Absolutely Horrible

Hired this guy, cannot say he is an attorney, to help me through a child support modification, he persented to me that my case was not over his head and that with the documentation I persented was what we needed to move forward with my modification. After given him $2,500 to open my retainer then ano...ther $300.00 cash absolutely nothing got done never heard from the guy again, after sending email after email trying to call his place of work finally received a return call which was meaningless and an email. He absolutely hustled me out of my money. Please beware of this guy. I will be filling a complaint with the State Board of North Carolina!

Horrible lawyer

I hired Charles Anderson for a personal injury case dye to a car accident. After all the promises he made about my case, he never food anything for me. He had my car for 2 years and didn't do anything. Anytime i would call it had to speak to his secretary (she was awesome) or I'd be sent to voice-m...ail which wad always full. In the two years he had my case he didn't even get my medical bills or contact the defendant or anything. Never answered my questions properly, would return phone calls weeks later. He is a terrible attorney. I had to fire him and hire someone else. Do not hire this man!

Very Pleased

Mr. Anderson provided legal representation for a traffic violation in Charlotte, NC recently. The court date quickly approached and he was able to get a continuance for a week after the original date. He provided representation without us having to appear and relayed all pertinent information quickl...y. While we had several attorneys from which to choose we made the right choice in choosing him. He provided a quick consultation with knowledgeable representation and his fees were reasonable. With his representation the court charges for the violation were reduced. We highly recommend his services.

Posted by Avion | May 10, 2013 | Immigration

Highly recommended

Charles Anderson has been my attorney for the past 13 years. In that time he has guided me through different matters from Immigration to speeding tickets. He always responded to my questions in a timely manner and always kept me in the loop on my case. I will continue to be a client and would highly ...recommend him to others.
