Charles Watts
Charles L. Watts, PLLC
Charles grew up in a family construction business and has been dealing with contracts and legal issues for over 30 years. He went to law school to reduce cost in the business, however during this time found a new passion in helping people through the legal hurdles that we all face at some point in time in our life.
Charles has been married to his wife Gina since 2003 and they have an adopted daughter whom they have had since birth. Actually since day one, as they were in the birthing room when she was born. Going through the adoption process has given us insight and experience from the clients view and understand the stress that comes along with an adoption, not to mention they have also undergone the stress of three failed IVF rounds, so understanding that stress and expense is nothing new to them either.
Charles focuses mostly on Family Law issues, such as Guardianships, Divorce, Custody or Visitation, and Adoptions. However, he is also very adept with Construction Law, general Business Law, and Tax Law.

- Q. Can an apartment tow a car parked in an unmarked accessible spot?
- A: In Oklahoma we follow the Federal guidelines for ADA markings. Therefore, for a parking spot to be officially marked as a handicap parking space it has to have the Signage (R7-8 Sign with the bottom edge 60" above the ground) as well as the pavement marking. Otherwise, it does not meet the requirements of the reserved parking.
- Q. Can I use a notarized document to leave heirlooms in Oklahoma?
- A: I agree with Mr. Avery - You need to contact an attorney to help you with this. Without a will all possessions become part of the estate and are considered 'equitable value' to the estate for the division per state statute of intestacy. If you have something specific that you want to go to someone, either make the gift now and transfer ownership now making it theirs or put together a will to make those specific bequests/gifts/devises upon death. Do not leave it up to chance of a "notarized" document. Otherwise, based on statistics and court case history, your heirs will be paying lawyers later to be fighting over things which you had an intent to do something with.
- Q. Legal recourse for revoked credits and extended sentence in Oklahoma prison?
- A: The 85% is a required "minimum" served. It is not a guaranteed release day. The guaranteed release day would be the 100% time served.
They get credits to reduce time served but it cannot lower it below the 85%. It is well within the rights of the institution to give or revoke credits.
