 “Johnny Carter always seems to be about three steps ahead of everyone in the room.” - analysis by Benchmark Litigation 


For 25 years, Johnny Carter has fought relentlessly for the success of his clients in all types of high stakes lawsuits. He is based in the Houston office of Susman Godfrey L.L.P., where he handles cases across the United States. 


Johnny tries and wins cases, like the multi-million-dollar judgment that he won in state court in Houston for a small supplier of ceramic proppant, after a jury awarded his client 100% of its damages in a U.C.C. case. But he also has a track record of pursuing and obtaining pretrial victories that resolve cases in his clients’ favor without trial – such as a rare plaintiff-side summary judgment victory in a breach of contract case involving a dispute over cellular service in rural north Texas. 


Johnny handles a wide variety of cases, for both plaintiffs and defendants, and for individuals, small companies, and big companies. This gives him a broad perspective and experience that he can bring to bear on behalf of his clients. He has deep experience in breach of contract, business tort, antitrust, securities fraud, False Claims Act, and environmental cases.
