Excellent Experience – Highly Recommend!

I had an excellent experience and am truly grateful for all of Charles help. He is professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly kind, and he even brings a great sense of humor that makes a stressful process much easier. He was always quick to respond to my questions and explained every step clearly, s...o I never felt alone or unsure about my case. What really stood out to me is how genuinely he cares about his clients as people, not just cases. That level of thoughtfulness is rare. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust.

The best lawyer ever seen. Hiring him was best decision of my life

To cut the story short, I was very stressed about my bankruptcy situation and I was sued by American Express on top of that so my uncle referred me to the Office of Mr Charles Shamash. I had a very wonderful experience. He is exceptionally the best lawyer. I am very satisfied with his service. He i...s very kind and professional. He knows details of the process so I would recommend him to everyone. Look no further as his services are the best. He replied to my questions right away . I never felt that I was alone with my problems and my case. He even sent me happy birthday email wishing me the best. Unlike other lawyers and businesses he is not just after money. He really cares about his clients.

My consultation with Charles helped me forge a sensible path forward. He was forthright and transparent and gave me a lot of good advise which I will be putting into motion. He pointed out my choices in a patient manner and gave me good information with which to proceed. I would highly recommend Char...les and am thankful for his time.

Im so glad I chose Charles to help file my BK. Easy to work with, consistent, punctual and thorough. I could go on and on. I will definitely refer anyone I know to him that needs services. He made this process so much easier for me to go through with.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • 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.
