John Michael Terpin

Mr. Terpin has been extremely helpful in providing counsel on complex family law matters. His willingness to give thoughtful well-informed information made the process easier to understand and reduced my family's stress considerably. I trust his guidance and regularly refer client matters outside t...he scope of my practice for him to resolve.

During 2011-2013 John helped me with the process to change my Visa Status. The school I was enrolled in committed several mistakes leading the change of visa from a J1 to an F1 that eventually the Visa was denied and the case was cancelled in two different occasions. John finally took care of the pr...ocess and later on had to intervened with the school to avoid having me paying the fees that the USCIS required in order to re-open my case. After waiting for a long time I did get my Visa. John charged me a fee that took in consideration my financial situation.

John handled contracts and publishing for my band, Tubaluba. We worked together from 2011-2013. John was always quick to respond to my questions with a clear and concise explanation of the legalities involved. He handled all performance contracts and helped us set up a rather complicated publishing ...company involving 8 unequal members. He handled a potentially emotionally charged situation with intelligence and humor.

I contacted Mr. Terpin to ask for help in preparing procedural rules for a non-profit organization that I am involved in. Mr. Terpin was extremely responsive and helpful in reviewing my proposed administrative rules and gave our organization a lot of great insight. He has proven to be a very well r...ounded attorney in not only having the skill and knowledge to help my organization, but has also provided legal advice to friends and colleagues in the areas of family law, immigration and contracts. He never charges a consultation fee and is very trustworthy in his billing practices, only charging for actual work done. I highly recommend this attorney for any legal need.

Divorce can be such a messy ordeal, especially when a child is involved. The first time I met with John Terpin, I had no idea what I needed to do legally to pursue my divorce and assure that everything was covered for the well being of my child. Even the mention of paperwork left me feeling frazzle...d and overwhelmed. I was immediately put at ease by John's friendly and relaxed attitude as he thoroughly and easily explained the process and went over the paperwork with me in ways I could understand. I actually found myself having a pleasant time in a situation that could have otherwise been traumatic and heartbreaking. John was always willing and available to answer any questions I had throughout the process regarding specifics of the divorce and parenting plan. I was awarded full custody of my daughter and very well articulated boundaries regarding her time spent in her father's care. Even now, years later, I know I can still contact John with any questions i have or insecurities that need reassuring. I would fully recommend him to anyone looking for legal advice and will continue to use his services in the future.
