Terry knows the law!

Terry helped me with a situation that was a complete and embarrassing mistake wherein a small store took the case to law enforcement for a less than $20.00 overlooked item at check out that cost me over 200 times that to have it dismissed in the end. It took us some time but Terry was patient and und...erstanding of the delicacy of the situation on my livelihood and community reputation. I'd highly recommend him in his area of expertise.

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.

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.!!

Highly recommend, great experience

There is nothing worse that being wrongfully accused. If it happens to you, you want Terry McCormick representing you. I was fully acquitted of of all charges. He was great to to work with every step of the way. He returns all communications in a timely manner and was respectful at every turn. His ...deep knowledge of the law and decades of experience both as an attorney and a prosecutor made all of the difference. I had full confidence in him and highly recommend him.

Straightforward and honest work for you

I hired Terry to help me work through a tough time in my life. He was very knowledgeable and honest and didn't sugarcoat anything but he was also nice and there to empathize with me as well. He won't give you any false claims or false hope but tell you how it is and what he thinks. I really apprecia...ted that. We got the outcome I wanted and honestly can say that I might owe him my life. Great guy to work with and less expensive than the other options I had found.
