Attorney Charles McCollum is NOT A good lawyer

I got burned really bad from a product I had bought, Charles McCollum offered to take my case, he also acted very concern for what I was going through at first he constantly kept in contact with me, he insisted I had a great case. Once he drafted my paper work, he sent me to file the papers on my own... at the court house, gave me the money to file the paper work he drafted, so he could go on a skiing trip, I had not heard from him since then, he would not return my calls, which jeopardized my case, he reassured me I would not go to court they would settle out, I am depressed, anxiety and still suffering from 1st, 2nd and 3rd degree burns, nerve damage, because of Charles McCollum he was not truthful with me or my case, this has changed my life tremendously . He never contacted me again to see what, when or anything bout my case, he left me to speak with his partner at the time Tanner Woods

Awesome Attorney!!

I was referred to Mr. McCollum by a good friend. I will admit I was nervous about hiring Mr. McCollum due to the fact that he is a young attorney and I had not heard of him. However, after meeting him and discussing my case he put all my fears to rest. He was honest with me and explained the entir...e process from beginning to end along with what he felt would be the best way to handle my case. Mr. McCollum did everything he promised and more. He helped me through a very difficult time in my life and it is because of him that I was able to put it all behind me and enjoy my life again. I will forever be grateful to Mr. McCollum and would highly recommend him to anyone in need of an attorney.
