Charlie Terry - Injury Attorney

03/12/2026

Very proud of my partners, this firm, and the work we do! Personal injury law truly needs to be personal, as you are helping people through some of the worst times of their lives. I am honored to represent the clients that have chosen our firm to protect their interest and pursue justice for them.



For Partner Charlie Terry, the decision to become a lawyer was rooted in the values he grew up with.

His father was a union worker who believed deeply in standing up for the people around him — and he encouraged Charlie to do the same.

That perspective shaped Charlie's decision to pursue law.

Today, at Gould Grieco & Hensley, Charlie focuses his career as an attorney on helping people through some of the most devastating moments of their lives — representing families torn apart by wrongful death, individuals severely injured in construction and industrial accidents, victims of medical malpractice, and survivors of sexual abuse and assault.

It’s work that means fighting for real people — and standing up to some of the most powerful corporations and institutions when justice demands it.

Unfortunately, big tech continues to push profits over safety, including the safety of our children! This should be a no brainer and an issue both sides can get behind. Please see the flyer and link below for important information about how to protect our children.

So proud of our team on this matter! This result helps our client obtain justice and helps to make sure tragedies like this do not happen to future generations of students!

RECORD-SETTING SETTLEMENT: Gould Grieco & Hensley has secured a $17.5 million settlement for a former Chicago Public Schools student sexually abused by an administrator – making it the largest recovery for school abuse in Illinois history.

Approved just hours before trial, this outcome also marks the second-largest sexual abuse recovery ever reported in the state and one of the largest individual survivor settlements in the country.

The case exposed serious systemic failures and a longstanding pattern of misconduct. Our team – Martin Gould, Mike Grieco, Bryce Hensley, and Nick Wainwright – led litigation efforts and worked to hold the district accountable.

Most importantly, our client seeks to protect future generations of students. She’s offered to allocate a portion of her settlement to support CHILD USA’s Gold Standard Prevention Program team to evaluate CPS’s policies and training. We’re honored to stand beside her and all survivors seeking justice.

If you or someone you know has experienced abuse involving staff at CPS, contact us at the link in our bio.
