Biography

Hon. Terry Nestor is a judge for the Hamilton County Court of Common Pleas (General Division) in Ohio. He was elected to the bench on November 6, 2018.


Nestor received a B.A. in political science and history from Miami University in 1990. He went on to complete a J.D. at the University of Cincinnati College of Law in 1995.


After law school, Nestor began his legal career as a law clerk for the Hon. John P. O’Connor with the Hamilton County Court of Common Pleas (1995 to 1997). Two years later, he entered into private practice as an associate at Benesch, Friedlander, Coplan & Aronoff LLP before moving to Reminger Co. LLP to work as an associate in 1999. His areas of practice included class action product liability defense, professional liability defense, and medical malpractice.


Then, in 2003, Nestor left private practice to become a trial attorney for the City of Cincinnati. He first worked as a senior assistant city solicitor (2003 to 2006) before being named chief counsel in 2006. As such, Nestor defended city officials and employees in state and federal court. In 2014, he became the acting city solicitor and the following year was named deputy city solicitor, a position in which he was tasked with supervising the City’s courts divisions. Over the course of his tenure there, Nestor served as counsel to three mayors, several city managers and councilmembers, the Cincinnati Board of Health, and the Citizen’s Complaint Authority. He also argued cases in the First District Court of Appeals, the Ohio Supreme Court, and the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals.


Nestor has taught as an adjunct professor and served as a trial advocacy coach at the University of Cincinnati.
