Terry Sutton is an amazing attorney with an amazing office staff. He truly cares. He helped my mom with a Child Support problem with my sister's father. I am so thankful for him. He really helped my mom tell my sister's father with good evidence about how much he owes her in child support. I am sure that if she ever goes to court she will come back to him. If I ever have any problems here in Arizona I will definitely always come to him and his other attorneys. They truly are amazing.

Mr. Terry Sutton provided my son with expert legal care. I am out of state and he and his staff assisted me with a support plan for my son.
