About Charles
Biography
My job is to serve people who need the help. My law office (Schuyler Law Office) exists to resolve matters and disputes in the best way possible, at the least expense to the client. We will respond to your inquiry as soon as we can do so. I have practiced law in Montana for 45 years, discipline-free, and have served on the Fourth Judicial District Professional Ethics panel, as a Western Montana Bar Association President in the 1990s with membership since 1975, Director for the Missoula Federal Credit Union (now Clearwater C.U.), Director of the Missoula Urban Transportation District, President of Kiwanis, a Missoula service entity, served as a church elder and usher, was admitted to practice in the Supreme Court of the U.S.A. in 1989 via sponsorship by the American Trial Lawyers Association, and I filed a Writ of Certiorari in Searight v. Michael Cimino; I have won two Montana Supreme Court appeals (In Re Felix; In Re Shennum); I have filed Petitions and Complaints to obtain Awards, Judgments and Decrees in many areas of litigation or practice, including Dissolution, Personal Injury Insurance cases, Wrongful Discharge from Employment, Montana Human Rights Discrimination Bureau, Workers Compensation Court, Social Security Hearings, and U.S. Federal District Court (civil jury trial award).
I prefer to work efficiently to avoid litigation, and to seek peace in every matter, and to find the best road toward that goal. In the court arena, knowledge of the law, preparation, and respect for the court is primary. I have closed multi-million dollar transactions as recently as 2019, including real estate professional practice sale cases; we resolved deed restrictions in a sale to a major Montana non-profit; and we have worked to resolve to Judgment several Decrees and Orders in several fields of litigation, including disability discrimination, vehicle collision injuries, the Montana Medical-Legal Malpractice Panel, and most other venues.
Of note is a recent result that terminated a commercial lease for a professional tenant needing to relocate, and that move was very successful for the tenant. We have closed substantial and modest Probates and Estates, have helped set up testamentary plans for clients seeking that help, and have set up guardianships and conservatorships in certain cases that have worked extremely well.
We want to help you, and would be honored if you would request our legal services to assist in your matter.

Supreme Attorney At Law his Credentials Speak for Themselves
Excellent! Two previous Attorneys retained were incompetent on my Civil case of negligence. Chuck resolved previous issues and took paramount action, and our course is now in compliance with the Laws of Montana . If you have legal issues look no further. His calling has been blessed by the Lord.

Mr. Schuyler’s approach to resolving legal matters is direct, efficient, and yet comprehensive. He listens intently and responded to my inquires promptly. Mr. Schuyler’s support was exactly what was needed to resolve my housing issue and I highly recommend him for your needs as well.
