At twenty-five years old, she was admitted to practice law in the State of New Jersey, the State of New York and the United States District Court-New Jersey.
After law school, Ms. Terry worked as an Associated at two major New Jersey law firms. A month after she was admitted to practice law, she worked on a Discrimination case that resulted in a $500, 000 award on behalf of the firm’s client.

Ms. Terry briefs have resulted in reversals of convictions in other matters in the New Jersey Superior Court-Appellate Division.
Ms. Terry has handled hundreds of matters in the Superior Court of New Jersey in the Criminal, Civil and Family Parts . She has received not-guilty verdicts, dismissals, suppressions of evidence, denials of terminations of parental rights and civil awards.
