I was totally mislead

I contacted Jill for a support arrears case. Jill had stated that she worked for Cayuga county support for years, I thought I would be okay. She had told me that support court is a court of equity and then tried to solicit a $4,000 retainer, I paused as she seemed shady. Then she started contact...ing me at 1:00 and 2:00 a.m. with statements to the like that she will contact me anytime that she wants and that I would be lucky if she contacted me within 2 weeks if I had left a message. This all happened out of the blue, I did not try to contact her after hours. By New York state law support court is not a court of equity, working for a Cayuga county support for so long she had to have known this and was just looking for my retainer. I would never hire her and I have contacted the New York State bar association about her deception.

Family court

I hired Jill for a family court case. She was extremely professional and hard working. It was evident she cares about her clients cases by the way she remembers the details of the case. She shows up prepared at court and did a great job as my representation. I would definitely reccomend her services....

Mrs. Terry is an amazing lawyer

I had many old outstanding tickets. Mrs Jill Terry worked wonders for me. She worked hard at staying the DA to prove I was working hard to make right by many old mistakes. She got many tickets drop in a short time. She's an amazing lawyer!!

A Lawyer

I have to say she is the best lawyer I have ever worked with and I have worked with more than a few over the years. You don't have to take my word for it. You just have to watch her work. If she looses a case than there isn't a lawyer in the association that could win it. My case was across state lin...e. She new how to handle herself and she push and won the case. From my point of view it was a beautiful thing to watch. I didn't say a thing. th judge on the other end of the conversation wondered if I was even there that was how good she was.

  • 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.
