About Denise
Biography
Morristown Personal Injury Attorney
Attorney Denise Terry has a passion for justice and serving others that was instilled in her from a very young age. As a small child she would go to her Father, Charles Terry’s Law office on Saturday mornings and listen as he worked and met with his clients. Thus, her love affair with the law began.
Denise worked with her Father, Charles Terry since June 1982 and continued working with him until his death in May 2009. During their 28 year partnership they tried hundreds of jury trials, both civil and criminal, and assisted thousands of people in the Lakeway Area who had been seriously injured or wrongly accused. Charlie Terry always told his daughter that we “…proudly represent the man behind the plow…” Denise enjoys every day that she has the opportunity to assist the people of this community.
Realizing her moral obligation to give to the community that she loves, she has been a dedicated community servant. She served as The President of Morristown Area Chamber of Commerce, as a board member for various community organization and volunteer positions at her church.
She is honored to serve as a Director of The Andrew Johnson Bank.
