of many years. My husband and I wanted a simple, uncontested divorce. There were however important issues that needed to be addressed. Jim delicately and carefully helped me and my husband work through these issues and conclude our divorce in a decent manner that still protected my rights. Thanks for your guidance and advice.

Kym, Rockford, Illinois

Thanks for wrapping up my divorce. I wanted my divorce to go smoothly. Jim Teeter followed my directions and did what I asked him to do. I didn’t want to do all sorts of paperwork but wanted to keep the divorce simple.

Cletus, Rockford, Illinois

My daughter means the world to me. When my ex-wife decided to move across the country and take her from my life, I hired Jim Teeter. He kept in close communication with me, explained the law to me, and Jim fought hard for me and what was most dear to me. Thank you very much for all your hard work. Thanks to Jim my daughter and my relationship is much more secure, and we can keep building our close relationship. All the best.

Guy, South Beloit, Illinois

I was in a long-term marriage, but my wife and I wanted a simple peaceful resolution. I just needed an attorney to protect my rights and get the ball to the end line without upsetting our relationship or the deal my Wife and I agreed upon. Jim did a great job for me. He explained the law, corrected errors the other attorney put in the agreement and refined the agreement as we had agreed upon; but did not upset the “applecart” or our relationship. Jim followed my directions well. I got what was fair without a lot of arguing or wasted legal fees. I didn’t even have to go to Court. Jim took care of all that for me. Jim, thanks for following my directions and wishes. Jim did a good job and didn’t interfere with our agreement. Thanks again, Jim.

Janet, Beloit, Wisconsin

I knew my divorce wasn’t going to be an easy one. My husband had been married before and was pretty clever at protecting his interests. I would recommend Jim Teeter if you are going through a divorce for several reasons. Jim always responded to my questions and concerns promptly. He was very easy to reach by phone, email, or text. Jim took the time to explain my rights to me, and then fought for what I wanted. His assistant was also very warm and welcoming, and I appreciated him putting us at ease. Jim knew the law, how to negotiate and strategize to get the best deal he could for me. Jim also followed through with my case and honored his commitments to me. Jim thanks for getting me through the divorce and on with my life! Many thanks.

Jay, Rockford, Illinois

I have a spotless reputation and have never been in trouble. I was very upset and scared when I was served with a Stalking No Contact Order and I didn’t know what to do. The smartest thing I did was call Jim Teeter. Jim guided me through the process, explained the law, and relentlessly defended me and my reputation. I am so glad I hired Jim. He was respectful and spoke to me after hours and helped me tremendously. Jim, Thanks for being there for me. I highly recommend Jim Teeter. Thanks again, Jim.

Ray, Rockford, Illinois

I am really glad I picked Jim to be my attorney in my family law matter. Jim was there when I needed him. He carefully answered all of my questions, made himself available after hours to talk with me, and did nothing to inflame the situation. I would highly recommend Jim Teeter if you are faced with a divorce or other family law matter. Thanks, Jim, for a great job!

Kim, Roscoe, Illinois

This was my first marriage. It was a very emotional time for me. My husband made promises as far as how we would deal with the debts and dividing up the assets. When things started to shift and my husband’s attorney just wouldn’t be responsive, Jim came through for me. He got tough when I needed him to be tough, and on top of that Jim explained my rights carefully to me and then respected my decisions. Jim, Thanks for being there for me. You can count on Jim Teeter if you are going through a divorce! Thanks again, Jim.

Brad, Chicago

Thank you so much for your help in winning my son’s child custody case! We certainly could not have done it without your skill and expertise. We were very anxious and uncertain, and you were able to turn things around and turn this into a tremendously positive experience for both of us. Thanks Again!

Jim, Homestead, Florida

Francisco, Loves Park, Illinois

My divorce was not an easy one, but I am sure glad I picked Jim Teeter to be my attorney! Jim was there with me the whole way. Jim was there when unreasonable demands were made on me.

I highly recommend Jim Teeter to anyone faced with a divorce.

Joshua, Rockford, Illinois

Jim Teeter helped me through a sensitive family law matter. I found Jim through his website. I read the testimonials and hoped them to be true. I can tell you they were true. Jim listened to my needs, carefully explained the law to me, and then worked with me patiently to get the result I wanted. Jim billed me fairly and treated me well. I recommend Jim Teeter highly for anyone facing a family law issue.

Jermaine, Rockford, Illinois

I would highly recommend Jim Teeter for anyone contemplating a divorce. Mr. Teeter represented me in my divorce. Before I hired Mr. Teeter, matters were quite hostile. As soon as Mr. Teeter got involved, matters cooled down to an acceptable level and matters were resolved promptly.

Ronald, Rockford, Illinois

To Whom It May Concern: I am very thankful I hired Mr. Teeter as my Attorney in my divorce. When I was served with the divorce papers, I was very stressed and upset at what was being asked for. Mr. Teeter took the time to explain matters to me, and answered all of my calls promptly as the case went forward. I was sure I would be nervous in Court, but felt much more at ease with Mr. Teeter with me. I am happy with the results of my case, and would highly recommend Mr. Teeter to anyone going through a divorce.

Helen, Machesney Park, Illinois

I highly recommend Mr. Teeter to anyone facing a divorce. He took the time to educate me on how the custody terms of my divorce could affect my children and me for years following the divorce. He listened to my concerns and explained my options, and then argued and fought for the best deal he could get for me and my children. He was very responsive to my texts and calls, always responding promptly. Thanks, Jim, for all of your help!

Sandra, Rockford, Illinois

I am a mother of a young infant who means the world to me. I was in a state of shock and panic when served with divorce papers, and what that would mean for my child and me. I highly recommend Mr. Teeter to anyone facing a divorce. Mr. Teeter acted swiftly to protect my rights and the rights of my child. He listened to what my needs and concerns were and acted swiftly to protect us. Mr. Teeter was very accessible to me by texts, phone calls and even on the weekends. Thank you so much Jim.

Jeff, Rockford, Illinois

I am really glad I hired Jim Teeter to represent me in my divorce. To be honest I generally don’t like attorneys, but Jim was different. I actually like Jim and recommend him every chance I get. He treated me respectfully and aggressively fought for my rights. He was always very responsive to me and kept me well informed on the status of my case. There were several times that he made himself available to talk to me on weekends. Jim really helped me with the stress of my case and got me good results. Thanks for all you do Jim!

Jared, Loves Park, Illinois

I am really glad I picked Jim Teeter to be my attorney for my divorce. I was married for many years and had two children. Jim took the time to explain the law to me, and then argued effectively with the other attorney for my rights. I was treated fairly, and Jim was always responsive to my questions. Summing up my experience working with Jim as my attorney is that he treated me respectfully, fairly and left me with peace of mind following my divorce. Thanks, Jim, for a job well done!
