RUN, RUN, RUN away from this attorney!! All he cares about is collecting a retainer fee and then running up your bill by calling you while he's out driving around in his car and spending hours on the phone telling you how great he is. He offers no strategy or game plan for his clients. He prepares his motions by just copying and pasting boilerplate legalese from previous cases. His only advice is to settle without a fight. He files frivolous motions without his client's consent that do not contain the client's wishes. He rarely returns phone calls and his office is frequently closed for several consecutive days. He's very arrogant and pompous and constantly asks for additional retainer fees as a condition of further service, but can never seem to produce any billing records as to how the money was used. He talks a big talk, but doesn't walk the walk. Firing him and going with another law firm was the best decision we made concerning my recent litigation.

I too wish I had seen these ratings before I hired "Charles". Smooth talker in person but he is rude and arrogant if you don't agree with him. I wasted $5000 hiring him for what any decent criminal defense atty could have done. I missed a court date because he never gave me the correct time. I'm going to report him to ARDC for theft since he took $ and did not fulfill the legal work he agreed to do.

Wow - I really wish I would have read these reviews before I hired him. Seems to be the same MO. I wouldn't do it again and would never recommend anyone to him.

Charles is very rude! He was very good at stalling my divorce.my husband and I went to mediation and he disregarded the agreement and made his own order, knowing it would be rejected. I also could never get a return phone call from him. I would never recommend him
