Great guy

Excellent lawyer. Represented me well. Very professional. Looked at all the facts, asked lots of specifics to make sure he fully understood my circumstances. He did a very good job with my case, and I'm very satisfied. The first time I met him in court, left a long and lasting good impression t...hat he actually cared about my case, because at the end of the day, the case is what really matters, and he really cared about mine. He did the right thing and made sure I was fully represented in court. Good lawyer and good firm in general. I don't live in Maryland or have any friends in Maryland, but if I did, I'd recommend him to them ABSOLUTELY.

Excellent Work

Charlie was super helpful, got me a pretty sweet deal, and helped me out of a tight spot. He was always down to answer questions I had and explained everything thoroughly.

Great Job

In the small amount of time Mr Waechter had to work with my case he was able to look at the facts and specifics to make sure I got the best out of my situation. He was also able to work with me financially. I was free to go straight home in less then an hour at court. I highly recommend Mr. Charles L... Waechter if you have a criminal charge, DUI, and or DWI. Great Lawyer! Thank you!

Excellent representation

Mr. Waechter was very helpful at a very difficult time. A family member was charged with some very serious charges, and Mr Waechter helped us navigate the unfamiliar world of criminal law. Having no experience or expectations, he helped us with bail, defense, what to expect and how to plan. Internet ...porn is a very uncomfortable topic, and his representation helped us to get the charges set at a reasonable level, minimizing incarceration and handling counseling. I would definitely retain him again- although I pray i will not have to.

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.
