"There must be a better way!" Not an original thought, perhaps; but a sound opinion based on Terry's nearly 36 years of litigation experience.. His trial experience, his personal divorce 30 years ago, over 25 years of helping clients deal with alcohol, substance abuse and domestic violence issues, and numerous appointments representing children in custody disputes have convinced Terry that most conflicts--especially in family law--are better handled outside the courtroom with the help of trained and sensitive mediators.. Terry Mead is no slouch in court. Named a Southwest Super Lawyer in the area of general civil litigation, Terry also has earned the profession's top national Peer Review Rating and is listed in the Bar Register of Preeminent Lawyers. His experience ranges from defamation, copyright, trademark and business litigation to divorce and custody hearings. And his community work as a volunteer attorney, Scout leader, and supporter of diversity programs have earned Terry numerous unsought recognitions.. In early 2015, Terry closed his law firm, Mead & Associates, which once had as many as eight attorneys and operated for 22 years at the corner of 67th Avenue and Cactus Road in Glendale. With a smaller staff and on his own (but definitely not retired), Terry is more selective of his cases and is trying to devote more time to individual clients. Continuing his 36-year tradition, Terry still strives to "give attorneys a good name!". Terry earned his bachelor's degree summa cum laude in Social Change & Development from the University of Wisconsin—Green Bay and both law and master's (journalism) degrees from the University of Wisconsin—Madison. In 2006, he underwent intensive mediation training with Alhadeff & Forbes Mediation Services of Seattle, Washington. He belongs to the Maricopa County Association of Family Mediators, has served on the board of the Association for Conflict Resolution's Arizona chapter, and works to spread the message of "peer mediation" programs in area high schools. He and Amy Vavra founded the Arizona Center for Conflict Resolution & Education in 2007, promoting mediation and Do-It-Mostly-Yourself Divorce programs as alternatives to litigation.. An Eagle Scout, former Cubmaster and Scoutmaster for his now-adult sons, and past member of the BSA Grand Canyon Council's executive board, Terry’s favorite activities involve the outdoors (hiking and backpacking), writing, photography and assisting with worship services at his currently lay-led church.
