Background & Education

Jacqulyn has worked for The Terry Law Firm for many years in different capacities. She joined the family practice as an Attorney in 2010. Jacqulyn practices in many areas but primarily focuses on Social Security Disability.

“Spending time at the firm as I was growing up and seeing my family help people and what a difference it can make in their lives,” Jacqulyn says when asked what inspired her to become a lawyer.  “I knew I wanted to help people the same way.”

Jacqulyn grew up in Bulls Gap and Morristown, Tennessee. She is the daughter of Chuck Terry and Jack and Becki Gaut. She graduated from All Saints Episcopal School in 1997, Morristown East High School in 2001, and Walters State Community College in 2003. She received her B.S. from East Tennessee State University in 2005. In May 2010, Jacqulyn earned her Doctor of Jurisprudence at the Nashville School of Law. She is licensed to practice in all State and Federal Courts in Tennessee. Jacqulyn is a member of the National Organization of Social Security Claimants’ Representatives.

When asked what she loves most about her job, Jacqulyn says, “Working with disabled clients, you see people that have worked their whole life lose a job due to injury and illness and they can really struggle. I hate to see people go through that, and when you are able to help them navigate that time and help them get the benefits they deserve is very rewarding.” 

She very much enjoys working at the firm with her family. “We have such a great team and that is really hard to come by,” Jacqulyn says.

Locally, Jacqulyn is involved in the community by serving on the board of Ridin’ High Therapeutic Horse Riding program, dedicated to helping disabled individuals and Friends of Bethesda.

Jacqulyn is married to Brad Jones, who is also an attorney. They have a daughter, Emery Claire, who keeps them very busy. Jacqulyn enjoys riding horses, traveling, spending time with my family and friends and good food.
