Tommy Carter

Tommy Carter is a Texas family law attorney at David S. Kohm & Associates, with 15 years of broad-based litigation experience. His current practice is devoted to family law matters, where he helps clients navigate difficult legal disputes with practical guidance and focused advocacy. Earlier in his career, he prosecuted and defended scores of personal injury law cases, including medical malpractice matters, giving him substantial courtroom experience and a well-rounded perspective on civil litigation and dispute resolution.

Tommy earned both his J.D. and B.A. in Economics from Southern Methodist University. His legal and economics education provided a strong foundation for litigation, negotiation, and case analysis across different areas of practice. That academic background supports his current family law work, where financial questions, competing interests, and complex legal issues often require careful evaluation, clear communication, and practical decision-making throughout negotiations, mediation, and courtroom proceedings for clients he represents.

Tommy handled a broad range of litigation and prosecuted and defended scores of personal injury cases before focusing his practice on family law. He obtained millions of dollars for clients in personal injury and medical malpractice matters. That experience strengthened his ability to evaluate evidence, prepare cases, negotiate disputed claims, and advocate effectively when a matter requires trial or other formal court proceedings for resolution and client protection in litigation.

Tommy Carter is a certified mediator and skilled negotiator who seeks to resolve cases in a cost-effective manner when possible. At the same time, his trial experience allows him to represent clients effectively in the courtroom when litigation becomes necessary. He is licensed by the Supreme Court of Texas and is also admitted to practice before the US District Courts for the Northern and Eastern Districts of Texas in federal matters.
