Excellent Lawyer

I was charged with indescent exposure charges. I was on vacation back in June and after being at the hotel for only 3 hours i was arrest. I woke up in a jail cell not knowing what happen. I was told i was being charged with indescent exposure. I was drugged by someone putting something in my drink. I... then searched for the top lawyer in these matters bc i never been charged with anything in my life. Charlie was very aggresssive on this case for me. The final outcome was all charges dismissed. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND CHARLIE HE KNOWS HIS STUFF!!

Charles Waechter Review

A family member was charged with some very serious drug offenses in an Eastern Shore, MD county. It was a first offense but nevertheless, serious. We did our due diligence and spoke with several lawyers prior to consulting with Mr. Waechter. He was familiar with the judicial system in the county. Mr.... Waechter offered guidance and treatment options to strengthen the case. He was no nonsense. He met with us several times before trial. The case was actually resolved before trial at a status hearing. He was able to get all charges dropped except one and secured probation before judgement for that offense. We were very pleased with this outcome. We would definitely recommend Mr. Waechter for your legal problems.

Old Country Lawyer

After a lifetime with no legal issues I found myself facing serious charges, and up against the incredible resources of the State. I have been wowed with Mr. Waechter’s legal moves as my case has unwound over the last four years. I was fortunate to have been referred to him early in the process. A ma...gician in the courtroom!

Excellent representation

Mr. Waechter was very helpful at a very difficult time. A family member was charged with some very serious charges, and Mr Waechter helped us navigate the unfamiliar world of criminal law. Having no experience or expectations, he helped us with bail, defense, what to expect and how to plan. Internet ...porn is a very uncomfortable topic, and his representation helped us to get the charges set at a reasonable level, minimizing incarceration and handling counseling. I would definitely retain him again- although I pray i will not have to.

Mr. Waechter's professional expertise has enabled me to get through this and get my life back on track. I am extremely grateful for all his assistance with my case. T...hank you again, I would highly recommend this firm.
