Retired 40+ year lawyer now tutoring the Law to Law Students

Terry G.

Before retiring from the practice of law in 2021, I spent 39 years as a full-time attorney. Big firms, small firms, and sole-practitioner-I did it all. In the 90s I was a partner in the then-largest law firm in the State of Texas. Unlike many firm attorneys, I always did trial work and transactional work. My clients used to remark that I knew how to paper deals, and then, how to protect them in court.

My federal and state trial and appellate work was in Texas, Illinois, South Dakota, and Louisiana. In 2020, I was proud to submit a Writ of Certiorari to the U.S. Supreme Court. Transactional projects were located in Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, and Colorado. The substantive areas of the law I focused on were constitutional law, real estate, business contracts, business torts prosecution, construction law, administrative law, employment law, trade secrets, and many others. I even did family law for four years upon graduation from law school in 1982.

I have tutored law students since I retired and assisted students from law schools around the country. I have guided students through Contracts, Constitutional Law, Torts, Legal Writing, Federal Civil Procedure, Property, Family Law, Professional Responsibilities, Probate, Wills and Estates, and others. I am also an accomplished legal writer and have a passion for helping students organize and express themselves, whether it be in petitions, motions, or appellate briefs.

I have just added Wyzant to my platforms and would love to help you! I teach from a contextual base and have no desire to “hide the ball.”
