Terry O'Malley

Our family is forever grateful to Mr. O'Malley! It brings me to tears when I write this thanking him for his countless hours mentoring our family, our young child, explaining things in a way that were very easy to understand. His character of integrity, respect, poise is uncommon in the industry and... the advise that he gave our family went far beyond legal-it guiding in direction that always revealed the RIGHT thing to do and our case was settled in the absolute best way it could have been and without his expertise, understanding, knowledge and ability to negotiate, our oucome could have been significantly different. Our lives will forever be changed by our interaction with Mr. O'Malley and we have grown as a family and individually insurmountably. Thank you for all that you did and continue to do!

Terry did an excellent job. He was able to get me released from a horrific prison experience reversing a bad situation. He helped get me through the complex court system that can be very intimidating for an average citizen who had never been involved with the legal system. Terry worked with the DA an...d was able to negotiate my case to a favorable outcome. The case took approximately a year. Terry kept me informed on the status, what to expect at each stage, and helped prepare me for what I was facing. It was a daunting experience that I couldn’t have gone through without the help of an attorney like Terry. I would highly recommend Terry O’malley.

Terry is an excellent, intelligent, very experienced attorney who really cares about his clients. Originally I hired an attorney who told me I had less than 10% chance of winning my case. I ended up letting him go and went with Terry based on a referral by my father in law. I spoke with Terry a...nd he told me my case would be difficult, but that he thought he could win the case. After I hired Terry, I noted that he seemed to know all the players. He knew most of the Jefferson County Prosecutors and Judges and seemed to have an excellent working relationship with each. He knew their mannerisms, their personalities and most importantly, he knew their legal tactics. He could often predict what they would do or say. This made it easier for Terry to negotiate critical issues. Terry picked up my case 3 weeks before trial. At first he was reluctant to take it due to the difficulty and the short time before trial. However, he saw that I was innocent and promised to work very hard to win the case. I found his promise was minimal compared to his actual effort. I know he stayed up very late most every night in preparation for my trial. I even became slightly concerned for his health in this regard. After seeing this gentleman work, I can honestly say, I have never seen a harder working person. In the end, the case was won after 2 weeks of trial. The 12 jurors were all in my favor, they even came up and shook my hand. Terry is an exceptional attorney, a workaholic and a good friend. I owe you my life and my kids owe you their father. I wish there was more I could do for you Terry.

I am free today because of Terry O'Malley's representation of me in my defense. I am a wife and mother who was falsely accused by a teen girl I mentored, and was charged with “Sex Assault on a Child” by the DA. Needless to say, the stakes were very high, as I faced a minimum of ten years to a maxi...mum of life in prison. Terry is an expert in his field who educated me on the law, preparing me for what I was about to face, every step of the way. Terry fought hard for me to prove my innocence. He worked nights and weekends in my defense. He handled the last minute “stunts” the DA attempted to pull, causing Terry to stay late in the office to meet deadlines. Originally, I hired a more costly and less qualified attorney, who did not put forth the knowledge and energy my case required. So, I hired Terry who charged me far less money for the job. He put in an incomparable amount of knowledge and effort to fight and win my case! I would recommend Terry to anyone who needs an advocate in the fight for their life. In fact, I have recommended him to others who have come to me for his contact information. He has proved to be trustworthy and extremely proficient above any criminal defense lawyer in this county. Even the Judge complimented Terry on his expert knowledge and his conduct in court during my five day trial, where he opposed two government lawyers. I heard the Judge say that it was the best he'd ever seen in his courtroom. I will never forget what Terry O'Malley did for me and my family, and for that I am forever grateful.
