Mr. TeSelle believes that trial lawyers are critical to preserving the vibrant marketplace that makes our country exceptional. Only trial lawyers can ensure that the good businesses, good builders, good bankers, good investment advisors, and good insurers succeed-and thrive–by bringing the bad actors to justice, to ensure that the system is fair and just for all.

Mr. TeSelle serves a wide range of clients and prides himself on hard work, professionalism, and an unrelenting focus on serving his clients, striving to meet the client’s goals and objectives in a cost-effective manner. Mr. TeSelle demands only “A-plus” work product from his team on all aspects of legal representation. One size does not fit all in high-stakes commercial and construction defect litigation disputes. Mr. TeSelle is always working to find creative and effective ways to achieve success for his clients. Mr. TeSelle never forgets that the ultimate goal is to fight hard to win justice for his clients and to do so as ethically, effectively, and economically as possible.
