I was injured in an auto accident. I submitted a request for a consultation and Charles Applegate got back to me within 5 min. Exceptional ! I spoke with him on the phone and told me although I may be able to get a larger settlement than offered, what I was offered was reasonable. This shows the utmost integrity. He baiscally told me ....I should not risk hiring him. SO, He is now my GO TO for myself or anyone I know. read more

I spoke with this Attorney at length during a free consultation. He was a great listener, very knowledgeable, very approachable, very professional and generous with his time. i was impressed and wanted to hire him but there was a conflict of interest with the Judge in my case. It was beyond disappointing. I think he would have done a great job. read more

Charles was great! Even though his practice was not aligned to what we were particularly looking for, he took time to answer all the questions we had. He really made sure to help us as much as he can and gave us reassuring advice. This speaks volumes to him as a person willing to lend a hand to anyone who needs it. Thanks again, Charles! read more

Very good at understanding the ins and outs of every situation. Excellent customer service and they take care of you without making you feel like a victim. They go over and beyond in their skill set. read more

So this review is a long time coming. To make a long story short. I was in some potential trouble, getting squeezed in different directions by insurance companies. I was saying things I shouldn't be, and digging myself a hole. I looked up yelp, and noticed the unverified reviews on Mr. Applegate. I needed to speak to a lawyer and get some advise. I walked into his office expecting the worst. Not only did he calm me down, he was up front, straight shooter and gave me some sound advise. The peace of mind that he gave me was priceless, I took his advise and things worked out, exactly like he said they would. Mr Applegate makes you feel like the world isn't against you, gives you hope and is human, which to me was important, he treated me like a human. If there is anyone out there that needs legal advice, needs help or just has a question CALL THIS MAN. He is in your corner, no judgment, no bias, just facts, truths and a genuine human being! I have his card in my wallet (I hope I don't ever need to use it) for life. Thank you! read more

Worst experience ever! If I could rate 1/2 a star I would. The office takes forever to get back to you and they are the most unpleasant people to deal with. Do yourself a favor and go elsewhere read more

Sought legal advice and I got a prompt response had all my questions answered. Would definitely recommend to anyone seeing legal consult.

I highly recommend his service as Charles was very caring, honest and helpful. He was very responsive to my inquiry and spent a good amount of time speaking to me about my concerns. Even though he was not able to assist me, I will be recommending him to any friends or family members if they ever require legal assistance. read more

Simple put: Charles Applegate is a LEGEND! His cool, calm and collective approach to my, seemingly, horrific and bleak-consequences case; was both comforting and infectious. Charles was right there with me through the entire ordeal and was always available to offer his experience and expertise. His knowledge of criminal law is undeniable and he has a plethora of practice and interconnections. I can honestly say without any qualms; had I not had Charles Applegate fighting for me, I'd be laying, badly beaten by the court and DMV. You're a scholar and a gentleman. I thank you. read more

Highly recommend Charles Applegate. The process was painless and easy. He handled the entire injury settlement process and communicated very clearly and quickly via email and phone. Was very happy to not have to deal with anything related to the injuries or settlement. Not having the insurance company call me was worth the fee in itself. read more

HIGHLY recommend! I have been dealing with some tough legal matters over the last few years and decided that the attorney I had been working with wasn't doing his best work for me so I looked around town and was referred to Charles- boy am I thankful for that! From the beginning he was honest with me about all the possible outcomes for my case and we discussed a few different ways to approach it. Charles was great about understanding my biggest concerns and worked great with the DA and prosecutor; results were fair and in my favor and I really couldn't have asked for more. He communicated with me in a timely manner, he made sure to inform me of anything (and everything) I could do to better my chances at a positive outcome and he made sure the court saw that too. Would recommend him to anyone and would certainly use him again, just hoping I wont need to :) read more

I appreciate him very much. He was my Son's Lawyer and worked very well I am very happy with the outcome. He saved my some from a Life Sentence to 7 years just by proving my Son's medical incompatibilities. read more

So efficient and thorough. Extremely knowledgeable and insightful. Down to earth. Patient, answered all of our questions. Very helpful. Very good experience. read more

If you are searching for an attorney who has your back every step of the way, look no further. Charles Applegate represented me in an unfortunate arrest case and boy, did he have my back fully. No matter what had been pinned on me, Charles remained to have faith and confidence in my case, easing my nerves every step of the way. 3 years later, Charles has had my case dismissed keeping me calm and reassured the entire time. He will be 100% honest with you, so be honest with him!!! That's the best way to get help in bad circumstances. I was in the wrong place at the wrong time and Charles made sure that was known. Thank you Mr. Applegate for providing me with a clean continuation of life. I couldn't have done this without him!!! read more

Clear communication, knowledge and trust are three of the most important things to look for in a lawyer. I found all three in Attorney Charles Applegate. I consulted with three different lawyers and out of all three, Mr. Applegate was the one who really took the time to explain the situation clearly and explained the possible outcomes. I was pleasantly surprised to see how Mr. Applegate went above and beyond my expectations during my first consultation: He gave me clear advice and an outline of what I needed to know before my father's first appearance in court. Knowing what to expect ahead of the first court date greatly reduced my anxiety and allowed me and my dad to focus on what we needed to do to achieve the best possible outcome. I feel that Mr. Applegate went out of his way to help my dad and I appreciate that very much. I would hire Mr. Applegate for criminal defense or civil litigation cases without hesitating. read more

I have used Mr Applegate's services on several occasions for civil matters and advice on the legality of other people's actions. As an engineer I don't just accept what I am told, initially I cross checked his information with other sources. What I found is that he is a very thorough, informed and pragmatic lawyer. He not only knows the law he also has the experience to know where a case is likely to end up. His advice was not always what I wanted to hear, but was actually the best advice. It wasn't the most lucrative way for him, but it was the best for me. When I have had questions about his advice he has had the knowledge to fill in the gaps in my understanding. When I did manage to find something he didn't immediately know he was able to provide answers very quickly. When I researched his history I found that he was a prosecutor before he started his own practice, so I expect this gives him an unusually thorough understanding of the judiciary. I carry his card at all times; it is good to know that, if I ever needed help from the criminal law side of his business, I can rely on him. read more
