Charles David Radeline

I could not recommend Mr. Radeline any higher. Charles' experience and vast knowledge of family law matters are above and beyond what I have experienced from previous law practices. Charles is one of the most ethical attorneys that I have ever had the pleasure of working with. His calm demeanor, and ...thorough approach to delicate matters really removes the anxiety out of approaching tough matters where many attorneys in family law see a client's excitement as a way to create more billable hours by creating excess conflict. Charles has advised myself, and many of the referrals I have sent to him over the years to save on costs by orienting them to what is really "important" and has always encouraged myself to arrive at my own conclusions. Charles is committed to his craft, experienced, and has allowed me to advocate for my child in ways, I feel, I would never be able to with previous counsel allowing my child to grow up as a carefree child. After five years with Charles I am continually grateful as I look at my child to see how balanced and centered she is, and that Charles was able to help me protect her by navigating the legal system together.

I started my divorce proceedings with Mr. Radeline thinking it would be a speedy and not too expense divorce. We are two young poor adults with no assets and a 3 year old child so only child support and custody had to be agreed upon. My soon to be ex agreed on all terms at first and then started ch...anging his mind so the back and forth started going on between his and my lawyer. 5 months and $6,000 later (when my parents bank account ran dry), I dropped him as a lawyer no closer to a divorce than when we started. Being in my early twenties and very naive, I was unaware of how lawyers charged for their services. Now I know and that was a very expensive lesion for me. I hope this helps someone else ask questions about lawyers services that I didn't know to ask.
