The rare lawyer who can argue as well on his feet in a courtroom as he can behind a desk crafting legal arguments. I have referred people I care deeply about to Charlie because I know he will give it to them straight and provide quality representation with integrity.
Client Reviews
P. T. December 1, 2020
Biased unprofessional I hired Charlie to represent me on a child custody case and he was very biased the entire time he was my attorney. He and the judge did not like that I wore a BLM shirt, he didn't agree with my zoom name. He took dhs side on everything, never defended me. And he hasn't returned any calls, emails he took my money and abandoned my case. Have yourself some stress and money and do not hire him.

Biography

Born, raised, and educated entirely in Arkansas, Charlie is passionate about helping Arkansas families through the court system.

As a DHS attorney throughout the State, Charlie has helped hundreds of children, parents, and adults achieve positive outcomes through appropriate DHS agencies and services. Charlie understands the seriousness of any legal proceeding that involves someone’s child or loved one, and his extensive experience in the courtroom allows him to be an effective advocate under such dire circumstances.

Before practicing with DHS, Charlie served as an assistant to Hon. Waymond Brown at the Arkansas Court of Appeals. There, he learned the intricacies of the appellate process, including what is effective and what is not when trying to appeal your case.

Charlie is a proud uncle to five nieces and nephews, an avid Razorback fan, and the only place he’d rather be than the courtroom is the kitchen, where he loves to concoct his own recipes for family and friends.
