Terrible charles

He takes no time to go into cost before he even hears about the details of your case you will never get a call from him to keep you up to date on your case whats being done is there any progress etc. he sent another attorney the day of my court date in which i never met did not even think to notify m...e that he wasnt coming to court for me i had to call him while at the court house in which he told me his partner was coming he couldnt make it, his partner didnt know ANYTHING about my case it was like a consultation 5 minutes before trial in which i was facing numerous felonies charles did absolutely nothing to prepare me for court what type of questions will be asked what evidence we have etc please save yourself the stress and money and DO NOT deal with this guy he is truly a disappointment to attorneys there are alot of attorneys do your research and dont leave your life in charles hands !

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!

Documentation Case

We were a client of Charlie’s, Nobody is perfect and sometimes things are overlooked that you’re supposed to report, this was a document case through the state for Social Security! We heard about Mr. Waechter and set up an appointment. We talk to him on the phone, then we made the appointment an...d the day we went in to meet with him he had already talk to the prosecutor and had things lined up . He was very professional and the day we went to court he was definitely The cats meow ! When we walked in the court room everybody turned to him with the most respect and addressed him by his first name , he had the best relationship with the judges, bailiffs and other attorneys. So glad we chose him to help us with our case we had the best results! Charlie’s staff was always respectful always return the phone calls and Charlie was always on top of things and always made you feel like you were somebody and respected you. Always listen and never cut you off. If you ever need a lawyer hire Charlie with his staff you won’t regret it. Feeling very blessed !

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.
