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 Attorney and Support Staff

Charlie is an excellent attorney and surrounds himself with a top-notch team of attorneys, paralegals, and support staff. Both attorney and support staff are always responsive and easy to get a hold of when needed. The intangible that is impossible to fathom unless witnessed is Charlie's presence i...n the courtroom. His rapport with the prosecutors, colleagues, and most importantly the judges, is noticeable as soon as you step foot in the courtroom with him by your side. Do not underestimate the importance of this in the outcome of your case. I was facing jail time on multiple DUI offenses in addition to lose of income and custody of a child as a result of my poor decision. The outcome achieved was astounding and quite frankly shocked the other attorneys present in the courtroom. I was ultimately able to preserve the things that were important to me and able to move forward with my life. Call this attorney for any criminal case needs, you will not be disappointed.

DUI Charge

I was charged with DUI and causing an accident. Mr. Waechter handled my case masterfully. I couldn't be more pleased with his service. I heartily recommend him to all.

VERY PROFESSIONAL AND GREAT RESULTS!

Charles is a wonderful lawyer who takes the time to get to know all about you and your case so he can properly defend you when the time comes. He is very honest and will answer any questions that you may have. He was there every step of the way with his wise counsel. Really great lawyer to use for op...timal outcomes. I was on my third DUI charge and was facing a min of 90 days, and received none thanks to Charlie.

HIT AND RUN APPEAL

Mr Waecther corrected the mess my previous attorney put me in (2yrs probation, 2yr loss of my license, high court fines and fees) i had a consult and a followup before court. He was in court early and fought for my best intrest as an attorney should. I no longer have probation, i recieved my mva mone...y back. some of my court fees and i have the priviledge of driving again.

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.
