Let me tell you a little bit about me, my experience and my areas of expertise.. I went to the Cornell Law School and have over thirty years’ experience representing individuals, workers and unions in federal and local trial and appellate courts throughout the country. I am committed to representing the interests and rights of employees and injured individuals.  I have extensive jury trial experience.  In addition to the District of Columbia, I have tried cases throughout the country, from San Diego to Seattle, Tennessee to Maryland, and in Richmond and Alexandria, Virginia.  I am a member of the Board of Governors of the Trial Lawyers Association of Metropolitan Washington, D.C.. Having been a trial attorney for a major labor union for nine years and then a partner in a labor law firm for another nine years, I have considerable experience in employment law, including wrongful discharge, sex, race, and other forms of discrimination, labor law, employee benefits, “whistleblower” cases, individual employment contracts, non-compete agreements and severance benefits.. As one example of my trial experience, in March 1999, after an eleven day trial, a jury in Oakland California awarded a young airline pilot I represented, Kathleen Betts, over $1.5 million in a sex discrimination and defamation case against United Airlines. Betts v. United Airlines, Inc., Dkt. 97-4329 (U.S. Dist. Ct., N.D. Ca.); see also, 246 F.3d 672, 2000 WL 1728077 (9th Cir. 2000).. Over the last fifteen years I have also developed expertise in toxic tort and other complex personal injury cases, especially childhood and workplace lead poisoning cases.  I have recovered well over $12 million on behalf of lead poisoned children.. In April 2000, a jury awarded a lead poisoned child and his mother whom I represented, $1.6 million after an eight day trial in the District of Columbia Superior Court.  Gomez v. Atlantic Realty, Civ. 97-1151 (D.C. Sup. Ct.).  That is still the largest verdict and recovery for a lead poisoned child in the District of Columbia.  As the parent of a disabled son, I have a unique understanding of what it means to have a disabled child and a special passion for representing injured or disabled children in lead poisoning and other types of cases.. In another case, I represented a group of people forced from their homes by a gasoline spill from a gas station that resulted in a multimillion dollar settlement in 2002.  In 2003, I settled a premises liability case for almost $2 million.   Of course, I have also represented persons in more commonplace personal injury cases, such as car accidents, slip and fall cases, assaults, and so on.  There is no cost to you to retain me—I only earn my fee, if I produce results for you.. I started as a litigation and trial attorney on the staff of the Air Line Pilots Association, the largest pilots' union, for nine years.  After that I joined a small union-side labor law firm in Washington, D.C. and was there for another nine years, becoming a partner there.  I then joined the law firm of Koonz, McKenney, Johnson, DePaolis & Lightfoot, one of the top personal injury firms in the area, and spent five years with that firm.  In 2004 I decided to strike out on my own and open my own law office where I continue to represent injured workers, children and other persons with personal attention, skill and dedication.. I am a graduate of the University of Pittsburgh, spent three years in the Army during the Vietnam Era, was honorably discharged, and earned my law degree from the Cornell Law School. My wife of twenty-three years, Lynne, much my better half, I and our two adopted children, Stephen, who has cerebral palsy, and Alyssa, live in Arlington, Virginia.

Legal courtroom skills and soft persuasive methods applied to commercial and government situations. Big law firm partner experience; federal government Presidential appointee; management work; federal appellate court mediator success in resolving international disputes; small company business and startup entrepreneur.. I worked as a big-firm trial lawyer doing jury and non-jury trials in large cases, usually about technology issues, in state and federal courts. I also did a stint of government service in a Senate-confirmed presidential appointment as General Counsel for the U.S. Department of Defense. Then I joined a consulting firm, Wilsie Co. LLC, where (more or less) I can keep my own hours.. Wilsie Co provides legal and management consulting services including advice on litigation cases, risk assessments for potential settlement of litigation, case theory and design for courtroom presentations, management of multi-case litigation for corporations, and business management of litigation practice groups for law firms.

For the past eight years, The Best Lawyers in America has honored him for his prowess in three areas of law: employment law, litigation, and qui tam law. He has been recognized by Super Lawyers for 13 years running and named multiple times on its “Top 100” list for all D.C. lawyers — not just employment specialists. In 2021, Mr. Carter was ranked by Chambers, a prestigious global legal directory. In 2023, Mr. Carter was nominated by his colleagues to become a fellow of the prestigious College of Labor and Employment Lawyers.. Mr. Carter received his law degree in 1991 from the Georgetown University Law Center, where he served as editor-in-chief of the American Criminal Law Review. He began his legal career as a law clerk to the Hon. Oliver Gasch of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, then spent several years defending individuals and corporations in white-collar criminal cases.. A founding attorney at TELG, Mr. Carter has since dedicated most of his career to employment law. His white-collar defense experience gives him insight into the tactics of opposing counsel in whistleblower actions under the False Claims Act, among other laws.. Mr. Carter is known for his sharp command of detail, first honed as a defender in criminal cases where small facts can make or break a case. He now represents clients in a wide range of venues, from federal courts to state courts to arbitration to informal Zoom negotiations.. He is admitted to practice law in the District of Columbia, Virginia, and Maryland, and in many federal courts around the nation — including the U.S. Supreme Court.. Mr. Carter is a member of the National Employment Lawyers Association and the Metropolitan Washington Employment Lawyers Association. He is an active participant in two social clubs for attorneys: the Barristers, for which he serves as treasurer, and the Counsellors, for which he served as president from 2018 to 2019.. Beyond professional associations, Mr. Carter spends much of his free time in service to his community. He is currently the treasurer of Friends of Stead Park, an organization dedicated to redeveloping a local park for children in D.C. He is also an active member of the Order of Malta, a Catholic organization through which he has helped to plan 15 pilgrimages to Lourdes for ill people and their companions.. Since the start of the pandemic, Mr. Carter has revisited many of his childhood hobbies, including gardening and sports — especially racquet sports. Cooking and baking are another interest, inspired in part by his mother and one of his sisters, both of whom have formal culinary training.. As an avid socializer and connoisseur of minutiae, he really missed trivia nights during the lockdown.
