Biography

The Hon. Terry D. Terrell (Ret.) served as a judge on the 1st Judicial Circuit Court of Florida. Terrell was appointed to the bench by former Governor Lawton Chiles in 1992. He was selected to serve as its Chief Judge in 2009, a position he held until his retirement on November 30, 2015.


The 1st Judicial Circuit encompasses Escambia, Okaloosa, Santa Rosa, and Walton Counties. Terrell held assignments in Escambia County, where he helped to establish the Pay or Appear Child Support Enforcement Program.


Terrell earned an A.A. from Brevard Community College. He then completed a B.A. at the University of West Florida (1973) and a J.D. at Florida State University College of Law (1976).


After graduating from law school, Terrell began his legal career as an assistant public defender in the Office of the Public Defender for the 1st Judicial Circuit in 1977. Two years later, he entered into private practice, where he briefly worked as an attorney at Hosner, Taylor, Van Matre & Baker. Before the end of the year, Terrell returned to the Office of the Public Defender. He served as its chief assistant public defender, handling felony, capital litigation, and capital post-conviction cases until his appointment to the bench in 1992.


His memberships have included the Family Court Steering Committee, the Supreme Court Task Force on Treatment Based Drug Courts, and the Pensacola Chapter of the American Inn of Courts.


Terrell is a veteran of the United States Army, having served as a first lieutenant from 1966 to 1969.
