also known as Dennis Charles
Attorney Dennis G. Charles has spent over 40 years fighting for justice on behalf of his clients, gaining recognition across the country for his sharp legal mind and unwavering dedication. After graduating cum laude from Muhlenberg College and earning his law degree from Temple University, he began practicing law in 1979 alongside his brother Fredrick. Over the years, Dennis has served in key roles, including Assistant Solicitor for Lehigh County and Deputy Commissioner of the Pennsylvania State Athletic Commission. His legal work covers a wide range of matters—criminal defense, personal injury, medical malpractice, family law, and civil rights litigation—reflecting his broad commitment to standing up for those in need. He has built a reputation for representing individuals facing mental health involuntary commitments, handling more than 15,000 of these cases and securing several notable Not Guilty by Reason of Insanity (NGRI) verdicts.
Dennis has made appearances on national media outlets such as A&E’s “American Justice” and Court TV, and is recognized with an “AV Preeminent” rating by his peers. Away from the legal world, he is a licensed pilot, enjoys golf and skiing, and is deeply involved in animal welfare causes. These personal passions often intersect with his legal work, leading him to take on cases involving aviation, sports, and animal law. Known for his determination in the courtroom and his strategic approach to complex cases, Dennis continues to stand out as an accomplished, leading trial lawyer in Pennsylvania.
