"I have known Charlie for 15 years, been his law partner for 13, his wife for 11, and the mother of his children for 8 years. With that said, I have had the chance to work with and live with Charlie for many years and know him to be professional, knowledgeable about the law, experienced in the courtroom and at the mediation table, tenacious and agressive when the case calls for it, persuasive, meticulous with his attention to detail, and the best husband and best Daddy in the world."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
