Review of Charles Shreffler
Chuck was wonderful. He was able to respond to legal request on very short notice, was fully available immediately, and did an excellent job of assisting with matters related to a complicated Estate Probate settlement. I would highly recommend him.

extremely effective in the courtroom
Not all litigators are great in the courtroom. We all see how thoroughly attorneys prepare for trial. And Chuck was very thorough in his preparation for trial. What stood out for me was Chuck's ability to artfully maneuver and then to sense the right moment to strike and destroy on cross examination. I was impressed. That is what I think you would want in an attorney. I was very satisfied with Chuck's "performance" and our subsequent victory in court. I think you want that more than anything else. I recommend Chuck to anyone.

Excellent
Charles has been an excellent attorney for us. He was always trustful, professional and helpful. Our case involved a complicated fraud but Charles did the needed research and we felt we were vindicated.

Sale of Business
Chuck: Helped me through me through the process of reviewing the legal sale documents of my business. Having him was a great help on making sure I understood the conditions of the sale.

Great Attorney!
I hired Chuck to work on my custody case and he is a great Attorney! He is very pleasant to work with. Very organized and on top of everything. If I had questions, he was always able to answer them! I felt comfortable with Chuck and will work with him in the future when needed!

Managing Partner - Coldwell Banker Commercial
Provided excellent preparation of Complaint and related facts along with the follow up Discovery and Documentation Requests. Chuck has a sound grasp and knowledge of how business related matters intertwine with the legal complexities. He not only drafts a sound Complaint, Summary Judgment Response Memo but also presented the same at a recent Summary Judgment Hearing with clear and convincing articulation.
