Charles Edward Rawlings's Lawyer Endorsements
"I have had the opportunity to work with Charles on several cases and I find his joint knowledge of medicine and the law to be a valuable asset in litigating medical malpractice cases. He is able to speak with expert witnesses and defendant physicians in their own language. I highly recommend Charles both as an attorney and as co-counsel."
"The extensive and impressive medical background Charles possesses affords him the unique ability to ascertain key components of a medical diagnosis, which allows Charles to more effectively advocate for clients he represents who have sustained serious injury due to medical negligence or some traumatic instance. Substantiating medical causation of injury of a client injured due to the negligence of a third party is the most important aspect of representing a client in an injury claim. I highly recommend Charles to attorneys in need of associating an attorney in representation of an individual who has sustained serious personal injury. Charles is also a tenacious advocate, who is not deterred in pursuing a client’s case simply due to the fact an insurance company denies the claim or takes a contrary view on valuation issues. In my opinion, any attorney that utilizes Charles will be extremely pleased with all aspects of his legal expertise in handling cases."
