Terry Lemons brings a unique blend of skills and experience as Frost Law’s Public Relations Director. From running communications and outreach for a major government agency to covering Congress and the White House as a reporter, Lemons has decades of experience inside and outside government.

During more than 26 years at the Internal Revenue Service, he played a pivotal role overseeing the tax agency’s communications and outreach efforts to taxpayers and tax professionals. His behind-the-scenes duties included advising six different IRS Commissioners, creating the IRS “Dirty Dozen” tax scams list in 2002, establishing the innovative IRS social media program as well as working closely with the tax professional and legal communities on tax compliance and taxpayer service issues.

Before retiring from government in February 2025, Lemons worked for 11 years as the IRS Chief of Communications and Liaison. He led a 325-person team and oversaw the agency’s work with the tax community, Congress, the news media as well as internal communications to 100,000 employees.

Before joining the IRS in 1998, Lemons spent 15 years as an award-winning newspaper reporter, including serving as Washington bureau chief of the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette. He covered the White House and Congress for the Little Rock-based newspaper following Bill Clinton’s victory in the 1992 presidential election.

During his government and journalism career, he has conducted hundreds of media interviews as the IRS senior spokesman, appearing everywhere from NBC’s Today Show and the PBS Newshour to dozens of major newspaper and radio outlets across the country.

After retiring from the IRS, Lemons continued his work in the tax community. He’s made more than a dozen speaking and podcasts appearances to provide an insider’s perspective on issues ranging from taxes and the IRS to the federal government and communications.

Lemons has also returned to his writing roots, with recent articles appearing in publications including Forbes.com and The Hill. A St. Louis native and a University of Missouri graduate, Lemons is a die-hard Cardinals fan. His first book – on baseball - was published in the summer of 2026. The Arcadia Publishing book is called "The Year St. Louis Became A Baseball Town: The Cardinals, Babe Ruth, & The 1926 World Series."
