About

Terence Christian Scheurer, a graduate of Iona College and Touro Law School, is a Trial attorney specializing in the areas of matrimonial and family law for over 27 years. Mr. Scheurer is also experienced in appellate practice.Mr. Scheurer was admitted to the New York State Bar in 1994. He is also admitted to practice in the United States District Court for the Southern, Eastern and Northern Districts of New York. He took the road less travelled and immediately opened his own law practice upon graduating law school. He represents individuals in all aspects of matrimonial and family law, including equitable distribution of assets, child custody, spousal support, child support, pre-nuptial and post-nuptial agreements, and cases involving relocation of children’s residence by the custodial parent.Mr. Scheurer will handle your matter from consultation to courtroom. He understands the emotional toll a divorce takes on a client and that assigning associates or other staff members without staying “hands on”, only creates more stress for the client. From the outset, Mr. Scheurer works with his clients to determine their short and long term goals. He recognizes the importance of compassion and patience while staying laser focused on protecting his client’s rights when dealing with tough adversaries. He learned early on that the best way to negotiate a fair settlement in a divorce case is to be thoroughly prepared. A large percentage of Mr. Scheurer’s business comes from client’s who lost faith in their former attorney once settlement negotiations broke down; feeling that they were being forced to settle because their attorney did not want to go to Trial. On the contrary, when settlement cannot be achieved and Trial becomes necessary, Mr. Scheurer is ready. He zealously protects his client's rights utilizing his vast courtroom experience and almost three decades of trying cases.Mr. Scheurer takes pride in the fact that fellow attorneys often refer their clients to him, including some attorneys who practice in the same area of law !

I am a trial lawyer. Mr. Scheurer represented me on my contentious divorce. Terence was knowledgeable, compassionate and skilled. As in all litigation, attention to detail and strategy are the linchpins to success. My divorce involved the full gamut of issues: custody, support, maintenance, and division of assets. Terence resolved all the issues with precision and the type of high end strategy one would expect from a larger firm. His staff was knowledgeable and accommodating. I highly recommend Mr. Scheurer.

Attorney Terence Scheurer was an invaluable resource when it came to protecting my rights. He was very personable and professional. It was a pleasure to have had him on my side and would highly recommend him. His attention to detail and knowledge of laws are unsurpassed. His response time, accessibility was always results oriented. Most importantly, he has a successful proven track record that stands out. I feel honored to recommend him to anyone requiring legal services to any degree in his area at a fair price. Thank you!

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Terence Christian Scheurer when you need a divorce attorney. He is a savvy and smart attorney with a great courtroom presence. My wife went through 3 attorneys; I only needed one! Terence made a miserable experience a bearable one. He was able to get me through my divorce relatively quickly even though my wife kept stalling. After the divorce, when my wife refused to list our marital residence for sale, as per the Judge's Court Order, Terence had me appointed receiver over the property. Immediately after that occurred, my wife bought me out of the property. Thank you Terence !

I was referred to Terence Scheurer by a friend who used him and have no complaints whatsoever. He handled my divorce in a timely and professional fashion keeping informed every step along the way. Afterwards I used him for my Will and other pertinent matters. No complaints, I highly recommend him.

Very knowledgeable, excellent and genuine attorney. He was very supportive and straight forward. Terrence took time to accept calls and answered any questions. I was informed from the beginning to the end. I am 100% satisfied with his professionalism and would definitely recommend Terrence.

Words just can't describe how Terence alleviated so much pressure when my husband filed an Order of Protection against me. I was clueless on how to proceed. Terence took the Bull by the Horn (gently) and I was protected.

Terence is literally a lifesaver. He made my divorce a pleasant experience as crazy as it sounds!!! I had consulted with some terrible attorneys before i found him. He was a breath of fresh air. From the day i met him he put me at ease that he was in corner and I no longer had to worry about ANYTHING. He let me know what the laws were, and let me make the decisions that i was comfortable with. I really felt like I had a new close friend who was an expert and could guide me in the right direction. From then on all my stress was GONE and I felt completely protected. My divorce was resolved quickly and painlessly and I would highly recommend him to any and everyone. Several of my friends saw my great experience and used him since for their issues including and other than divorce. They are all extremely pleased and have thanked me for giving them such a great referral.

“SUPERMAN” – That’s my name for Terence Christian Scheurer! Terence has been not only a fantastic attorney, but a caring and honest person as well. Rare qualities in most attorneys! Terence took over my contentious divorce case after my previous attorney was disbarred. It was a very dark and trying time for me dealing with an upcoming divorce trial and not having an attorney. Terence was highly recommended to me by a friend – The best advice I have ever taken. My case was beyond challenging. I was dealing with a very vindictive, money-hungry husband who cared nothing for his three children and wanted only as many of our assets as he could get his hands on. It was an uphill battle from the beginning. Terence Scheurer took it all in stride! Our case went to trial, and Terence was amazing! He reminded me of the attorneys you see on television – well spoken, perfect points raised, objections when the other attorney brought up the ex-husband’s pathetic attempt at a defense. He was incredible! Needless to say, Terence won me my case by a landslide! And he did it with grace, honesty and perseverance. He left no stone unturned when it came to recounting the truth! I can go on and on about what an amazing attorney Terence Scheurer is! I highly recommend Terence not only because of his superior legal skills, but also by his level of personal integrity and complete dedication to all his clients. I felt more like his “family”.

I highly recommend Terence as your divorce attorney. Terence helped me and my two young children in one of the most darkest periods in my life. The divorce case went on for almost 4 years not because of me or my lawyer but because my husband did everything in his power to delay the case. In fact he went through FIVE lawyers. I only needed ONE…Terence Christian Scheurer. The case was complex and it involved law guardians, forensic doctors and experts. My case went to Trial and Terence helped me win sole custody of my two children. I am forever grateful. I highly recommend that when you are interviewing divorce attorneys you make sure they are TRIAL savvy. What separated Terence from all of the other lawyers was that he was a seasoned TRIAL ATTORNEY and it showed. His courtroom presence and skill was amazing. Thank you Terence.

Mr. Scheurer helped me at a time when it seemed so much was hopeless and my family was being torn apart. He gave me great advice and basically held my hand through getting orders of protection, custody and visitation worked out, and negotiated financial solutions to my great satisfaction. Mr. Scheurer was a force to be around in court, he knew the judges and made things happen! I recommend highly!!
