As the owner of Telios Law PLLC, Theresa Lynn Sidebotham serves ministries, churches, and businesses. The word "telios" defines successful results in terms of being complete, whole, or mature. Excellent legal work is important, but wasted unless it makes your ministry, business, or personal life more whole and helps achieve your vision more perfectly. Another way to put it is that Telios Law has the vision to build the Kingdom of God through legal services.For a ministry, legal solutions should fit its spiritual vision and practice. God calls ministries to reflect Christ in their practices and culture. Theresa regularly helps missions and ministries update their child protection policies, conduct investigations, and respond appropriately to allegations.She also advises on legal and policy issues, coordinates legal audits, and defends ministries in litigation. Theresa handles important constitutional issues, such as First Amendment free exercise, religious liberties, church autonomy, and similar doctrines. In business conflicts, including litigation, Theresa seeks to resolve disputes and bring peace without unnecessary cost in financial and human resources. If legal action is the right option, she considers with the client how it serves overall business needs and goals. Since law is also a business and Christian attorneys have a calling, Theresa enjoys thinking about how she can "practice what she preaches" in living well and running a business well. Note: this may be attorney advertising, though no one is really certain.
