About Charles
Biography
I am a native West Texan, who moved from Lubbock to Tarrant County to practice law in 1987. I live in southern Arlington with my wife. Prior to practicing law I worked as a CPA helping individuals, families, small business owners and farmers with income, estate and payroll tax issues. My practice is focused on helping clients understand and work through the legal aspects of the health care system in order to take care of themselves and their families. I frequently advise clients on how to more effectively use the legal documents I prepare for them.
You may see me at various long-bow archery competitions around the State from time to time, including Chester and the State Long-Bow Championship in Fort Worth. My new hobby, disc golf, takes all over the State. There are over 50 courses in DFW alone. Arlington has a fantastic course.
