"Charles is my go-to attorney for consumer debt and consumer bankruptcy issues. He is unusually caring about the financial well-being of his clients, and brings a level of passion that I find refreshing among debtors' counsel. I have referred clients to Charles and will again. I find he has a good depth of knowledge in the field."
"Charles is a highly knowledgeable, compassionate and experienced bankruptcy attorney who cares about his clients. I highly endorse Mr. Charles Shamash."
"Charles is a longtime colleague and occasional adversary. He skills are razor sharp; his subject area expertise is superb; and his calm and candor is a relief to his clients and disarming to his adversaries. I have referred satisfied clients and even family members to Charles with confidence for over 25 years, which is the highest praise that one lawyer can give another."
