impressive

I hired this firm to handle my case after a consult visit. They were very well informed of the laws and such pertaining to my case. My case was actually laid out in steps of what to expect to happen and it all fell into place as was described to me. The staff is very helpful keeping you involved in t...he goings on of your case. Dealing with the court system is a chore and the Waechter's office made the experience "comfortable" with their knowledge, explanations and information while keeping me involved every step of the way! Thanks Shawn!

Experience does matter

Mr. Waechter, including his staff and associates, systematically provided an aggressive defense for the erroneous sex abuse charges brought forth against me from my disgruntled relations! Having an attorney with the experience to navigate the seriously flawed judiciary system is a must.

Excellent representation in a very difficult case

Mr. Waechter from day one was effective, non-judgemental, and very professional in all matters regarding my case. I was charged with multiple felony charges, and from the start, he knew every step to take, and guided me thru. He directed me to enter counseling immediately, and to submit to several ...other processes, and in every case, these were the correct steps to take. He worked closely with the court, and was able to plea my case, and keep me out of jail. I was truly lucky to find him, and would highly recommend his services to anyone facing serious charges. Listen to his advice!

Excellent Defense Attorney

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.

child porn

One of my children came across child porn on the internet and curiousity caused this individual to continue looking at it. Eventually, an opportunity came across to share images and not knowing how wrong it was, my child engaged in this activity. This caused a search of my home and my child, a juv...enile, was charged. This was perhaps the most frightening experience ever encountered for my child and myself. Charles Waechter knew exactly what to do. He recommended evaluations and counseling that would be required by the prosecutor to ensure that my child did not truly harbor any intentions of harming the victims at that time or in future life. Charles Waechter and his office were extremely professional and responsive to any questions or concerns I had during this period of time. I always received a response immediately or within a few hours of calling. When the case went before the juvenile court, we had accomplished all Charles' recommendations. The court was satisfied. I would recommend Charles Waechter to anyone in a similar situation.

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.
