Thank You Charlie

Charlie Mellies is a phenomenal trial attorney, and it wouldn’t be unfair for me to say that he saved my life. Within his areas of expertise he’s probably better than or as good as any other trial attorney that you’ll find in the United States. He’s very smart, he’s very confident, and he speaks with... an authoritative voice that commands the attention of every person in the courtroom. The past several months of my life were a combination of frightening, saddening, depressing and disturbing. After an ugly breakup with a crazy ex, I was presented with some very serious allegations and charges that would have been life-altering for me. For several months I endured endless court dates, continuations, and sleepless nights, and Charlie never wavered on his commitment to win the case. He and his team at the Law Office of DummitFradin worked tirelessly to unseal evidence that was critical in successfully disproving the State’s case against me and thus critical in reaching my “Not Guilty” verdict. I personally don’t expect to have any more rodeos with the judicial system, but if any of my family members ever asks me for a trial attorney recommendation, I will recommend Charlie Mellies to them because he's a winner.
