Beware the secretary! I called to hire the young guy and she switched me to this loser

I wanted to hire the young dark-haired lawyer, and somehow I ended up with this old guy with white hair. This guy LOST my case and he totally sucked! I tried to hire the young guy named Danny who is really good, and i totally did NOT want this old guy! WTF, I was totally sober and I paid a ton ...of money to this guy, now I have no drivers license and i have to jump through hoops. Please take my advice, you want the young guy with dark hair. If the secretary or whoever tries to set you up with an old guy with white hair, JUST SAY NO and put your foot down! You want Danny for your lawyer. Do not let the old guy named Charlie get your case, he charges more, he lost my case, and he's a creep.

This is the kind of lawyer you need

Charlie Fife was very honest, talented, and aggressive. He was able to win the DMV Hearing (on the appeal). He got the arresting officer to admit he was wrong in asking for a blood test. As we prepared for trial, Charles was confident the entire time that we would have a positive outcome. By filing ...motions, he was able to show the DA that we would most likely win a trial. DUID reduced to reckless driving. I received very low fines and a class, no probation. All of my calls and emails were returned quickly. The fees charged by Charles Fife are more than worth it. He works hard for everything you give him. I told him what I wanted and he made it happen. You couldn't ask for a better lawyer.

No way

I was in a very minor accident and I wanted to go with the public defender but my family wanted me to hire a lawyer. Never listen to your mother in law because I ended up with the worst case and a gigantic bill. Why spend the money but I wrote a check to keep the peace not that I got any. Anyway... what happened was I wasn't guilty but the officer made me look that way because there was an accident. The accident wasn't my fault but like I said the officer acted like it was my fault and I was drunk. I was drinking water all night my buddy ordered me a beer and it sat there. No evidence I did a single thing wrong so how hard can it be to prove I'm innocent? To beat this there was a ton of evidence but this lawyer didn't use it. A room full of people who saw me leave one beer on the table all night. So they're all in a bar a lot of them don't drink either and they're all good people. When I play pool I drink water and how about no bar tab to prove I wasn't drinking. Sure I had a beer, I had a beer on the table how does that make me a drunk. I was drinking water. The water kept getting lower and the beer stayed the same. The bar has video cameras and that video proves I was drinking water. How hard is it to show it to the judge. Make the jury watch a four hour movie of me drinking water. Well we lost and I still can't believe it. I hired a lawyer and he was either too busy too lazy too sure of himself or all of the above. We don't have to prove you're innocent, they have to prove you're guilty sounds like I am not going to spend time on your case now that your check is in my bank. All he had to do was get that video. So I'm in a bar, bars are legal to be in. Some people go there to play pool, being in a bar doen't mean you drink and it doesn't look bad it looks good when the video camera proves you're innocent. The public defender would have got that video because it's evidence and it's his job.

jan

I have used Charlie Fife and his firm twice in the past 5 years. I have found him to be ethical, trustworthy and honest with me at all times. He took both cases seriously. In both cases the situation was very serious. In my opinion he is a miracle worker. Thank goodness for all the hard work and r...esearch he did on my behalf. I would recommend him to anyone needing a great attorney. He was able to keep me out of jail on both charges.

Great attorney who cares!

I spoke with 5 attorneys regarding my DV case prior to walking into Charlie's office. After speaking with him, it was evident that he was passionate about his work and he cared about my situation. He was always available to talk to me regardless of the fact that he was charging a flat fee. Gunslinger...s don't charge by the bullet! I don't plan to need him again, but I will recommend him to anyone in a pinch.
