Very Knowledgeable Trucking Attorney

He’s a great lawyer. He very upfront and honest. He’s very knowledgeable about the trucking industry and was able to get my over axle overweight ticket dismissed in Joliet, IL. I would definitely recommend him and wouldn’t hesitate to hire him again to represent me in court.

100% recommend Terry

Terry was very helpful throughout the entire process of my case. I appreciate what he did and will definitely be calling him again. Not only did my charges get dropped, my conviction was also removed. Very easy and simple for such a stupid mistake I made.

Speeding Ticket

Terry Wallace was highly recommended from a family member and is by far the best lawyer i have ever used. After getting a speeding ticket for reckless driving i can’t express how worried I was about what consequences I would receive for my actions. Though, luckily for a good lawyer like Wallace, he h...andled the case with great professionalism getting me out of any consequences. Would highly recommend. Thank you Wallace!

If I could give 10 stars, I would

Terry Wallace is an absolute master of criminal law. I have had several traffic tickets over the years, but Terry handled everything with confidence, precision, and results that exceeded my expectations. He turned a stressful situation into something manageable — and dare I say, even easy. Perfection... is the only word that comes close. Terry’s communication was clear, his strategy was sharp, and his presence in the courtroom was commanding. If I were ever arrested and had one phone call to make, I’d call Terry twice — just to be sure. He’s that good. I’ve met other criminal attorneys, but none even come close to Terry Wallace. He is, by miles, the best in the game. Professional, trustworthy, and relentless in getting the best outcome. If you need a criminal defense attorney, do yourself a favor and call Terry. You won’t regret it.
