This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

As a screenwriter with multiple screenplays being reviewed by industry professionals, I needed counsel with contracts..

Terri Daugherty has provided me with excellent consultation r/t disclosure agreements and contracts associated with producers in the film industry. She is courteous, knowledgeable in the legal field, professional, gives sound advice, and is always friendly. I would not hesitate to consult with h...er again in these matters. If I ever find myself in a real jam, I know where to turn.

Personal injury lawyer | Feb 15

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Terri is a lawyer I would trust with my case. She connects with a jury very well and is very compelling in action. Don't let her quiet demeanor fool you, she is aggressive when she needs to be. She knows how to get the job done. Even though my side prevailed, she was not a sore loser. She remained professional and congratulated me. I would try a case with her any day, because she plays by the rules and is strong in court. No this is not a paid endorsement. We really tried against each other in Cobb County in 2017."

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.
