Helped me with my green card case

last year I was in a dire need of an attorney to help me with my green card case.. I consulted with many lawyers in the area till I found Charles. He was willing to come to his office on a Saturday to consult with me .it was a truly free consultation not the kind other lawyers give just to see how m...uch they can get to then just cut you off because they can't make a lot of money from your case. Charles took my case and guide me through step by step. I could call him anytime not through an assistant but directly, and he was available to answer my questions. If you wanna know how dedicated he is, the day of my interview he drove from Erie to Buffalo through a heavy snow storm to attend at no extra charges. we sent the paperwork in august and in January I was a permanent U.S resident and my wife and I are really grateful to him

Complete Professional

Couldn't be happier with any other legal advisor. Contacted Charles about my divorce and he was quick to assess my situation and deliver the best solution. He was prompt and help with understanding all that was happening.

Working man's lawyer

Attorney Sunwabe expertly guided me through my DUI case from start to finish, allowing me to focus my time and energy on my own work and family life without worrying about facing jail time or other repercussions. He considered my individual case and worked with me on his fees, never failing to answer... questions or address the concerns I had throughout the entire process. Charles was very open and approachable when I needed him, unlike a few other attorneys I consulted before deciding to hire him. It came as no surprise to see how the court staff recognized and respected him when it came time to face my charges. I'd highly recommend attorney Sunwabe to anyone in need of legal help.

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!

Honest, Committed, and Clear

I hired Charles when starting my business in 2012. He explained everything step by step, honest, and clear from structuring the company, contracts and keeping the business well protected. Every since, to present day he handles any situation that may arise professionally and prompt with the companies ...best intrest at heart.
