About Darryl

Since graduating from The University of Texas School of Law in 1984, Darryl Carter has successfully tried a broad cross-section of civil cases before judges, juries and arbitration panels. 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. Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld L.L.P., et al., 105 S.W.3d 244 (Tex.App.-Houston [14th Dist.] 2003, pet. denied). 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.

Mr. Carter is a frequent speaker at Continuing Legal Education seminars hosted by law schools and bar associations across the state, including the State Bar of Texas, The University of Texas School of Law, the University of Houston Law School, South Texas College of Law, the Houston Bar Association, and the Dallas Bar Association.
