Knowledgable, Empathetic to my situation, and Trustworthy

Charles has handled two cases for me. He is always available by phone, this is huge when you hire an attorney. He is diligent, aggressive, and knowledgeable. Very trustworthy and I would use him again should the need arise.

Posted by Francis | November 01, 2016

Knowledgeable and aggressive.

Chuck is the lawyer I go to when I want responsive advice in areas of law that are outside my range of daily expertise. He is tenacious and informed. Happy to give him a positive review.

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
