Terry P. Gorman

I hired Attorney Donald Henslee to represent me in a discrimination case. Due to health issues, Attorney Henslee partnered with Terry Gorman who them took over my case. Initially, Attorney Gorman worked with me to outline the events surrounding the case. He seemed passionate and had convinced me that... things were working in my favor. I paid him over $5,000 with no results because he never filed a single document. I recently found out that he has resigned in lieu of disbarment for not filing and/or properly representing clients. Where’s the justice for the people that trusted this Attorney? What are we supposed to do?? I feel like I was victimized twice…only difference is I paid money the second time.

I, like many of the other reviewers, was abruptly dropped by Mr. Gorman. No other attorney would take my case due to their concerns with steps taken/ not taken by Mr. Gorman. The one attorney he was able to get to take my case, two months in, has now decided to “try other career options.” Meanwhile, ...my case is still pending and I deserve justice. The justice Terry convinced me he would fight for over a year ago. This is a nightmare. I’ve now had to pay two retainers and still fighting alone.

I initially hired Donald Hensley prior to Mr Gorman taking over. From the beginning, he was extremely hard to reach, had ME do clerical work that a paralegal should have done, and had me submit and resubmit documents. He song and danced me as he did some of these other reviewers. He said he would fi...le my case in this court, then it would be moved to another court. There was no evidence that anything was ever done. My frustration with his lack of communication came to a head when I finally went to his Austin office. The receptionist was rude and handed me a post it note to give him a message. I messaged, called, used the web portal, and texted him repeatedly to be answered. His staff rotated in and out. At one point he admitted that my case had been “lost” amid paper work on someone’s desk. I dealt with his lying to me for three years. Then, I get a message saying he is done. Just...,done. Too bad for me. Told me to download all of my documents. So what... now I have to hire another lawyer and pay another retainer? I want my retainer back and in the space of time he claims to have been working my case, I would assume he used it up. I am terribly displeased and find this behavior abhorrent and unacceptable.
