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.

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...
