He specializes in commercial/18-wheeler crashes, wrongful death and catastrophic injury, traumatic brain damage, motor vehicle crashes, and workplace injuries. Charles is known as a tough, aggressive litigator who uses the tools of the law to put maximum pressure on the defense to force them into either paying full value for a case or taking unreasonable positions at trial.

As a consultant, Charles operates Trial Structure, LLC the #1 plaintiff's litigation strategy program in the country (www.trialstructure.com). Trial Structure is a system for writing the opening statement that identifies the defenses and defeats their playbook by organizing information in a way that dramatically increases the value of the case. Once written, the opening statement acts as a roadmap for the rest of trial from voir dire, to evidence, to closing and rebuttal. Trial Structure, LLC also teaches other lawyers around the country how to implement the structure into their practice to increase their effectiveness and the value of their cases.
