Biography
Charles earned his Juris Doctor from the Villanova University Charles Widger School of Law and is admitted to practice in Pennsylvania. His practice and professional life are dedicated exclusively to representing employees in all types of employment matters.
Over the last 15 years, Charles has worked in nearly every position within a law firm, starting as a mail runner and progressing through roles such as assistant file clerk, paralegal, and trial technician, ultimately becoming an attorney. As a paralegal, Charles managed a busy law practice representing patients injured by medical malpractice. He also brought his passion for technology to the courtroom as a trial technician, where he organized, managed, and presented evidence using the latest courtroom technology in nearly a dozen complex jury trials. Charles was invited to speak as a panel member on trial technology at the 2015 Delaware Trial Lawyers Association annual convention.
During law school, Charles focused his studies on trial advocacy and honed his trial and appellate advocacy skills by competing nationally on both Villanova’s National Trial Team and Moot Court Board. He interned for the Honorable Linda A. Carpenter in the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas and represented defendants in criminal hearings as a Certified Legal Intern with the Philadelphia Defender Association.
Charles brings to his career as an employment attorney more than a decade of practical experience that has made him an extremely effective advocate for his clients. He has negotiated countless settlements outside of the courtroom and achieved a successful jury verdict inside the courtroom.
Outside of the office, Charles enjoys hiking and mountain biking, woodworking, and rooting for Villanova basketball and Philadelphia’s sports teams.
