COVID *
My son had a case in witch he could not attend a court hearing. He was mandated by the hospital and took for 3 days to quarantine and be vaccinated. He has tested negative thank god. My son has mild asthma and wouldn’t take a chance in risking his live and the safety of His family.. he’s attended 4 zoom meetings on phone and the judge told him that he was in a loop bc they couldn’t resolve the case at the time.. Please MR. fantle Give my son a fair day in court and wait for the hospital to release him so he can attend court. Dont stick him with a warnt bc of COVID

Very helpful with getting my son’s case resolved. He got everything done quickly and my son never had to appear in court, so we were never inconvenienced with court dates. I would use him again if I need legal representation.

Only wish we could have retained him
He was professional and down to earth. Did not talk to me like I was stupid. He actually went above and beyond even though it was out of his hands and nothing he could do. He helped me and answered all my questions. No doubt I will be calling him again if ever needed. Highly recommended.

He will fight for you!!
I hired Mr. Fantl for my boyfriend who had some false charges on him by an ex-girlfriend that would have sent him to prison for thirty years. Mr. Fantyl saw all the holes in the witness statements and the inconsistencies on police reports and was able to prove his innocence. The charges were dropped. We can't thank Mr. Fantl enough for helping us get the justice we deserved.

Professional!
While on far to many occasion hiring a lawyer can seem overwhelming, confusing and sometimes due to uncontrollable circumstances neccessary!, one can only hope they've made the right choice as I have in seeking Mr. Fantl services. During my entire ordeal he was there guiding me step by step, from information I needed to have, such as forms,documents and, or information I would need to provide to the neccessary parties. Either himself or his staff constantly kept me up to date in regards to time, dates that were critical and he was readily available to answer all my questions, which sometimes required us to meet in person. What struck me most about Charles was before giving me a fee for his services, he actually took the time to ask me questions to get a better sense, understand of my particular ordeal, I cannot stress enough how unfortunate it was for myself to either receive or make calls to various lawyers that didn't even seem at least interested to hear what I had to say before a fee was thrown at me. Mr. Fantl was very honest, straight forward and made no false promises. He is a true professional at his craft, so much so I hired him twice. Extremely grateful!

Unfortunate outcome
I don't think my case was given the attention it deserved, and I believe, as a result of that, my family did not get the best outcome. I know my case wasn't guaranteed, but I hope for the best on appeal, and with a new lawyer.
