John Terrezza is a criminal defense attorney and the managing attorney of Terrezza Law. Born in Pensacola, Florida, Terrezza is happy to have returned home in 2015 to practice law in his home town.
Terrezza is a graduate of the University of Florida where he earned his Bachelors of Arts degree in Environmental Science. Terrezza attended the Florida State University College of Law.
As a law student Terrezza worked as a certified legal intern with the Florida Department of Community Affairs and served as the Articles and Notes Editor for the Journal of Land Use and Environmental Law.
In 2009 Terrezza graduated from the Florida State University College of Law with a Juris Doctorate and a Certificate in Land Use and Environmental Law. Following graduation he worked as a part-time law clerk at the criminal defense firm, the Law Offices of Lloyd Vipperman, Jr.
Because of Terrezza’s hard work and dedication, he was quickly promoted to a full-time associate attorney. For the first five years of his legal career, he represented all types of people in criminal proceedings—from those who could not afford to hire their own attorney to millionaires accused of committing white collar crime.
As managing attorney at Terrezza Law, John Terrezza now devotes 100% of his own law practice to criminal defense and appeals. He zealously represents his clients and holds the prosecution to its burden of proving the charge(s) against his clients beyond and to the exclusion of a reasonable doubt. He believes strongly that it is better that one hundred guilty persons escape than one innocent suffer. Terrezza has achieved not guilty verdicts and dismissals in County Court and Circuit Courts in Florida and in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Florida. Terrezza has also argued succesfully on behalf of his clients in the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals.
