Biography

"Telios" means "complete, perfect, or whole," and it is related to the word for finishing or completing. "Telios" defines successful results in terms of being complete, whole, or mature.

Excellent legal work is important, but wasted unless it makes your business, personal life, or ministry more whole and helps you achieve your vision more perfectly. Legal services are expensive and legal conflict has high costs financially and otherwise. Telios Law helps you consider whether legal solutions help bring completeness in your business, ministry, or personal life and which legal solutions are likely to reach your desired end.

Telios Law serves businesses, individuals, ministries, and churches, representing them in litigation, appeals, and alternatives to litigation, as well as giving legal advice on a variety of issues. Preventive planning or negotiating can often avoid lawsuits. And if you are going to be in a legal proceeding, you should have excellent legal support.
