About Charles

My main strength is my trial experience. I spent many years trying complex criminal cases for every type of criminal offense. I do not worry about being taken advantage of in plea negotiations because I have the confidence to go to trial on any case.

I stress to my clients that my firm takes a trial posture on every case. We do not go to trial on every case and are often successful in our plea negotiations. But our clients do have all of the options available to them and can feel confident that they will have an excellent chance of success if they choose to go to trial.

As a criminal defense lawyer, I really feel strongly about protecting my client’s rights, ensuring that the State has sufficient proof to even charge my client and protecting my client from being pressured into sacrificing his constitutional rights.

Charles and I handled a case where he represented the wife and I represented the husband. From what I witnessed, he kept his client well informed, was punctual and was prepared.

I recently watched Charles in action in a highly contentious and emotional trial. He did an excellent job. I was especially impressed with his measured trial techniques, timely objections and professional demeanor. He had a superior grasp of all of the factual and legal aspects of the case and certainly served his client well under trying circumstances. You would be well served with him as your criminal defense counsel.

Charlie and I had codefendants in a CDS case in Monmouth County. His command of the law and trial skills were impressive. He is wonderful at cross-examining witnesses and I learned a lot from watching him.
