Great defense lawyer

David Terry was hired by my boyfriend for a criminal negligent homicide case. My boyfriend was expected to go to jail for 30 days, which was part of the plea deal made with the DA. My boyfriend ended up not having to go to jail at all. David is very intelligent, he knows the court room and law like t...he back of his hand. He is friendly, out going and very funny.

Best money we ever spent!

Eleven months ago, we found ourselves in the middle of an absolute nightmare when our son was falsely accused of a crime that he did not commit; he was the victim. David Terry walked us through every step of the legal process, he communicated extensively with us, and he advocated for our son every st...ep of the way. We cannot say enough good things about the way that he represented our son. David was available days, nights, and weekends, and he fully supported taking a family/team approach to the case. His extensive experience, effective strategies, vast knowledge of the law, and relentless commitment to the truth, gave us the positive outcome that we desired for our son. We highly recommend David Terry to anyone who really needs someone to listen to them, and to fight for justice on their behalf. We will be forever grateful for the compassionate nature that was shown to our family by both David, and his caring staff, during one of the most challenging times of our lives; he is worth every single penny.

Oh, my goodness, Kristy, THANK YOU! It has been a high point in my professional life of 40+ years to have the honor of meeting, representing and triumphing with your family against baseless, undeserved and unjust charges!!! This case is a painful, but classic example of what happens when forces beyond one’s control: lying witnesses, social media, inappropriate politicization and a flawed police investigation, combine to rob an innocent person of their reputation, their chosen path in life and the very fabric of their life. Indeed, of ALL your lives!!! INNOCENT PEOPLE DO GET CHARGED WITH CRIMES THEY DID NOT COMMIT! ! !

David Terry fights !

We are very grateful for Mr. Terry's expertise concerning our young adult son back in the Fall of 2021. He understands the law and puts forth great effort for the best results for his client(s). I might add that our son understands the law better too. Simply put; David Terry fights ! Thank you ...Sir

If you want the best money can buy!!

I was looking at a possible measure 11 crime. After talking with David and looking at all the evidence David was able to get me a much better outcome. David was very straight with me and I knew where we stood the whole time. If your in trouble he's by far your best option. Thank you David for never... giving up, and getting me a positive outcome.

When you need the very best

I can’t speak highly enough about Mr. Terry and his staff. Being arrested is an unbelievably stressful event especially when you’re innocent. In dealing with his office staff I was always made to feel comfortable and attended to without ever a feeling of judgment, quite the opposite I was always made... to feel that I was being supported and represented with the highest degree of integrity. As per Mr. Terry his attention to detail and command of the law I believe is unparalleled! David Terry meticulously put together a strong defense working closely with me, the discovery and the evidence. He waited until the right moment shortly before trial and then laid our defense out objectively but aggressively to the Prosecutor and she dismissed all charges the very next day. I interviewed three different law firms before I went with Mr. Terry and I have to say it’s the best choice I have ever made good luck to anyone who’s reading this and I give a full thumbs up and recommendation to Mr. Terry’s law firm!

"When I was taking on representation of a client in a part of Oregon with which I was unfamiliar, I sought out the counsel of Mr Terry. I soon learned why Mr Terry is widely respected by his colleagues in the criminal defense bar. Mr Terry is knowledgeable about the law and cares deeply for his clients. Mr Terry took time out of his busy schedule and generously offered me assistance. I am proud to be in the same profession as Mr Terry, and will gladly refer clients to him when the opportunity arises."
