Outstanding - highly recommended
Chuck is an excellent, no nonsense lawyer. He did an outstanding job dealing with my ex and her lawyer. I just wish I had found him earlier as my prior lawyers do not compare to Chuck's excellence.

Nope, nope, nope....

When I first talked to him he spent time with me and explained everything. After a few months, he got lazy, rude, and was overwhelmed with too many cases, and DOU...
I have never failed to file paperwork. I have not been fired by anyone in the memorable past. I have not double billed anyone and I have never charged anyone for copies of anything. This post is a flat out lie. I challenge this anonymous user to call me or better yet, report these lies to the Bar Association so your issue can be dealt with appropriately. With an investigation. There is no doubt that will never occur. I stand behind my clients, my service and my billing practices. I have never had a complaint about my billing or client service with the Bar Association.

For a number of years after my divorce I have unfortunately had ongoing matrimonial related legal issues which he has represented me for. He never pushes being overl...
"Chuck is a fierce advocate for his clients. I frequently refer my matrimonial and custody clients to Chuck, and I would trust him with my own and most personal matters. I endorse this lawyer."
