Outstanding Criminal defense attorney
Im extremely grateful to have hired Charles from Greenberg and Greenberg. Charles was very straight forward, assertive,patient and helpful. He didn't beat around the bush just to get more money out of you. He say's it how it is and how its going to get done. Charles and the team gave me the best outcome and what I wanted. I will always refer him to anyone that I know that needs help with any criminal charges. He is an amazing lawyer and you will not regret his help. He always kept my mind calm and showed the up most respect. Thank you.

Excellent Attorney
Charles was a true professional handling my family law / removing support case. Even though he's said his strength was in criminal law he handled this for me and was a complete success in achieving my goals. He was priced right and I felt a true level of honesty and compassion for resolving my case. I would recommend Charles in a minute and in the event I am ever in need of attorney his number is at the top of my list.

I would not use anybody else, Charles Knows what he's doing, and I am thankful for having someone who had my back!
Then BEST man to have on your side and I highly recommend Charles Kenyon. I gave him a call because I had tried talking to A LOT of law offices, I felt that no other offices were giving me any positive feedback nor were they returning my calls. Charles was the only one that would worked with me on traveling all the way to joshua tre, ca and gave me the faith I needed because he knows the law and he was so professional and I would not have anybody else besides Charles Kenyon. Hope anyone whose looking for justice to have your back, to go see Charles.

Saved my license
I was referred to Mr. Kenyon by another lawyer. THe moment I met him I could tell he was very intelligent. He gave me great advice by telling me to NOT plead guilty even though I wanted to get it all done with real fast. He won the DMV trial for me and got the police to reduce my charges so I got to keep my license.

"I have known Charles since law school and can say that without a doubt, he is one of the most highly skilled criminal defense attorneys in Riverside. As a prosecutor, he always handled cases fairly and since being a defense attorney, I have found him to be an extremely knowledgeable and very hardworking advocate who truly cares about his clients. His negotiation skills are second to none and he leaves no stone unturned in his preparation. He also possesses the unique ability to present a case at trial in a highly organized and persuasive manner – a trait that is more rare than you may think with attorneys. I have seen Charles work miracles in the courtroom, and give him my highest endorsement. If you need a top criminal defense attorney in Riverside, then look no further."
