This week we say goodbye to some incredible team members.

Sara Elias - a rising high school senior who is going to do so much good in this world. She’s brilliant and hilarious and grounded and so well-rounded. We’ve had the honor of having her with us for two summers and will miss her quick wit and bright smile.

Sophia Santoyo - a rising 3L who we’re all so thrilled to see continue her law school journey, and so gutted to see leave. Sophia has a quiet confidence, sharp mind, and kind heart that will serve her clients extraordinarily well. We’re so grateful to have been part of the early days of her legal career.

Zac Watson - our intake assistant who is leaving but not really leaving. Zac leaves us physically to move to Germany to continue his professional basketball career. Luckily for us he’s continuing his work in our intake team part time from an ocean away. And don’t worry, we’ll keep yall updated on his season!

From all of us at CLG, we love you guys, we’re so proud to have had you with us, and we’re so excited to see where you go next. 💚

Juneteenth reminds us that freedom delayed is freedom denied.

On June 19, 1865, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued, enslaved people in Texas finally learned they were free.

Today, we honor the resilience, strength, and contributions of Black Americans, while reflecting on the ongoing pursuit of equality, justice, and opportunity for all.

As a Texas-based law firm, we recognize the significance of this day in our state's history and remain committed to advocating for fairness, dignity, and equal treatment in our communities and workplaces.

The CLG offices are closed today in recognition of the Juneteenth holiday.

This month, we’re celebrating two women who have become such an important part of Carter Law Group over the last year: Kyndal Hetmer and TaNia Robinson.

Kyndal stepped into litigation and immediately became someone our attorneys and clients can rely on. Organized, steady, thoughtful, and constantly willing to jump into the hard stuff, she helps keep complicated cases moving forward while making clients feel supported through some of the most difficult moments of their lives.

TaNia is often one of the very first voices people hear when they contact our firm, and she handles that responsibility with so much compassion and care. Intake is not easy work. It requires patience, empathy, boundaries, and the ability to navigate people through incredibly emotional situations. She does all of that while somehow still making everyone around her laugh.

This year has brought growth, change, challenges, and a lot of long days. Both of them have helped shape this team in ways bigger than their job descriptions.

To celebrate their one-year anniversaries, we gave them bracelets that say “Fight Like A Mother” because that mindset lives in the work they do every single day.

We’re lucky to have them. ❤️

We’re still incredibly proud of this result and the women who had the courage to see it through.

A unanimous jury awarded $1.5 million to two former in-house attorneys at LSU after finding retaliation tied to concerns about gender pay equity.

Cases like this matter not just for the clients involved, but for the legal community as a whole. Speaking up about inequity inside the profession takes real courage.

As Amy Carter said in the article: “This verdict reflects the power of persistence, accountability, and having the courage to keep fighting for what is right.”

Proud of our clients. Proud of our team at Carter Law Group. Proud of the work.

We spent Cinco de Mayo painting pots, planting succulents, and setting goals for May and the rest of the year.

It was fun, a little chaotic, and honestly a good reminder that intentional culture matters. Especially in a field that can be heavy and emotionally draining sometimes.

The people here work incredibly hard. Taking time to reconnect, laugh, and talk about where we’re headed together matters more than people realize.

Last week was a big week for our firm, and we are thrilled with the results.

On Friday, a unanimous jury in the Eastern District of Louisiana returned a $1.5 million verdict for our clients, Katherine Muslow and Meredith Cunningham in their retaliation case against LSU.

Kathy and Meredith are attorneys. They understood the system they were up against. They knew how hard this would be. And they chose to move forward anyway.

This case was not a straight path. It was dismissed on summary judgment. It went up to the Fifth Circuit. It came back down on very narrow issues. And still, they kept going.

That matters.

Because cases like this are not just about one moment or one decision. They are about whether people are willing to keep pushing when it would be easier to walk away. Whether they are willing to have their experiences questioned, minimized, and picked apart in public. Whether they are willing to trust the process, even when the process gets hard.

Kathy and Meredith kept fighting for what they knew was right.

And today, a jury heard them.

This verdict does not undo what they went through. But it does something important. It says that their voices mattered. That their experiences were real.
That accountability still exists.

We are incredibly proud of them.

We are also proud of the team that stood beside them. This case was tried by our Managing Shareholder, Amy Carter, and our Head of Litigation, Kassi Yukevich, who tried an incredibly case against incredibly stacked odds.

This is why we do this work.

Not because it is easy. Not because it is quick. But because sometimes, after all of it, the system works the way it is supposed to.

And when it does, it matters.

Amy Carter has been named a 2026 D Magazine Best Lawyer (again!).

If you’ve worked with her, you know why. She’s sharp, honest, and shows up for her clients in a way that actually matters. No fluff, no posturing, just really good lawyering and a lot of heart behind it.

It’s always nice to see her work recognized, even when it’s not surprising.

Grateful to get to build this with you, Amy!

“We investigated and took appropriate corrective action.”

It sounds right. It reads well in a policy. And a lot of employers assume that’s enough.

But under Texas law, “corrective action” isn’t about checking a box—it’s about whether the employer actually stopped the harassment, prevented it from happening again, and protected the employee who spoke up.

Too often, we see responses that look good on paper but don’t go far enough in practice—delayed investigations, minimal discipline, or solutions that leave the reporting employee just as exposed as before.

Amy Carter breaks down what corrective action really requires, where employers tend to get it wrong, and what that means when these cases are evaluated.

We’re proud. Of the work. Of the people. Of what we’re building.

And we’re just getting started.
