About Terry
Biography
I am an Attorney specializing in the White Collar Criminal Defense and Government Investigations. I focus my practice defending individuals, corporate executives and board members, and government officials who have been charged with or who are under investigation for white collar criminal offenses in federal and state courts. My practice includes handling a variety of high profile federal criminal cases including campaign finance violations, health care and securities fraud, cyber/internet related crimes, bribery, money laundering, Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) cases, and congressional and executive branch agency investigations.
I am a seasoned and experienced criminal trial attorney. I have tried more than 36 criminal cases including 24 jury trials in both federal and state courts. Prior to criminal defense work, I served with distinction for almost six years as an Assistant United States Attorney in Washington, DC.
