Terrance Robert Deangelo

Terry DeAngelo is a Pennsylvania trial attorney, registered nurse and decorated United States Air Force veteran. His practice focuses on serious medical malpractice, birth injury, diagnostic-error, catastrophic-injury and wrongful-death cases for patients and families in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and throughout Pennsylvania.

Terry earned his Bachelor of Science in Nursing, cum laude, from La Salle University. He was commissioned in the Air Force in 2010 and served on active duty as a clinical nurse until 2014, including service in Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom with the Combined Joint Special Operations Task Force–Afghanistan. He then earned his law degree from Temple University Beasley School of Law and was admitted to practice in Pennsylvania in 2019. He remains a licensed registered nurse in Pennsylvania.

That clinical background shapes how he evaluates a case. Rather than treating the medical record as a stack of documents, Terry reconstructs the clinical story: what the patient was experiencing, what the record showed, what information the medical team had, and when a different response may have changed the outcome. That work identifies the questions appropriately qualified medical experts need to answer.

TR DeAngelo Law is a boutique firm by choice. It takes on a small number of serious cases so that each family gets real time and attention, and clients work directly with Terry from the first conversation to the end of the case. Medical malpractice matters are handled on a contingency-fee basis, with no attorney fee or case expenses unless there is a recovery.

Super Lawyers has selected Terry to its Pennsylvania Rising Stars list for 2022–2026.
