Charles L. Waechter

Charlie Waechter embodies the best qualities of what every defense lawyer should have to effectively represent his clients. He was very honest in evaluating my case and explicit about the potential legal consequences of my actions. If you're looking for someone to hold your hand and tell you everythi...ng will be fine then you should look elsewhere but it's your future at stake and anyone telling you not to worry doesn't have your best interests in mind. Charlie fought vigourously for me in my case and was ultimately able to get secure a very positive outcome. It wasn't everything I had hoped for but it was significantly better than what I could have expected. He was always available to answer any questions or concerns and always presented himself in a congenial but professional manner. He referred me to a great therapist that not only helped me with my case but has also helped me recover from the mental and psychological problems that contributed to my offense. He also provided me with solid advice and assistance with routine issues like bail. I seriously believe my legal outcome would be significantly worse if I had chosen a different attorney to represent me.

From the day I met him, Mr. Waechter was confident and reassuring about my DUI case. My case proceeded exactly as he said it would from the beginning to its conclusion. I was able to get the most favorable outcome possible for my case. I particularly appreciate Mr. Waechter's promptness in communicat...ion throughout the year for which my case lapsed. He was extremely knowledgable in the matters at hand, and spent extra time and effort to explore the unique circumstances of my case as I am a resident of another state charged in Maryland. It was very reassuring and comforting to have him fighting on my side. I would recommend his services to anyone looking for an experienced, professional, and reliably attorney.

Charles Waechter was hired by me to represent my son who was charged in several felony counts. Mr Waechter performed his duties with the highest standard possible. I was very pleased with his service on all counts. He was exceptionally knowledgeable, extremely well networked and effective. He was... responsive throughout the ordeal keeping us well informed and up to date. There is no question that I would recommend Mr Waechter to anyone needing representation in Maryland. There is no one better than Charles Waechter when you are in trouble in Maryland.

Mr. Waechter initially seemed very confident regarding my DWI case. He then proceeded to recommend the most expensive Drug and Alcohol Program in the area, was impossible to get a hold of, and took no more than 2 minutes of his time to talk with me before my trial date, despite many contact attempts.... We met 5 minutes before my trial, at which point he told me his "plan" to plead no contest and "hope" for a lenient sentence. Mr. Waechter did not put any effort into this case, and was a complete waste of money.
