He has gotten excellent results for a range of clients, from  doctors, lawyers, inventors, and business executives, to employees in the construction, distribution, software and healthcare fields. Legal matters that Mr. Carter has resolved favorably, through either trial or settlement, include: complex business litigation, defamation, legal malpractice, partnership disputes, shareholder matters, wrongful termination, discrimination, Sarbanes-Oxley retaliation, whistleblower, and serious personal injury.

After representing primarily defendants for 12 years, Mr. Carter in 1996 began practicing with Julius Glickman. Since then, his practice has focused on representing plaintiffs in business and employment litigation. Mr. Carter was Julius Glickman's co-counsel in obtaining for three law firms a major arbitration award. Tanox, Inc v.

In May 2009, Mr. Carter was lead trial counsel for a patent holder in a legal malpractice case against a big international law firm. The jury returned one of the largest legal malpractice verdicts ever in Texas, and the case settled confidentially before entry of judgment.
