Endorsement for Charles H. Worsfold

Chuck is a true advocate. His knowledge and expertise enable his client to make informed decisions prior to and during the litigation process. I have engaged Chuck 5-6 times over a 15 year period and remain very satisfied. He is one of the few attorneys I would recommend to a friend/associate.

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.
