True Professional!

Never had prior experience with a lawyer but needed due to personal injury at work.Very upset & Chuck really listened to me & showed great compassion.Very up front regarding case & always kept us informed.Prepared us for mediation & right beside me during meeting. Also during deposition right beside... me in case I had question.Felt sense of comfort knowing he was there.Fair settlement reached & did not go to trial.However would not have been afraid knowing Chuck was there to advise.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • 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.
