This review is from a person who hired this attorney.
| Hired Attorney
Best business lawyer in San Diego!
I hired Chuck to assist me in buying a Partner out of my company. I can tell you that Chuck WAS and IS the only reason the deal went smooth without any hiccups. I was very naive into what goes into a transaction like that, and I relied on Chuck to guide and assist me the entire way through the process. Chuck is incredibly pro-active and knowledgeable in business transactions. The last 4 months I have worked incredibly close with Chuck to ensure that this transaction went smoothly and I can attest that he is honest, upfront, responsive and incredibly smart. Without hesitation I recommend Chuck for any business transaction/acquisition/buy-out.
