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.

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 !

T...hank you again, I would highly recommend this firm.

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.
