About Charles
Biography
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.

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 r...

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.
