Charles McCarter

When entering our office, you might hear a very cheerful male voice that could bring a smile to even the grumpiest curmudgeon. That voice belongs to Charles C. McCarter, McCarter & Greenley, LLC's Managing Partner. Along with brightening the day of those he meets, McCarter has an uncanny knack for making complex legal concepts understandable.

Previously, McCarter was Managing Partner of Gage & Tucker's (now Lathrop & Gage's) St. Louis office and a partner in Husch & Eppenberger, both multi-state law firms. In those firms, he carried on a comprehensive practice in estate and financial planning, business law, tax law, real estate law and administrative law. He also maintained a litigation and appellate law practice.

He has served as a Professor of Law at Stetson University College of Law and at the University of Tulsa College of Law. Additionally, he has held several state and federal political offices. He is on the boards of the Salvation Army and KETC Channel 9.

McCarter has participated in cases heard by the United States Supreme Court, United States Court of Appeals and the Kansas Supreme Court. He has also served as a Securities Hearing Examiner and as an expert witness.

McCarter co-authored The Missouri Lawyer's Guide, a two-volume work covering both federal and state law. He has also authored numerous professional articles and has addressed many seminars.

He received a Juris Doctorate degree from Washburn University, and a Master of Laws degree from Yale Law School. During his teaching tenure, he was a Visiting Scholar at Yale Law School. For a number of years, he has been a biographee in Who's Who in America.

McCarter is a member of the American Bar Association and its Business Law and Real Property, Probate and Trust Law sections, Missouri and Kansas Bar Associations and the St. Louis Estate Planning Council.
