TERRY MCCORMICK
I graduated from the University of Florida College of Law in 1993. After graduation, I worked
for AT&T Universal Card Services in the legal department in Jacksonville, Florida. My primary
responsibility was drafting and negotiating contracts with companies such as Microsoft and Lucent
Technologies. I then worked an Assistant State Attorney in Sarasota, FL from 1997-2002. As a
prosecutor, I took over one hundred cases to a jury verdict, including DUIs, domestic violence,
misdemeanors, and felonies.
I started my own legal practice in Sarasota after my time as a prosecutor. My practice was
divided between criminal and family law. I defended many people accused of crimes such as DUI,
domestic violence, possession or sale of controlled substances, assault, and various other misdemeanors
and felonies. As a family law practitioner, I worked on divorce matters, legal separations, pre-nuptial
agreements, modification of judgments, and matters related to restraining orders.
I moved with my wife and child to Astoria in late 2007 and continue to practice both criminal
and family law. I believe it is important to take each case individually and to treat my clients with
respect. I continue to represent people accused of crimes, including DUII. Family law continues to be
an essential part of my practice, including divorce, separation, modifications, restraining and stalking
orders.

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. ...

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...

Great Attorney and Counselor
I retained Mr. McCormick to address a misdemeanor criminal matter. He was knowledgeable and know the local scene as to how my matter would probably proceed.

Thorough Professional Top Notch Attorney
Easy to work with, he listened and addressed my problem in a very creative and methodical way. His hard work in preparing my defense showed itself in the courtroom and led to a fair and just NOT GUILTY decision.. I once read that a lawyer is like a movie director who writes the script for the tria...
"I endorse Terry as an advocate for his clients and a knowledgeable and professional lawyer. I have had the opportunity to work several domestic relations cases with Terry and in each one I have found that he is honest, realistic, and professional at all times."
"Terry is a knowledgeable attorney with years of experience. While I have never worked with Terry on any specific matter, each person that I have referred to him reports that their matter was handled promptly and efficiently. I will not hesitate to refer more people to Terry and happily endorse his abilities."
