A plus service

Mr. Eaton makes a legal process that could have been challenging so simple: he communicated with ease, he is knowledgeable, he follows through, he gets back with his clients in the time frame he promised. He exceeded my expectations and I would definitely utilize his services again and highly recomme...nd him to my family and friends.

QUICK!!!

Mr. Eaton was very knowledgeable and efficient. He was flexible with the uncertainties of my case, and understanding of my circumstances. If you need a Family Law Attorney, give Mr. Eaton a call. You won't regret it!

Don’t Do It

He seems nice at first, but lied to me about things to drag my case out in order to get more money. He also isn’t as knowledgeable as you would think someone with his years of experience would be. I felt like he was straight out of law school at times.

Excellent Attorney

If you’re looking for a highly dedicated, passionate and professional attorney, Mr Eaton is your man! Fought hard for my case. I would highly recommend his services to anyone looking for a competent attorney.

No Stone Unturned to Defend My Case! TY, Charles!

Imagine my surprise and panic when my ex from Texas tried to get an old alimony support order dropped. Not to worry! Charles Eaton to the rescue. Charles quickly reassured us that everything would be fine, and they were. In the end, not only was the motion dismissed, Charles also made sure that m...y ex paid my attorney fees to defend myself. He even included the extra fees required to wire over the funds. How thorough is that? What impressed me so much about Charles is that he took the time to do research to defend our point. I have never seen another attorney do this to the degree that Charles did. He spent hours looking at other cases and updating us on his finds. He communicated constantly and did not leave us in the dark. He exhibited professionalism by making sure his papers and copies were in complete order and with no punctuation or spelling errors--again--a credit to his impeccable attention to detail. Thank you, Charles, for turning a nightmare into a spring breeze. I highly recommend anyone to put their legal problems into his capable hands. He will leave no stone unturned and defend your position with backup.
