Fights against injustices

Charles represented a family member who was unjustly pulled over by a police officer. He went above and beyond to prove his innocence. He truly cares for his clients. He counseled my son and warned him about following the law. He is an exNavy officer and previously worked in law enforcement. S...o he knows all sides of the law and he is the most just man I have ever met. His courtroom savvy is incredible to watch. Mostly, it is his character, he is an honorable man who truly cares. He has years of experience and knows how to defend. There are other lawyers out there that might have great ratings cause they are young and work the social media but this is the lawyer you should hire. He has experience, commitment and justice on his side!

Best in Central Texas

Helped me with a criminal case after my first lawyer seriously messed it up. Highly trained support staff and excellent resources at his disposal. End result was positive and in my favor.

Review for Charles Soechting

We were referred to Charles by our niece. Although he did not normally handle criminal matters, he agreed to do what he could to help us. Within minutes of sitting down at his Conference Room table he began making connections trying to connect the dots. We had been trying to get something accompli...shed with another attorney for 16 months and within minutes of meeting him, Charles had done more than the other attorney had even thought about in the time we were with him. We are so appreciative of Charles and Kathryn and will be eternally grateful to them.

  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
