About Lydia Terrill

Lydia Terrill has been practicing family law exclusively for eight years. After receiving her Juris Doctor from Drexel University Thomas R. Kline School of Law in 2014, Lydia spent over five years working as an associate at a family law firm in Montgomery County. In 2020, Lydia founded her own successful solo family law practice, which she ran from 2020 until 2023, when she joined the Law Office of Christina M. DeMatteo LLC.

Lydia has been recognized as a Rising Star by Super Lawyers Magazine for the years 2020-2023, a highly selective given to just 2.5 percent of lawyers in Pennsylvania.

Lydia has chosen to limit her practice to family law, including the areas of divorce, equitable distribution, spousal support/alimony, child custody, child support, protection from abuse, and prenuptial agreements. She has experience handling all aspects of family law matters, from the beginning of the case to the end. She prides herself on her ability to help clients find creative, efficient, amicable solutions to their family law matters, but she is prepared to go to court when necessary.

Lydia is an active member of the Montgomery, Philadelphia, and Pennsylvania Bar Associations. She routinely speaks and writes about family law matters. In 2020, Lydia published a book through the American Bar Association entitled The Family Law Practitioner’s Guide to Social Security, Second Edition. In December 2020, Lydia coordinated a half-day seminar for the Family Law Section of the Montgomery Bar Association entitled “Parenting in a Pandemic,” which featured a discussion among Montgomery County judges, hearing officers, and practitioners of the pandemic’s impact on support and custody cases.

Lydia grew up on the Main Line, in the suburbs of Philadelphia. She graduated from the Baldwin School and went on to receive her bachelor’s degree from The George Washington University. After graduating from GW, Lydia moved to the Mt. Airy section of Philadelphia, where she fell in love with the Northwest Philadelphia area. She moved downtown to attend law school in 2011, but always knew she would return to the area. In 2017, Lydia moved to Chestnut Hill with her husband to start their family and in 2022, moved to Ambler, Pennsylvania.
