Born, raised, and educated entirely in the Natural State, Charlie’s motivation and drive for Arkansan families is evident in his practice, which he has dedicated to helping individuals and the ones they love most in issues involving family including divorce, child custody and modification, DHS, guardianship, prenuptial agreements, and everything in between. Charlie is known as a zealous advocate for his clients in front of any judge. However, knowing how sensitive family matters can be, he works diligently to assess the needs of individual clients and develop a strategy that achieves their desired outcomes.
Charlie moved back to Little Rock, his hometown, after a seven-year stint in Fayetteville for college and law school. He lives there with his very tolerant girlfriend, Jennifer, their black cat, Madonna, and a very poorly behaved Australian Shephard named Harriet. He is a proud uncle to five nieces and nephews; spends most weekends on the disc golf course with “the boys;” and the only place he’d rather be than the courtroom is in the kitchen concocting recipes for the family and friends he holds so dear.
Charlie first knew that a career in the courtroom was in the works after winning back-to-back Arkansas state debate championships representing Little Rock Central High School. He then attended the University of Arkansas for his undergraduate education as a double-major in History and German. In law school, also at the University of Arkansas, he won the Ben J. Altheimer Moot Court Competition and received overall best speaker.
After law school, Charlie clerked for the Honorable Waymond Brown at the Arkansas Court of Appeals, then spent several years arguing dependency neglect cases for DHS child protective services. Since he has entered private practice, he has argued in courts across Arkansas in a variety of practice areas including complex divorces, custody, adoption, guardianship, and DHS cases.
