Exceptional service

I hired attorney Waechter because I was charged with harassment while in Maryland. I am from Pennsylvania so it became more complex. Not only did attorney Waechter have the warrant for my arrest changed to a summons to appear in court, but got the charges dropped when the hearing took place. He spoke... to the DA and was able to convince her to not pursue the charges against me. His staff was also very helpful and kind. I recommend attorney Waechter, he works hard for his clients.

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!!

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 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 !

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. 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.
