Jill Terry

Jill Terry always showed concern for the best interest of our children. She was sweet to them as well as us all the time. Jill would always return every call and answer any of our questions and concerns. She listened and gave us advice. Jill is an amazing Lawyer and Person. I'd recommend her to every...body. Thank you Jill for helping our family through such a rough time. We greatly appreciate it.

Terrible experience

The most polite review I can give is she is the worst public offender I have seen. She didn't look up any of the questions I asked about my case my phone calls were never returned she did a very poor job of coming to see me when she said she was going to. She offered me no deals, worked out no deals ...for me. She didn't discuss my case with me until the night before I had court. All in all it was a terrible experience that I believe could have ended with better results if she took the time to look into my case.

Responsive, compassionate

I hired Jill for a child support matter. She has been very personable, warm and supportive. Her legal advice has been sound and thorough. I've felt very comfortable and confident since hiring her.

Will not let you down

Jill is thorough, resourceful and kind. Has your best interest always. No matter what hurdle she is given, she gets the job done. Jill is my lawyer as I am selling my home. We have encountered problems along the way as it is the family homestead I am selling. She gets to the bottom of everything and ...gets the job done. I would highly recommend her as your attorney. She stays with you right to the end. She is very dedicated to her clients.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
