Get to know  Teri L. St.Hilaire

​

 

I have been both National and Florida State Certified as a Professional Legal Guardian since June 1, 2000.

​

To maintain my certification as a guardian I am required to maintain state approved Continuing Legal Education courses and obtain a minimum number of hours.

​

My ability to interface with the legal system comes from many years of dealing with many Probate attorneys throughout Pinellas, Hillsborough, and Pasco Counties. 

​

I believe that competent advocacy is far more important than trying to "fix" or change another's life. As a guardian I am adamant about an individual's right to dignity and self-determination in the least-restrictive setting possible. Each guardianship is a unique partnership between myself and my client, and each partnership presents new challenges. Therefore, I have linked myself to a carefully selected network of legal, financial, medical, and personal care advisors who round out my knowledge and skills on behalf of the people I serve.
