Great attorney

I have used Terry for 4 different matters. The first was for my divorce, the second for help when the state intervened on some shady business my ex was pulling, the third for a modification and the last time for a municipal ticket. Terry did a great job speaking to me in normal language and not all... in attorney language. I felt like he took the time to get to know me as well as my needs and wants.

Litigation lawyer | Dec 23

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I endorse this lawyer. Terry is an exceptional attorney. On occasion, I am unable to represent clients that contact me, be it due to a conflict for some reason or a geographical limitation. When those occasions come along, I refer the client to Terry Garner if at all possible. Terry zealously advocates for all his clients and individuals I send his way regularly give glowing reviews of his assistance when thanking me for the referral."
