About

The focus of my law practice to help my clients achieve their dreams and goals. I help clients in four  main areas; Estate Planning- Most of us work hard all of our lives to provide a better life for ourselves and our loved ones. I help my clients avoid probate and achieve their goals with the fruits of their hard work. Whether it a legacy for their children, charitable contributions for a worthwhile charity, protections for a special needs child, protections for a surviving spouse or children, I provide the best plan and advise I can to make the client's dreams a reality. Business- Many of my clients either own their own business or want to start a business. I help my clients select the best business entity for their situation and protect all involved with buy/sell agreements, non-compete and confidentiality agreements, leases, purchase contracts, and many other issues which confront business people. Real Estate-I have been involved in all phases of real estate for over 35 years. As a major part of many estate plans, I work with clients to protect their homes, rental properties, farms, commercial properties, etc. In difficult economic times, strategies for ownership or sale may shift. Lease/Options, land contracts, quick evictions of non-paying tenants, etc. become more important. Probate- Probate is time-consuming, costly, and can be very frustrating. I help Clients plan and prepare to avoid the probate whenever possible. If you are someone who has worked hard to accumulate assets and wants to leave a legacy to someone with the least amount of tax and administrative costs and hassle, I can help.

Charles handled real estate lease contracts, problematic tenant issues and a property sale for me over the course of a year and most of it while I was out of town. He kept me regularly up to date with ongoing issues and fully advised of my options for resolving issues that arose. I have the highest confidence in Charles and his associates.

Charles McClenaghan is an excellent attorney. His knowledge of estate planning far exceeded my expectations, as I have had a previous experience in establishing my own Trust and Will. His explanation of all my mom wanted to accomplish with updating her Trust, Will, and Durable Power of Attorney was concise and very understandable for both of us. He is a true gentleman. I would recommend Charles to anyone, and I already have.

Charles was very through, matter-of-fact, and to the point. He contacted and resolved my concern with my disability company in a professional and timely matter. I would definitely recommend his serviced

Charles did a great job of educating us in the benefits of estate planning, and in particular setting up a Family Trust. He never rushed us through the process, and was very accommodating to work around our schedule (understanding of our kids activities) . We will continue to seek out his advice as our financial needs/situation may evolve over time. I would strongly recommend him to family and friends.

I was lost; Mr. McClenaghan made me feel at ease right away. I feel that he genuinely cares about helping me sort my probate issue out.

I am self-employed in the insurance and financial services industry. I met Chas through a network group about four years ago, I had him set up my LLC for me. It went so well that I began to use Chas for all my personal estate/trust planning. It was so nice working with him that I began referring him to all my clients. In the past four years all the clients I sent over to Chas had nothing but great things to say about him and the way he put them in a better situation then they were before. I am very happy to know Chas and how he has affected my life in and outside the office. I would highly recommend Chas to anyone looking for a great lawyer!

Chas has formed three companies and has written numerous contracts for us. Also, I have introduced him to my real estate clients who need legal assistance. He is very responsive, proactive, and thorough. When I hire him, I know things get done. That is why I keep using him.

Having known Mr. McClenaghan for many years, I had him to handle some real estate matters for me and have frequently consulted with him on a number of legal issues. I have full confidence in his abilities and have referred friends and family to him for his help.
