Dishonest and deceitful attorney

Chuck is not to be trusted. He STOLE more than $35,000 from clients. He was readmitted after he pay restitution. From my interactions with him over the last year, it is clear that he is still extremely deceitful. Hire at your own risk.

THIS is not a client but rather a lawyer who was fired by a client and I represented the client in an arbitration against him and he lost. It was determined he overcharged his client. My dealings with him were adversarial and this is not a review but revenge and anger for him losing.

Richard Law best around!

This is just not a law firm its a family to me. They picked my case up and carried me through every step with love and compassion. The staff reached out to me on a daily to check on my personal well being and wellness. My legal and financial part of my case was very professionally handled. I never ha...d to worry about anything. All i had to be concerned about was recovering. My case was taken on in 2016 and i still have a relationship with this firm. Again they are not only an awesome team of individuals they are family. Thank you for all you guys do! i would recommend this Law firm to anyone!

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2009.

Disbarment issued in FL, 2009

updated on 08/20/2019

This is the most serious penalty for a lawyer. If this attorney is currently practicing law, you should contact the Florida Bar to understand the reasons for this disbarment.

Charles’s comment:

“Florida disbarment was due to Georgia disbarment not to any Florida conduct.”

Emergency Suspension issued in FL, 2008

updated on 05/17/2009

This means the attorney's conduct has posed harm to the community or to clients. The attorney is not allowed to practice law until he or she gets the problem resolved.

Disbarment issued in GA, 2008

updated on 08/20/2019

This is the most serious penalty for a lawyer. If this attorney is currently practicing law, you should contact the Georgia State Bar to understand the reasons for this disbarment.

Charles’s comment:

“Was disbarred for failure to respond due to addiction issues which I overcame and successfully became a member of the Georgia Bar again in 2016.”

Interim Suspension issued in GA, 2007

updated on 02/08/2010

Interim suspension means an attorney lost his or her license to practice during a disciplinary investigation. The suspension typically expires when the investigation is resolved.
