Biography
Charles Kenyon, Partner at GGK Criminal Defense. I handle ONLY criminal defense in my practice. I am experienced in all types of criminal cases - from Homicides to DUI's - and have done over 100 jury trials since 2005. I began my career as a prosecutor, working at the U.S. Attorneys Office and as a Deputy District Attorney. After winning acclaim from the California State Legislature and being awarded Prosecutor of the Year by the District Attorneys Office, I joined the top rated criminal defense firm in the Inland Empire. I have only one singular goal - to provide clients with the best advocacy in criminal defense. I have served clients throughout Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, and Los Angeles since that time. I offer free consultations, flexible payment options, and promise to bring experience and zealous representation to my clients.

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...
