An unfortunate decision...

I am writing this review so that others will not make the same mistake I did. This man is one of the most condescending, faceitious and awkward individual I and my family have ever met. He was no where near compassionate or understanding. He gave off a weird vibe and if you're looking for a decent pr...ice, look elsewhere. Chuck treated myself and my family like we were un-intelligent and lacked common sense. Just because someone has a brush with the law doesn't mean they should be treated with such disrespect. I will say that he knows his stuff on DUI law and the case turned out in our favor as best it could but I would choose differently if I could go back. I hope others take this advice to heart and make a better choice in their representation than I did.

Very knowledgable but expensive...

I had a DUI charge and we were able to get it reduced to a Physical Control. This was my first offense. Chuck was able to explain everything that seemed confusing and worked with me on payment however I feel he is a bit pricey as I still paid for a lot of things with this situation on top of his pric...e. Regardless of how much I have paid out, it was my fault it happened and he was able to assist in the time frames allotted.

Mr. Wonderful!!!

If you are unfortunately in need of an attorney for a serious charge like OVI or DUI . Chuck is just the fellow you need. He is very kind, but don't mistake kindness for weakness. He is a powerful force working for you. He will always take you call and listen and advise. When we were in court ...you could see that he is highly respected . He will fight for you to get the best outcome possible. You know from the start what may happen and how he can help you. There is not enough words to say how safe and how well cared for we were in his very capable hands. Thank you Chuck we are very very grateful for all you did for our son. He can move forward with his life without worry or problems you fought to the end for him.. THANKS again..

Highly Recommend

I got my 3rd OVI charge with a refusal (high tier) in July of 2017. Chuck did an excellent job throughout the whole process. A 3rd OVI charge is no joke and the punishment for it can be extreme. Chuck was able to mitigate the damage to a very manageable situation for me. I had recently got promoted a...nd expected to move out of state during all of this. Chuck was able to work out an incredible deal that enabled me to continue moving forward with my career and my life. This guy will work some magic for you!!

Attention Veterans! If you're a veteran Chuck is the man to see! He can put you in touch with the Veteran's Justice Outreach program(VJO). The work and results he got for me was excellent! Even the rep from VJO was impressed! As far as the price, you get what you pay for and the money Chuck saved m...e was well worth hiring him. Thanks Chuck!

What determines Avvo Rating?

  • 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.
