Terry Pierce | Norman Criminal Lawyer

The Pierce Law Firm P.C., based in Norman, Oklahoma is anchored by the private law practice of Terry L. Pierce, who, by handling dozens of jury trials and many hundreds of other cases since 1990, has cultivated tremendous personal mettle - a battle-hardened core with a mantle of diplomacy and finesse. Mr. Pierce’s wit and intellectual stamina have been tested in the fires of prolonged trials and by the stress of continuous back-to-the-wall fighting for his clients. His trial success is directly related to his ability to understand and affect people’s perceptions about other people and about facts. He exposes the small in the big, the weak in the powerful, the prey in the predator.

Terry L. Pierce has spent his legal career persuading people to stop and question their own prejudices and agendas. This craft has universal applications, but Mr. Pierce has primarily devoted his talent to defending the injured and accused.

• -Oklahoma v. HDB, Cleveland County, CF-92-812. Defendant charged with 1st degree murder and wrongfully convicted of 2nd degree murder because the trial judge, despite Mr. Pierce's strong vocal objections, made a legal error in allowing Mr. Baker's ex-wife to testify about a statement he made to her during their marriage. Conviction reversed by the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals and sent back to the trial court where Mr. Pierce then obtained a full dismissal of the case. -Oklahoma v. RJL, McCurtain County, CRF-93-52. Defendant charged with 1st degree murder of her 70 year old husband who she shot nearly 18 times as he sat on the floor eating a bowl of ice cream. This was a landmark trial in Oklahoma for being the first pre-appeal jury acquittal using the battered wife defense after that defense was accepted by the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals. -Oklahoma v. CDB, Oklahoma County, CF-96-3674. Defendant charged with 1st degree murder in alleged gang related car-to-car shooting. After nearly three days of trial proceedings, and vigorous cross-examination of a self-professed "eye-witness", Mr. Billingsley was acquitted after only 16 minutes of jury deliberation.
