This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Very intelligent, not afraid, works his butt off!

Mr. Charlton took what most would consider to be a losing case where essentially, it was law enforcement and their family members vs a convicted felon. He listened to the us and worked diligently to investigate facts. He never pushed his client to take a deal, he presented options and followed our ...wishes, even when there was very little hope. With a show of force from the police in the court room against us he took the case to trial in superior court. We could not be happier with the level of tenacity he showed - he objected left and right and made the prosecutor pissed and flustered. He did his homework and it showed. His objections were sustained way more often than over-ruled. This gentleman knows his stuff and he is not afraid to use it! In a jury trial in an uphill battle - he WON! He did a fantastic job and most of all was super respectful. I've worked with other defenders that were complete jerks and spoke to me like i was a six year old and owed them something. I highly recommend Scott Charlton. I can't thank him enough!
