About Charles
Biography
I was drawn to the law after going through a divorce myself, so I understand how the legal system feels very intimidating to clients. I prioritize approaching cases in a common-sense manner, based not just on law, but on experience.
I have a degree in economics as well as the law, and served as a field artillery officer in the U.S. Army. When I'm not in the office or working on a case, I am active outdoors (climbing, skiing, etc.), fixing something under one of my aging vehicles, or spending time with family.

My case was completely out of the ordinary when my wife decided to pull a stunt like you see in movies! I contacted this law firm, they were more than exceptional in their quest for success. Chip, is very friendly, knowledgable, and helpful. His character definitely shines through. I hired this firm ...
Charles Edmond McElearney's Lawyer Endorsements
"In addition to being very smart, Chip is a hard worker. He has an eye for details and this makes him excellent at pouring through discovery and finding asset and debt details that others may have missed. Chip is aggressive when needed, but also reasonable and this makes him an excellent legal counselor for clients."
