The fact that the "attorney" claims that I am another attorney trying to make him look bad is laughable and deeply unprofessional.
***********
I'll spare you the details of my personal emotions and just give you the facts. I paid $4,500 for Mr. Terry's services after consulting one other attorney. He seemed genuinely on my side and seemed willing to fight for me. This changed after he charged my card. He promised me to speak to me about my case and prepare what he described as a "trial binder". He was aloof and rarely returned phone calls. Occasionally I received a reply via e-mail. I trusted him being as I had never been in trouble before and had no idea what to expect. There was also a witness to my case that contradicted everything in the police report he promised to subpoena. I was even in the room when he called the man and asked if he would be willing to testify. He did not subpoena that witness. He did not speak to me at all before my trial. He did not prepare a trial binder for me. He retained the help of an "expert witness" who was completely unprepared and had no idea the details of my case. An expert witness I paid for and trusted him to recommend. When I was convicted he left me to question the jury for an hour (to see why the convicted me) with no consideration to me or my emotional state. Before I signed a contract, after I signed the contract and after my conviction he verbally told me he would help me end my probation early (providing I paid for my fine by then and remained out of trouble). I called him twice and left messages with his paralegal or receptionist. He didn't return either call. I cannot recommend this man and I highly advise you against retaining his services. He's unreliable and the very definition of what gives lawyers a bad name.
