Caring, Tough, Tenacious and Successful

Charlie Waters got me through the most difficult ordeal of my life. There were times when I just wanted to give up and give in, but he wouldn’t let me. He was strong when I was weak and tenacious and tough when I wasn’t able to be. He became my champion. He sued the persons responsible for the auto a...ccident and made them pay. Mr. Waters is a great lawyer and I was so fortunate to have him with me. He was more than just my lawyer though. He became a dear and trusted friend and that meant so much to me and my husband. Mr. Waters is a very special man. I would recommend him to anyone who needs a tough, honest lawyer who really cares about his clients.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I have known Charlie Waters for almost 40 years. He is a man of the highest integrity, and a dedicated, experienced, and highly successful trial lawyer. I have seen Charlie excel in the most difficult of cases, against some of the best defense lawyers in America. I have worked with Charlie as he has represented clients in a wide variety of personal injury and wrongful death cases, from complex medical malpractice cases, to catastrophic workplace injuries, to motor vehicle crashes where there were no survivors, no witnesses, and the case had to be developed through state-of-the-art forensics and accident reconstruction methodologies. Charlie is smart, strategic, intuitive, and aggressive. I have seen him demonstrate, over and over, a mastery of overcoming the myriad of defenses thrown at him by defense lawyers and insurance companies. He has earned a reputation for being one of the top personal injury and wrongful death lawyers in Texas, and I would highly recommend him."
