About Charla
Biography
The first time I ever stood up in front of a jury, I knew that it was where I belonged. I’ve been told that, in front of a jury, I seem to have the opposite of stage fright, and I suppose that’s true. It’s where I feel most comfortable, advocating for my clients, arguing their case.
I’m a trial lawyer. If I believe in a cause, I’ll fight for it – with everything I’ve got – for as long as I have to. I just don’t know any other way to approach this work.
I try cases because I enjoy helping people, whether they’re ordinary people who’ve been wronged by a product or company, or a business that’s been harmed by the actions of another. I truly do care about the people I represent. If I ever stop caring, I’ll quit practicing law.
