Testimonials

My son was born healthy, but after birth, he almost died from a brain injury because of a physician’s failure to diagnose a potential problem, treat it or, inform my wife and me about the risk. This negligence left our son with a lifelong disability.

Filing a malpractice lawsuit to help support my son was a traumatic experience. And taking the case to trial was frightening, but Charles was with us from the get-go. He prepared us and kept us well informed about what the jury was going through and what the defense was doing.

Charles had a personal way of communicating with our family that made us feel we were not alone and helped us make it through a very difficult time. We always knew he was fighting for us. The case settled in 2003 in our favor, and my son has a trust fund that will give him the support he needs for life.

P.B. FROM COLUMBIA, SOUTH CAROLINA

We associated Charles on one of our cases and worked closely with him over the course of a couple of years. Charles is insightful, thoughtful and exceedingly creative. He has an uncanny ability to boil even very complex facts and law into very simple and elegant themes—that work. They worked for us as we developed the case along those themes and were very effective with the juries to whom we presented them

I would be remiss not to mention how much I learned from him about speaking to juries and allowing them to identify and reinforce your themes through their own mouths. It was enlightening and brilliant.

Lastly, I enjoyed working with Charles so much. He is a fierce advocate, he works incredibly hard, he was a good teacher and collaborator and became a good friend.
