Attorney Information
Overview
Jim Terry has devoted his entire career to helping those who needed it most. He believes that the best results are achieved through a personal relationship with his clients, and Jim is committed to personally handling any legal issues that arise. Jim understands, however, that not every case deals only with legal matters and that his clients also face real life issues which can affect their case. Jim knows that only through personalized representation can both the legal and real life issues be addressed and positive results obtained.
Jim has achieved positive results in hundreds of cases both in and outside of the court room since his legal career began in 1998. After graduating from St. Mary’s School of Law in San Antonio, Jim joined the Texas Attorney General’s office – fighting for the rights of victims of violent crimes. While there, Jim represented the State of Texas in every federal district court in the state. He also handled numerous appeals before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit achieving several published decisions.
Since 2003, Jim has been in private practice helping those who have suffered injuries through another’s negligence, those treated unfairly by their own insurance company, and those who were the victims of medical malpractice.
Outside the office, Jim and his wife, Coral, spend most of their time on their ranch taking care of Coral’s longhorn cattle. When the longhorns aren’t getting into trouble, Jim tries to get in a round of golf from time to time.

Verified ClientHired Attorney 2013My wife and I were very pleased with the services provided by Jim Terry of Terry, Simon & Kelly, PLLC. He was extremely professional and kept us up-to-date with the progress. Jim took the time to help us to understand the circumstances and legal considerations of our case. In the end our settlement exceeded the goal I had hoped he would help us to achieve.

Verified ClientHired Attorney 2014I would Highly Recommend, Attorney Jim Terry in Austin Texas. He is a great person to talk with, he takes the time to explains things thoroughly and treats you like a Equal human being, He thoroughly listens to all your concerns. Meeting with Jim was a blessing for us, I found Jim by searching the internet for a Labor Law Attorney for my wife. I called and left a message with several other attorneys, some had their assistance call me back which did not impress me at all! And they would not discuss the case with me, But Jim Terry called me back within the hour personally! And allowed me to discuss the case with him for my wife. When Jim Terry handled this case for my wife, she was very apprehensive in doing what was right, for fear of retaliation from her employer. Jim helped her feel better that her concerns were just and fair, And that her employer was not acting within the fairness of the labor law, by not paying her the overtime she earned, plus this employer, would even reduce her pay for the week for any day she worked less than 8 hours even when she made up the time on the following work days in the same pay period. Jim helped her feel better about moving forward. Jim handled things in a very professional manner and stood strong to up hold the labor law. We have labor laws to protect the employee and Jim Terry is a EXPERT in Labor Law! Jim works very hard to protect the employee's rights. Any employee out there that is not being paid for their time needs to talk to Jim Terry NOW! We were able to avoid a long court trial and was able to reach a quick agreement outside of the court. My wives settlement covered all attorney fees and she was able to recover the overtime pay that was past due to her. So it cost us nothing to get Jim Terry to help up hold the labor law with this employer! This was accomplished because of Jim Terry's Expertise in this area of the labor law.
