Terry Lavenstein is a true professional in all sense of the word. Very responsive, I called him on a Saturday afternoon and he returned my call not two hours later to schedule an appointment that following Monday. Its clear after talking with him that hes about his business and knows everything there is to know about what he does. As my lawyer he was able to drop my whole DUI case for one count of negligent driving and only one point on my driving record. Seriously, Terry Lavenstein is the man! Very likable with a great sense of humor, he should be your first and only choice as an attorney.

In 1997 I retained Terry as my attorney while playing for the Cleveland Browns; before the team moved to Baltimore. Due to the success of the minor criminal charge, I asked Terry to be my agent. In addition to becoming my best friend, Terry protected me throughout my career. Whenever I called, he was always there to guide me. I can’t speak highly enough about Terry’s representation of me throughout my career.

Terry is without a doubt the most brilliant Attorney/Agent. I’ve had the pleasure of virtually having him run my entire football career ever since I signed with the Ravens from the Indianapolis Colts in 1998. I couldn’t have selected a more honest and trustworthy Attorney/Agent to guide my football career. As my Attorney, Terry was second to none when it came to legal advice. Whenever a legal issue came up, Terry was there to answer any questions I had with sound legal advice.

Terry was great through the whole process in my DUI hearing. He prepped me perfectly and was very savvy in court. Ultimately, what could have been something that had a major negative impact for years instead was reduced to unsupervised probation, no fine, no points, no DUI. He even strongly encouraged me to stop drinking. And I did.
