Terr earned a B.A. from the University of Colorado in 1968 and a J.D. from Suffolk University in 1982. He was admitted to practice in Massachusetts in 1982 and New Mexico in 1987, and he is admitted to the U.S. Tax Court. His education and admissions support a practice that combines legal analysis with long familiarity with tax administration, regulatory procedures, and disputes involving government decision-making and administrative records.

Terr spent much of his career working for government entities, including a municipality in the Boston metropolitan area and the New Mexico Taxation and Revenue Department. His state service involved multiple tax programs, property tax matters, driver license revocations, dealer and recycler compliance, administrative hearings, regulatory compliance, protests, and litigation. He also served on a Plain Language Committee. This background gives him direct experience with agency processes, administrative decision-making, and disputes arising under tax and motor vehicle regulations.

Lewis J. Terr brings decades of government and regulatory experience to clients dealing with tax, licensing, dealership, and administrative matters. His work is informed by experience inside public agencies as well as private legal practice. He helps clients identify the governing rules, understand agency procedures, prepare for hearings or appeals, and address compliance questions with a practical view of how administrative systems operate. That perspective is especially useful in matters where legal rights depend on detailed regulatory processes.
