Charles fought for me

I was falsely accused in a domestic case. My ex girlfriend is crazy and vendictive and made marks on her neck when I wasnt there, and pressed a false felony charge. I also have prior felonies and this case was not looking so good for me. I hired Charles and he worked with me on my payments. We end...ed up taking this false felony charge to trial. In trial Charles was very well prepared, new my case inside and out, and was very good at knowing how to handle my case. He was a shark in the courtroom. He knew I was being honest and had fallen victim to a false allegation. He fought for me and was able to bring many things to light that the district attorney was trying to hide, not just from the jury, but also from me. At the end of my trial I was found not guilty. I give thanks to God for having Charles in my corner through this. I would definitely recommend Charles to friends and family looking for legal representation.

Highly recommend Charles to represent you

I would recommend Charles to anyone. I was charged with third degree assault with domestic violence and with his help, my case was eventually dismissed before trial. From the start, he made me feel calm and confident. I felt as though he truly cared about my case and personally wanted to see my name ...cleared. He was always available to listen, whether I was feeling anxious about something or had endless amounts of questions - and he always had a logical response to those questions. He is not afraid to give honest advice, while still allowing decisions to ultimately be up to you. I can’t express enough how reassuring it was to have Charles on my side during this very scary time.

I promise you won't be disappointed!

My name is Shannon, I was involved in a serious Aggravated Robbery charged and facing piano years. I was wrongly charged and had never been in trouble with law. We all know when it's your word against the law word your gonna lose 10 out of 10 times. My mother find Charles on the Internet and he retu...rned my call within 2 hours ! It took other lawyers days to return my calls and when they did return my call after hearing my case they seem like they was disinterested because it seemed like a hard case to win. Charles didn't charge me for the phone call or meeting him or the criminal advice. I was minutes away from going with another lawyer just because I had already been talking to other lawyers in the past days of talking to Charles. Charles was consistent in returning my calls so at the last minute I changed my mind and went with Charles and that had to be one of the best decision of my life. He right away had confidence that I wasn't going to have to do time. He did extra work in my case then he had too and work with me on payments. I know it's very hard to trust lawyers, but you can truly tell he cared about how I was doing and kept me updated with what was going on with my case. Long story short Charles got all charges dropped against me! He is an amazing lawyer! I know he may be young but , he knows what he is doing trust me !

a lawyer that knows the law

my name is Anthony I was charged with some very serious felony charges including homicide if you're trying to find the right lawyer and I know that's hard to do THIS IS THE ONE. I went through a couple of very expensive lawyers I will not mention their names but after hiring them and they got my mone...y I found them not to answer questions would not take my phone calls will not return calls and all they tried to do is plea bargain. a friend of mine referred me to Mr Greenwood and after talking to him he told me he knows the law . He may seem young but Mr Greenwood is a fantastic lawyer he will talk to you over any problems you might have he has not only been a lawyer is turned into a friend and still consults me to this day . if you're looking for a lawyer this is the lawyer you want. He will be with you every step of the way I cannot say enough good about Mr Greenwood especially after some terrifying experiences with other lawyers. He knows the law. He's ambitious smart and caring . Mr Charles Patrick Greenwood is going to be a well-known lawyer in the future.

Great choice for my HTO case

Charles was a great choice for representation in my hto case. He kept me informed on everything that was going on, gave me options, and showed an honest concern about my situation. He's easy to talk to and be up front with, and I can honestly say I got way less then I would have without him. He wil...l do you good!
