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.

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...

Compassionate, Ethical, A Great Attorney who knows the Law !
My case was complicated because 6 months prior to hiring Terry McCormick, I had basically signed a blank divorce decree. I left out virtually every important detail in my decree, unknowingly, making myself vulnerable to being fully taken advantage of, turning this into a very unpleasant knock-down d...
