Charles offers discreet and adept advocacy for individuals confronted with divorce or post-divorce litigation in the Northern California region. He serves as a representative for clients dealing with a range of matters, including business ownership stakes, private equity, venture capital, real estate, intricate executive compensation, and other complex financial concerns. These instances often encompass intricate asset assessment and distribution problems, intertwined with more intricate spousal and child support considerations. Charles regularly assembles teams of forensic accountants, business experts, and real estate appraisers to realize his clients’ monetary objectives effectively.

Moreover, Charles frequently assists clients in navigating negotiations for both pre- and post-marital agreements, aiming to safeguard and allocate assets for purposes of marriage or estate planning.

Having showcased his skills as a trial lawyer, Charles successfully concluded his inaugural jury trial in 1994, consistently guiding clients through the legal process every year since. Although like many dissolution attorneys, he resolves the majority of his cases through settlements, his readiness and proficiency in pursuing litigation prove immensely advantageous for his clients during the settlement phase.

Charles caters to clients within mediations, arbitrations, proceedings with private judges, and courtroom trials across all counties in the Bay Area.
