This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

ruined my life!!!

my family hired Charles to defend me when I was a minor, he would never answer any of my family's questions and constantly missed appointments with me, I felt like Charles was working hand in hand with the prosecution. I was pressured by Charles and his partner to take a deal I wasn't comfortable wit...h as a minor. close to 10 years later Im working with a great legal team to have my charges overturned and my legal team has been surprised by the numerous lies in my case by the prosecution that my first attorney Charles never looked into. horrible lawyer, just out for a paycheck

Replied last April 27, 2023

I have no idea who "Matt" is. I've never had a juvenile client where I wouldn't answer a families question and I have never missed an appointment with any of my clients. I also would never pressure anyone to accept a plea deal since I routinely go to trial unless my client wants to negotiate a plea. So, "Matt", if you really were a former client (and I don't believe you were), feel free to put a full name to your post or have your new legal team reach out. If the case is 10 years old, I'm surprised you can find a legal team since you are out of time for either an appeal or a PCR.

Excellent Attorney and result

Hired Charlie for defense of a minor. Excellent attorney and is well respected by his peers. Explained exactly what would/could happen and delivered the result we were hoping for. Very personal and great guy to deal with.

Amazing Lawyer!

Charles Clark helped me out with a simple assault case. I was worried because I'm not one who typically gets into trouble. Charles explained to me the possibilities of what could happen and throughout the process up until the court date, we corresponded just so I can be more at ease about my case. Ch...arles was very knowledgeable about the possible outcomes, while at the same time talking to me in a calm, friendly, and courteous manner to make sure I felt more relaxed. If you have another lawyer and his name is not Charles Clark, I suggest you drop that lawyer and get this one. By the way, the outcome of my simple assault charge was that it was dismissed. Thank you again Charlie!!

Last of the good ones

Charlie is very competent, professional, focused and caring. He knew the law and used his knowledge to educate me, a person that is naively honest and a person that never experienced any legal issues was in great fear. He is a proactive, straight-shooter, optimistic attorney. His knowledge kept me... calm, I found him to be very detailed, a good listener and very trustworthy. For over a year, he was consistent, attentive, respectful, and didn't ignore my case after he had received payment. I always felt that I had hired the best! He was always early for our meetings, always prepared, never was distracted, never rude or condescending, did everything that he could for my case and performed as promised. Charlie always answered/returned my calls/texts and kept his word. I have never done a review and I'm not very trusting of attorneys, and Charlie knew it, I really feel that Charlie, who was a total stranger, really worked hard for me, as if I was his family!

Professional, friendly and reassuring!

Charles Clark is the most trustworthy attorney I've had. During my case he ensured I was well informed. When I had my consultation with him, he made me feel at ease. If I ever need legal assistance again, I already know who I'm hiring! Thanks Charles!

"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."
