About Charles

Learn Charles’s areas of practice.

Practice areas

I am an attorney with Newton and Hall, PLLC.– a law firm dedicated solely to criminal defense. Our firm handles complex felony cases to simple misdemeanors. I became a criminal defense attorney because I care about the criminal justice system and people’s rights. Too often the scales of justice are tipped in the favor of a prosecution with seemingly unlimited resources. I believe that a person deserves their day in Court and I want to be there to help them succeed on that day. I strive to support, educate, and advocate for my clients to achieve the greatest possible outcome in any case.

Charlie is the best. He communicated with me and my family through out the whole process. He is always able to be reached if I had any questions.

Charlie is a person of integrity and a lawyer that doesn't quit. He is real and honest with you, and is a bulldog in the courtroom. He won't give up on you and will fight as hard as he can to get you a fair and reasonable outcome, at the very least. He goes the extra mile when it comes to your defense. During my time with him (and there were times I didn't make his job any easier), I always felt like he was in my corner. Highly recommended.

Great Service
I filled out the website form noon Sunday and and within 10 minutes of hitting submit Charlie called. He was very helpful and instructive about what I could expect through the court process. By Monday morning Charlie had notified me that the case against me had been dropped...great service! Thanks Charlie!

Charlie is a fantastic attorney
Charlie is an incredibly smart and capable attorney who knows how to navigate through domestic violence law. He helped me get on the right track for putting the whole event behind me and gave me excellent legal advice whenever I needed it. He also was able to get my charge reduced which pretty much saved my career and allowed me to support my family. I highly recommend him.

Charlie went the extra mile for my DV case
I hired Charlie last Fall to help defend me in a DV case. This was a new experience for me and very scary as I've never been arrested or charged with anything in my life. Furthermore, the judge issued a no contact order which made an already complex domestic situation even worse. Charlie told me right away to follow his lead, and was responsive to any questions I had along the journey. He even went beyond the scope of legal advice to help me think through what's best for me personally. He was also helpful to my father about how to engage my wife as she approached him from time to time during the no contact period. In the end, Charlie got the case dropped all together. I highly recommend Charlie. He is both experienced at his profession and a source of encouragement in what can be a scary experience.

INCREDIBLE
Charlie was incredibly attentive and considerate. He took all my calls (even after hours) and responded to emails promptly. The way he was able to execute my case was more than I could have asked for.

Outstanding Service
I contacted Mr. Varni regarding obtaining a restraining order. I first had a consultation with Mr. Varni to find out the procedure for obtaining a restraining order. Mr. Varni is very professional and explained everything in detail. I then decided to retain Mr. Varni as counsel for this matter. Mr. Varni made the entire process easy to deal with considering it was a very stressful situation for me personally. I would highly recommend Mr. Varni.

Exceptional Representation
I hired Charlie as my attorney to represent me in my legal proceedings that entailed many complications, yet he rose above them all with integrity and open communication. Charlie always made himself available and if his schedule did not permit a follow up call, he always made it a point to keep me updated on any changes via email as well as providing me with documents that were submitted to the court on my behalf. I highly recommend his services as he is a very competent attorney with great interpersonal skills.
