Excellent Lawyer

I hired Terry and just got everything settled. Terry’s communication was exceptional and he always made sure I was aware of what was happening next, potential outcomes, and I appreciated how he didn’t sugar coat anything. He’ll tell you what he thinks for a realistic outcome and I appreciated that. ... In the end Terry was able to get me one of the best outcomes I could have possibly asked for. For anyone looking for a criminal defense attorney I would highly recommend him.

He actually cares about his clients

Such a great lawyer and a great person. I was in a pinch, and needed a lawyer fast. Tried calling multiple lawyers in the area. Terry not only didn’t give me the run around, but interrupted his work out to talk to me. Took my case right then and there, and had me in his office for a face to face appo...intment the next day. Terry is very personable, takes a genuine interest in his clients, and truly cares about his clients and their outcome. Hands down would refer anyone in need of a lawyer to him.

Hands-down best Lawyer around!!

I was in a situation where if I had to face it alone or with just regular help I probably would’ve done prison time. As it turns out ,when you’re going through a divorce or a break up and there’s a child involved your ex can make up anything off of the top of her head and call it in and without any p...roof whatsoever or any sort of trouble with the law before you can have your whole life completely destroyed. Even when your ex admits, she has mental problems.Everything you worked for , gone .your relationship with your children ,gone. I believe Mr. McCormick and associate saved my life literally. After two years, I’m finally able to walk around again unjudged by the law. I am no criminal and Terry knew this and help me get my life back on track. Thank you, Terry.!!
