Biography

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 a parent withhold child support funds card from a 17-year-old in Oklahoma?
A: Child support is funds for the support of raising the child - not money for the child. This can go towards housing, utilities, food, clothing, etc… it does not have to go to the child directly.
Q. I have mold in my chest from medical Marijuana which lead to pneumonia that cause one lung to collapse
A: I am sorry to hear about your situation. There doesn't appear to be any question for anyone to answer. However, taking the assumption is do you have any recourse, the short answer is probably not because 1) there would be no federal action since MJ is still federally not legal, and 2) when you take medicine you assume the risks of that medicine including all the side effects. Even if you can claim this is not a risk, then you now have to connect all the dots showing a particular batch of MJ had mold and then having a medical expert testify this was a direct cause of the pneumonia. Then what will come into question will be your storing of the product after purchase and did something you do cause the mold or was it a direct result of the store you purchased it, or the distributor, or the farm, etc...

Good luck in your quest and again I am sorry to hear about your situation - If you do seek an attorney to assist you with this, you need to find one that specializes in medical malpractice as well as product liability.

Q. the city of Tulsa has a lien on my house. my house in on muscogee creek nation land.
A: Get with your tribe, however, a lot of people want to claim McGirt changed this, however, it has been ruled and there is controlling law that it does NOT affect land ownership and therefore based on your limited facts, the city has not violated any rights to this point as it is a presumably valid lien.
