Terrence M. Connors has been recognized by his peers as one of the pre-eminent trial attorneys in the state.

Terry has always been an aggressive and proactive advocate. He started his career at one of Buffalo's largest law firms, quickly demonstrating his abilities as he was elected managing partner at the young age of 35. But Terry came to see that the big firm structure was hindering his ability to respond quickly and decisively to his clients’ needs. He had a vision of building a leaner, more efficient firm to improve the work he could do for his clients. His vision was to form a litigation boutique – a compact firm composed of the best and brightest litigators, freed from large firm constraints, and devoted entirely to providing litigation services. CONNORS LLP represents the realization of that vision – one that Terry continues to shape and direct.. "I became a lawyer to help peopleeven when the odds are stacked against them,I became a lawyer to make a differenceand I try to do that every day and in every case."
