He's a former prosecutor from Florida. He doesnt sugarcoat anything but he is very knowledgeable and will even call you back on a weekend, at night, in the event of a crisis. He is personable and empathetic. When I first hired him he didn't think I had much of a chance in my divorce case. After he witnessed the acts of the defendant he turned up the fire and took got me everything I wanted. He even got my alimony, which doesnt happen often in Oregon. He is more knowledgeable about rules and regulations from other states and the military. He had to give the judge a rundown on specific military laws. I am very impressed and feel like I have been taken care of completely.

Terry is a very professional, knowledgeable, respectable man. I had hired Terry for a dispute of custody. Terry went above and beyond to ensure I understood everything that was occurring. He communicated with me every step of the way, day, night, and in his own personal time. He did not sugarcoat anything. He advised me of the positives and the negatives. He never promised anything to give false hope, and worked around the clock on my case. I would clearly without a doubt, go to Terry again if I ever need to!

I retained Mr. McCormick to address a misdemeanor criminal matter. He was knowledgeable and know the local scene as to how my matter would probably proceed. He always stood beside me and was realistic about what to expect. He was able to get the matter dismissed. I would have no hesitancy in recommending Mr. McCormick. He was fair and honest.

My case was complicated because 6 months prior to hiring Terry McCormick, I had basically signed a blank divorce decree. I left out virtually every important detail in my decree, unknowingly, making myself vulnerable to being fully taken advantage of, turning this into a very unpleasant knock-down dragged out post divorce. Terry was realistic from the very beginning. He was upfront about my options and possible outcomes. He took the time to explain everything to me in simple terms. Even when dealing with an unreasonable and uncooperative opposing party, he was assertive in a diplomatic and professional manner. In my experience, Terry only advised me to fight when absolutely necessary. He frequently sought to de-escalate my situation, which was always in the best interest for me and my family. In court, Terry is nothing short of incredible. An extremely talented, intelligent, and articulate family law attorney. His work is consistently top quality. I couldn’t have asked for a better lawyer.

I hired Terry for my divorce, and he did everything he could to help me, do what was best for my kids and me. It was a very challenging divorce and lots of different obstacles, that came up. Terry always was right there to give me advice and help me figure out the right solution. Terry really cares about his clients. And works on things, quickly and affitiontly. He was easy to trust and be able to get a hold of in a emergency type of situation. I would and have recommended Terry to anyone that needs a lawyer..

I hired him on my case to get custody of my daughter. As a man it is really hard to get it. But this man worked really hard to make sure my daughter went to my loving home. Let’s hope I never have to use him again but if I do need one this is the man I’m using. Thanks Terry.

Terry McCormick has been my attorney since 2007 He helped me gain custody of my daughter and little did I know I would keep him on speed dial for other issues that i have encountered over the years. No Question or concern is to small. Terry is always available either by phone or email. I would and have highly recommended him to friends and family.

Easy to work with, he listened and addressed my problem in a very creative and methodical way. His hard work in preparing my defense showed itself in the courtroom and led to a fair and just NOT GUILTY decision.. I once read that a lawyer is like a movie director who writes the script for the trial. Only one attorney can be the director and the more I think about Terry’s performance in the courtroom, the more I understand that analogy.

I came back today July 3, for a trial on traffic violations. I believe Terry did a great job in jury selection and cross examining the witness. I was dismissed and I know that had lot to do with Terry‘s expertise. As a rule I haven’t recommended many lawyers, and Terry has my highest recommendation
