Terry has more than 34 years of experience representing individuals and a variety of businesses throughout all phases of Trust, Business and Real Estate Litigation, including trials and appeals, mediation and arbitration. He has been honored as a California Super Lawyer and has achieved a “Preeminent-AV” rating, the highest indicator of a lawyer's ethical standards and professional ability, based on evaluations from his peers and from the judiciary. Terry has a strong belief that, whatever the merits of a dispute, far too often only the lawyers come out ahead. That is why before a case is filed and throughout the litigation process, Terry looks for opportunities to achieve a constructive resolution which is negotiated from a position of strength. That strength is derived from close collaboration with his clients as they develop litigation strategies that are both cost effective and outcome driven.
