About David

Have You Been Charged With a Crime? Make the Right Choice.

  I have been a successful, aggressive trial attorney in all the counties of southern oregon for over thirty years. I have successfully handled many high-profile cases including the Tiller Arson Fires, the First Strike Environmental Firefighters case and, recently,  a complete acquittal of all charges in the Amos Manslaughter case.

  I would strongly urge anyone facing serious criminal charges to do their homework,check around and inquire of other lawyers throughout southern oregon regarding my credentials and track record to learn more about what we bring to the table.

Review David Terry

Simply the best

Posted by

David Terry took on a very high profile case for my family, he is very aggressive, and compassionate in a court room for his client, he worked non stop for weeks preparing and getting this case ready for battle. His knowledge of the law and the court room is impeccable, he got a full acquittal for our case. We are forever grateful.

Excellent Communication, Swift Resolve, Complete Satisfaction

We hired David Terry to handle a case for my son. My son was driving through Oregon on his way to school in Seattle. Every step of the way, we were kept fully informed of the progress of the case. Mr. Terry saw to it that my son did not have to miss the first 3 days of school appearing in court. David Terry was able to get the entire case dismissed! He is an exceptional attorney that I highly endorse and recommend.

David Terry is a great trial lawyer. My experiences over 37 years as a trial lawyer have convinced me that virtually any lawyer who observes David trying a case to a jury becomes a better trial lawyer as a result. He is that good!!!

I have known David as a friend and a colleague for more than thirty years. He has grown to become one of the preeminent criminal defense lawyers in southern Oregon. He is creative and relentless in his representations. I endorse him without reservation.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

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.

Peter Carini, Criminal defense Attorney on Jan 19, 2010

I endorse this lawyer's work. David and I have known each other professionally for over a decade. My practice is criminal defense as well. Whenever I have a client in need of professional help in Roseburg, David Terry is ALWAYS at the top of the list. I respect his work and trial skills.
