Posted by Trina | March 09, 2018 | Hired Attorney | DUI & DWI

Dedicated, caring and responsive!

I hired Charles to defend me when I got a DUI in February of 2017. It has been a very long and drawn out process that he's handled very professionally. He is very reassuring and understanding with all of my concerns and worries. He told me he would fight this with me to the end and he has done jus...t that. The process still isn't completely over but I feel he's there whenever I have questions or need reassurance that everything will be ok. He definitely works for the people, it's not all about money to him and that to me says something! I would recommend him to anyone!

Active and aggressive attorney protecting military veteran 5 star rating!

Charles K. Sunwabe answered my call to defend me from an alleged DUI and was not charged for over 30 days till Charles demanded charges be activated or set my client free.I was held for 37 days in Warren County Prison and believe the traffic stop was unlawful .I did cooperate with the city of Warre...n police and atty. Sunwabe showed professional standards and answered my Fiancees call right away and started the case.I would recommend him to any one who faces injustice to law that is unfair to citizens and I earned a 4 year degree from Edinboro University of PA.Have trust this atty will work for You Too!

My Son

Wow.... wow...what can I say I'm lost for words. Ive had several lawyers over the years...trying to get more time with my son ...lawyer after lawyer ... Finally after 10yrs of lawyers in and out of court fighting to spend more time with my son...Mr. Sunwabe took me on as a client. After my long str...uggles I had hired Mr, Sunwabe and BAM...he won my case and got everything i wanted and then some.... I would highly recommend him without any hesitation with ALL of your legal issues. I further hired him to handle all my legal issues now . On a final note i just cant say enough..Mr. Sunwabe is by far one of the best attorneys I have ever worked with. He is professional, straightforward and goes above and beyond and calls you right back or he will email,,text you back not days...later and you actually speak to him. Not like the lawyers i have had...I never really got to speak to only in court.

  • 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.
