Great Lawyer

My husband and I recently hired Charles as a lawyer. He was very pleasant to speak with. He was very knowledgeable and dedicated to getting our situation solved. He went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of. I would highly recommend him as a lawyer.

Hope is what he gave me

I was criminally charged and called around for lawyers. Mr. Sunwabe was the only one that spoke to me on the phone immediately. We scheduled an appointment to meet and discuss my case. He looked at everything I had which wasnt much because I didn't have the papers from court yet. He told me not to wo...rry that he would try to get this knocked down to a summary but to follow his instructions exactly. Court finally came he came in like a rock star and delivered what he promised. The only reason this is a 4 and not a 5 is the lack of communication. I would text or leave a message and sometimes would have to call or text until I got an answer.

Highly recommended

Charles was so incredible! He cares personally about your situation and makes it a priority to get you the best possible result. He was there for me from beginning to end and knew I was terrified throughout the process, but I always knew he had my back. Extremely recommended!

Outstanding lawyer

Attorney Sunwabe did an excellent job representing me. He is extremely personable and responded to all of my calls. He was diligent in his work which is evident in the court room. He was available at any hour and was very reassuring and easy to work with. I would recommend attorney Sunwabe to any...one who requires legal council.

Very disappointing

We hired Charles Sunwabe in February of 2019 and he was very helpful in the beginning. Once we paid him, he began asking for more money and even failed to tell us the date of our trial hearing. Over $1,700 down the drain because we are still trying to iron a situation that he was paid to help us with... and did not.

  • 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.
