Mr Carter handled our DWI case with the utmost professionalism and really cared about the outcome. He and his staff kept my son updated and on track for completing milestones and this was all during 20-21 debacle. Our family can’t thank him and his staff enough for helping us through it all.

I came to Mr. Carters office and he had me explain what happened, how we got here, and what’s next etc. He was able to keep me ahead of the ball on some situations and helped me to progress in the process with no hang ups. With his many years as a defense attorney, he has a heavy reputation and everyone knows him and he knows everyone. Lastly, the element I take away is that each visit he had some insightful wisdom and a lesson to be learned for what had been done.

Mr. Carter was referred to me from a good friend who I've known for a while and it was by far the best referral I could ever have gotten. Don fought for me as if he was my own father. He got me more than I would have ever expected. I've dealt with many lawyers in past and most of them were trash even after paying them good money. Don has been at this business a long time and it shows in the courtroom. He gets much respect from the judges and prosecutors and trust me that goes a long ways. If your in need of a good lawyer who will fight for you and is not all about money then look no further than Mr. Carter and his assistant Celia! I couldn't be more happy with the results.

Mr. Carter treated us with the utmost respect. Our case was misrepresented when it was handed to Mr. Carter and he ironed out the wrinkles and got us the best result possible. It is obvious he is highly respected in the courts. I highly recommend Mr. Carter for your legal needs.

I had only recently become aware of the significant punishment I could receive with the grossly exaggerated charges brought against me   by the prosecutor's office. Because of this, I sat with trepidation as the bailiff called the morning docket, asking each respondent if and with whom they'd arranged counsel. When my name was called, I said, "Present. my attorney is Mr. Don Carter". The bailiff looked up at me briefly before turning to the court clerk to ask, "If you ever found yourself in legal trouble and needed to hire an attorney, who would you choose?" "Oh, without a doubt, I'd ask Don Carter to represent me." The bailiff responded, "I'd have to agree", before turning back to me to say, "Don will likely come walking through those doors in a minute, sprinkle some pixie dust around and have you off to a vacation in the Caribbean before lunch time." Well, there was no trip to the Caribbean. What I got instead, was so much better, the chance to spend Thanksgiving and Christmas back together with my wife and daughter as a family. The local police, prosecutor's office, courts and legal system as a whole seemed hell-bent on forcing a temporary misunderstanding to escalate to the destruction of a family. My account of the exchange between me, the bailiff, and clerk is absolutely true and authentic. Over a number of subsequent appearances I'd come to appreciate, even more, the level of peer respect and admiration shown to Mr Carter in the courtroom (and everywhere). Mr Carter has been doing this, and doing it well, for many years. I offer my resounding endorsement of J Don Carter & Associates PC to anyone seeking the very highest level of legal defense possible.

I can not say enough about how amazing this man is and his staff. He went above and beyond any expectations I may have had. He worked tirelessly to ensure that I was given a fair chance. I would recommend him and only him in any case

Faced with three charges of aggravated sexual assault, one of which carried a minimum 25 years to life imprisonment if convicted, I knew that just being innocent was not enough to protect me from imprisonment. I also knew that at my age I could not survive a 25-year minimum sentence. I did my research and found the best lawyer I could to handle my defense – Don Carter. This lawyer and three not guilty verdicts saved my life, my family’s lives, and restored my freedom. Without expert counsel I would have died in prison."

Attorney Don Carter was very helpful in getting my son's state charges dropped. My son had already plead guilty to Federal charges that were pretty much identical in nature. One of the major problems that still existed was he could not have any state charges pending when sentenced for the Federal crimes. If he did then none of the year and a half he had already been in jail would count for time served. Furthermore, he would have had to go answer for the state charges separately. Don spoke to the prosecuting attorney on my son's behalf and was able to get the state charges dropped. Mr. Carter made us feel at ease about the whole horrible situation. I hope we NEVER need to....but if so, I'd definitely hire Don Carter again.

Mt. Carter has extensive experience and in my case he was very thorough and got me the best results possible with what we had to work with. His secretary, Celia, was always helpful and went out of her way to see that I had all the paperwork I needed and that I was taking the appropriate post trial steps

If you have any type of criminal issue in Tarrant county I STRONGLY encourage you to set an appointment with Mr. Carter. He is unpretentious and walks softly with a big stick. His ability to navigate through the complex inner workings of the system are what he does best. In order for an attorney to truly be effective he / she needs to have friends in the system and Mr. Carter is both beloved by his contemporaries and very well respected. HIRE THIS GUY!!

Mr. Carter treated me with respect. Handled my case and got me the best plea. I am very happy with the representation he provided me in handling my case. I would highly recommend Mr. Carter.

Mr. Carter represented our son in a federal drug case & we feel he was very effective in our son receiving a much lesser sentence than anyone expected!
