We know that poor decisions or mistakes can lead to criminal charges. But it is important not to give up hope. Terry Hess Law is here to advocate for college students and recent college grads who face criminal allegations. We start with the assumption that it is possible for you to achieve a desirable outcome that does not negatively impact your future goals.
Do not face your criminal charges on your own. A criminal charge has the potential to smudge your record and impact your future goals. Some criminal charges may appear less serious than others, but any criminal charge can cost you an important job, housing or educational opportunities. Instead of jeopardizing your future by taking a plea, discuss the details of your charge with our skilled and dedicated lawyer.
Alcohol-related charges raise a potential threat to your future as a student, athlete or organization member. A conviction may prevent you from obtaining the goals that you have set for yourself. If you made a mistake, do not fret over the what-ifs. Consult attorney Terry Hess for an insightful legal review of your case.
A drug charge is a serious criminal offense that you will want to handle in a serious manner. Whether it be marijuana, prescription drugs, heroin, cocaine or any other drug, you will want a skilled criminal defense attorney to review your situation. Terry Hess Law makes criminal charges less intimidating for college students, first-time offenders and recent graduates.
The college nightlife is enticing and inviting. You may have decided to drive home from a bar or party. However, law enforcement knows the college nightlife scene, and they were waiting, and they pulled you over. Now it's time to consult Terry Hess Law to help you navigate the legal system. Attorney Terry Hess has practiced criminal law for more than 15 years and understands the complexities of a traffic stop.

One of our drivers received a traffic citation and we contacted Mr. Terry. From the beginning he was very responsive and very explanatory about the whole process. Mr. Terry had a patience for all questions that we have had and with his help everything was resolved pretty quickly. We would definitely recommend him!

I live in the state of Washington and last month as I was visiting the East Coast, I got a ticket violation. I didn’t want my Wa drivers record to be affected plus insurance rates will go up. So I looked for lawyers in PA, and for 3 days of searching on the internet, there was no luck for me. On the 4th day of searching, I came across Terry’s website. I called him right away and he actually said he could help me!! Apparently, where I got pulled over, was in the middle of no where, that’s why no one could help, but Terry on the other hand, gave me very good advice. And agreed to take my case

Mr. Terry Hess is an amazing attorney who convinced the Trooper and Judge to amend my Speeding offense to a zero point, non-moving violation. I appreciate everything that he did for me. I highly recommend Mr. Hess due to his professionalism and responsibility!!!

I found Terry Hess on a google search and I am so happy that I did! Terry personally answered the phone when I called, which I wasn't expecting, but so happy that he did. He talked through the traffic violation and provided next steps......all without charging me a penny. What an awesome person. So helpful, provided great advise and made me feel so much better about the situation. I am very grateful for Terry and him answering my call today! Thanks you Terry!!! Would highly recommend, without hesitation.

In the event that I needed a lawyer, I am so thankful that I found Mr. Hess. He was outstanding and incredibly professional. I do not reside in Pennsylvania, therefore making me nervous about trying to attend a hearing virtually. Mr. Hess did a great job working with me virtually. If you are looking for a reliable, well spoken, lawyer I strongly recommend looking into hiring Mr. Hess.

Terry is the best lawyer in state college and possibly the most underrated also. He is thoughtful, devoted and puts his clients first. He loves representing Penn State students and he genuinely wants to help people get out of situations they are in. Terry has helped me effectively get out of the worst hole in my life and truly wish I could give him 6/5 stars because that would be a more accurate rating than 5/5. If you have any sort of problem, Terry should be your representative.

I want to thank Terry Hess, for the job he done. I received a speeding ticket, and being out of state, and having a CDL. I couldn't afford to have anything on my license. I contacted Mr.Hess, he responded promptly and very professional. He represented me on my behalf, and was very happy with the outcome.

Terry was very prompt, friendly and professional in his dealings with us. We needed help with a traffic matter and he was great! His price was reasonable and even during a pandemic he was there for us if we had any questions!

We used Terry for a Magisterial Court matter. Very prompt, professional and courteous to all involved. We came back with an incredible result. It could not have went better and he relieved so much stress. So glad that we called for advice and then retained Terry Hess.

For someone that has had there fair share of run in's with the law and hung out to dry most times. I can honestly say that hands down Terry has been the best all around attorney I've had to this date and his fee's are very reasonable. Again thank you for your service
