Very Helpful!!
My son received a speeding ticket in a school zone going 44 in a 25. Mr. Anderson represented us in court. He got the ticket reduced to 5 over the speed limit and out of a school zone!!!! Very satisfied with the results. He put my mind at ease with answering all my questions that I had.

Professional service
My retainer of Charles came at an unexpected time for me but paid dividends in the end. His knowledge helped me understand the law and what to expect if my case ever went to court. Thankfully, it didn't. I would definetly recommend Charles to anyone in search of a family law attorney.
