Litigator – Mediator – Business Professional – Trial Lawyer.

Specialized in Employment Law and is Board Certified in Employment Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization.
Additionally, Charles is uniquely qualified as a mediator in Employment Law and has litigated cases in state and federal court on behalf of employees and employers for more than 30 years.
Charles is also a trained EDR Neutral. Early Dispute Resolution or “EDR” is a rigorous, comprehensive process for fairly and rapidly settling disputes, building on mediation and collaborative law practices that facilitate cooperation in an adversarial process. The goal of EDR is to resolve most disputes within 30 to 60 days from inception. The EDR process is simple to summarize. Lawyers quickly and economically obtain sufficient information regarding disputes, enabling them to confidently forecast the expected value of a case and determine reasonable settlement ranges. Clients then have sufficient information to make informed decisions regarding resolution of the dispute. EDR has four steps: (i) initial dispute assessment, (ii) information and document exchange, (iii) risk-benefit analysis, and (iv) final resolution. For more on EDR, go to: www.edrinstitute.org
