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!

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 !

My daughter hired Charles Waechter while I was in jail for two days. He was recommended by her friend. The charges were first and second degree assault which could of been 10 years in jail. He was able to get me out of jail on my own recognizance. By the time I went to court Mr. Waechter was able to... get my first degree assault charge dropped plus I was only given one year of unsupervised probation. I was very thankful. The only drawback was his fee of $17,000.

CHARLES WAECHTER IS THE BEST LAW FIRM EVER TO ME

Mr Charles Waechter law firm represented me in case against the Maryland Board of Nursing. False Charges was pending against me for Revocation of my Certified Med Tech license. I owe everything to Charles Waechter's Law Firm Mr Waechter represented me like I was Royalty. Mr Waechter had a brilla...nt. lawyer to represent me. I won my case against the Maryland Board of Nursing with great ease and satisfaction. Mr Waechter accepted my case without the full balance being paid to him and he has held over the balance of what I dtill owe his firm due to Economic Hardship I will always be thankful to attorney Charles Waechter and his law firm for saving my Med Tech License. I will always hire him to represent me Charles Waechter is the Best in the law business his firm is an Outstanding Law Firm Thank You Mr. Charles Waechter Happy Holidays

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.
