Horrible. John Carter, Trey Carter, (whoever it is) is awful at handling DWIs. If he is assigned as a public defender, I would immediately apply for a different one. Barely any communication unless you call him yourself. Also good luck trying to ask to file a form through him as he will tell you, “I honestly don’t know how to do it” but will then proceed to tell you step-by-step on how to do it. Then requests the court to charge me money for his services after conviction of a ridiculous amount when he didn’t even do a damn thing except read some stuff to me over the phone that I already knew and show up to court on my behalf. Absolutely god awful representation and would not recommend to anyone.

Disappointed, I called for potential representation and was pretty much dismissed immediately. I will not use them for anything in future based on that one call alone.

Was assigned John T Carter 3 as a public defender… my case got dismissed and nobody notified me… I never met him and the only time I ever spoke to him was when he was basically telling me I needed to pay him an obscene amount of money for him to actually do his job even though he was my assigned public defender… he didn’t even know my case had been dismissed until I called him and told him… highly suggest anybody assigned to him as a public defender just goes and gets a private lawyer… I suggest Houser Law Firm, they genuinely care about people and charged me less than what this so called public defender was trying to charge me… found the entire year long experience draining and pointless with him like putting cake batter in an oven that isn’t on
