Call him! He's rescuing me again.

2.5 yrs ago Charles saved me. My husband hired him for a bad Landlord tenant issue and in the middle of it my husband died! Charles was right there, compassionate, knowledgeable when I phoned him. I told him what happened and he helped me navigate everything to finish the eviction and get everything ...resolved. I was so thankful! A fair price! And, I'm in a different county a few hours away! So now I'm back to him again for another difficult problem that's out of state. He's right here again helping me. Thank you Charles!!!

Completely ignored us once our case got complicated

We hired Charlie A Kovas to help us evict a horrible tenant of ours. Charlie helped us out for almost 2 years and then completely went silent and started ignoring our calls, voicemails, and emails once things got complicated. At first we thought maybe he was on vacation or got busy. We finally had a ...family friend call to see if he would answer the call or call them back. Sure enough he called them right back. He never gave us any type of explanation and we never got an email or letter indicating that he was no longer going to represent us. Instead he just went dead silence. We always paid our fees in time and never had and issue. After taking thousands of dollars from us he just decided the case was going to have to go to court and get complicated so he ghosted us. We had to hire a new lawyer and start the process all over again. Hiring Charlie Kovas was the worst mistake. I let everyone know what he did to us.

Landlord tenant

I had the worst case with a con artist. Mr Kovas was very helpful. He made me feel safe and his knowledge base was extremely large. Other attorneys did not know what to do or they were going to take me as much as the con artist. Mr Kovas was there for me. He settled my case quickly and has continued... to help me.
