Incomplete litigation

Terry, you advised me at the onset of my case not to take an offer from my school district which would have given me the chance to become licensed. You told me that you could provide a better outcome for me that would have been more advantageous for me in the long run. You assured me that you would b...e able to force the district to sign off on my AC paperwork which would then allow me to become certified. 3 years later...and still nothing to show for this other than a retainer fee that was lost. I am very disappointed in you Terry!

Terminated the case but have not got the refund yet.

Mr. Gorman took my case. We did not make any progress in the case, and he terminated the case because he has some issue with his license. Mr. Gorman promised to refund in October, but I have not got my refund yet.

Refund was not made as a reconciliation of the account shows accrued fees to the firm.

Terminated Case Without Notice

He kept stating he was working on the lawsuit against the school district for over 6 months. Kept kicking the can down the road. Week before stated he would have it filed by the end of the week, then no response. Messaged him again only to find out that he was turning in his law license after spea...king with the Texas State Board Association and he was terminating the case. Refused to return the retainer after he stated the firm is out of money. We were just left high and dry with a school district and TEA continuing to break Texas State law repeatedly. He was also very hard to reach to get any process on the case.

If someone is accusing me of illegality, perhaps use your real name so I may properly respond.

Highly Recommended

Mr. Gorman paid great attention to the details of my case and became my partner in fighting a wrong! He clearly discussed the details of my case throughout. Once our hearing started, we were well prepared and the district dropped the case after one day of testimony.

HE REALLY CAN HELP

I was accused by the school for academic dishonestly, and I reached out to Terry as my hearing date approaches. He and his team comforted me, helped me collect evidences, and prep me for the hearing. Terry even wrote a step-by-step hearing guide for me to help me not to blank out during this very str...essful time. With the help of Terry, I was able to address the panel professionally, and I successfully got the charges dropped. During these two months, Terry and his team have been very responsive, informative, and considerate. Even when Terry was unavailable to respond to my message, his team would let me know so I was not left on read. My mental health got so much better after I hired Terry, and I will definitely recommend him to anyone. He KNOWS how to help you win.
