Great Experience as Local Counsel

I am an attorney licensed in Virginia who partnered with Charles as our local counsel in a complex Fair Labor Standards Act collective action in federal court in Austin, TX. We ultimately had nearly 500 "opt-in plaintiffs" join the case. Charles was extremely knowledgeable of the local federal cour...t and was a fantastic local partner in our case. I would recommend Charles to other attorneys as well as anyone looking for an employment attorney, especially in a wage and hour case.

No other could even compare!! Amazing, Brilliant, Committed, Dedicated, Diligent, Fair, Honest, Just,

Reality check. I never would have thought the day would come that I would need an employment lawyer. When it did, I could not have been more blessed when I was referred to Charles to represent my case for Over-time (FLSA), Age Discrimination and Gender Discrimination. He was ready, willing and mu...ch more than capable to represent me. I live a couple hundred miles from his offic, so during a scheduled trip, planned prior to my case, he took personal time out to meet me and discuss the case. Totally not expected, I had planned to drive to his office. From our introduction phone call to the settlement of the case I felt I was always a priority and not a bother or just another client. I was always kept abreast of every step in the process and every decision/option available for each decision that was needed to be made. I appreciate Charles communicating in total honesty, even when it was not an easy conversation for us to have. I greatly respect his matter a fact approach even though it was not always enjoyable. It did allow me to maintain realistic expectations. Resulting in a very positive and satisfying outcome for myself. I very strongly recommend Charles to any and everyone that thinks, believes or feels they have an employment claim. The absolute greatest in my book!!!

Employment contract review.

Charles provided solid advice and exposed two items not previously understood. His certification in both Florida and Texas allowed a unique perspective and value give apposing council's location in Florida. Despite a small scope of work, I found Charles to be accessible, responsive and refreshingly... fair in his rates and time billed.
