Truly is one of the best!

I've had the pleasure of working with Terry Thomas for more than a decade, and I can truly say that he is one of the best attorneys in the business. Most recently, as a Senior Vice President in a large multi-national corporation in the digital entertainment space, I frequently turned to Terry for our... legal needs on a wide range of topics, and he consistently provided solid advice and top-notch legal services for our company. He is equally adept at counseling on specialized intellectual property issues, providing general business strategy and risk assessment, exploring the implications of fact patterns and potential counterfactual scenarios on the fly, handling all aspects of complex negotiations, reviewing and revising draft agreements received from potential business partners (often quite lengthy, one-sided, and sometimes poorly drafted), and developing airtight customized deal documents and reusable templates for particular business/industry-specific needs. The term "outsourced General Counsel" gets thrown around a lot these days, and Terry is quite capable in that role. He is extremely intelligent, logical, detail-oriented, and takes great pride in his work. I can always feel confident that when he is involved in a project, it will get done efficiently, and to the most exacting standards, always with the ultimate goal of protecting our company to the fullest. I highly recommend him -- he truly is one of the best!

"I endorse this lawyer. He is an excellent well qualified, knowledgeable attorney on matters of copyright and intellectual property, especially on a facet of IP related to why we are all here, intellectual property freedom. Terry is a hard fighter and while he believes in a person's right to his creativity, he also believes in freedom. Thus, he is a great, balanced choice for anyone wanting an IP-Copyright attorney."

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
