About Charles
Biography
I've been practicing criminal defense for over fifteen years, mostly in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. I'm one of a few Bucks County attorneys qualified to handle capital murder cases, and I've handled countless DUI's as well. When you or a loved one has been charged with a crime or juvenile offense you need an experienced trial attorney. We have offices in Doylestown and Levittown.

Helped with Divorce/custody
Charles helped with some custody meetings. It helped having someone that was confident and knowledge in the field. He was polite towards the other lawyer but got what needed done in a professional manner.
