I hired attorney Waechter because I was charged with harassment while in Maryland. I am from Pennsylvania so it became more complex. Not only did attorney Waechter have the warrant for my arrest changed to a summons to appear in court, but got the charges dropped when the hearing took place. He spoke to the DA and was able to convince her to not pursue the charges against me. His staff was also very helpful and kind. I recommend attorney Waechter, he works hard for his clients.
Mr. Waelchters negotiated the best possible result in my case. Short of getting my charges dropped, I am satisfied with the results he negotiated for me. I recommend him for representation if you get in trouble in Maryland. He got me pre trial probation for serious charges that could have got me 5 years. In addition, I can get the case expunged eventually.
Mr Charles was able to help me get my charges lowered to save my clean criminal record. I walked away with only 1 year unsupervised probation. He was always up front, direct, and honest. Both he and his staff was always friendly and professional. Hire him if you ever find yourself in legal trouble.
I was charged with indescent exposure charges. I was on vacation back in June and after being at the hotel for only 3 hours i was arrest. I woke up in a jail cell not knowing what happen. I was told i was being charged with indescent exposure. I was drugged by someone putting something in my drink. I then searched for the top lawyer in these matters bc i never been charged with anything in my life. Charlie was very aggresssive on this case for me. The final outcome was all charges dismissed. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND CHARLIE HE KNOWS HIS STUFF!!
I hired Mr. Waechter’s firm to represent me in a moving violation case which had a possible hefty fine & points. They were very proactive & accommodating as I live out of town & didn’t have my own transportation to get the court. After getting one postponement due to hiring them late in the game they got my case completely dismissed!! I’m ecstatic!! They are top-notch! I would highly recommend this firm.
A family member was charged with some very serious drug offenses in an Eastern Shore, MD county. It was a first offense but nevertheless, serious. We did our due diligence and spoke with several lawyers prior to consulting with Mr. Waechter. He was familiar with the judicial system in the county. Mr. Waechter offered guidance and treatment options to strengthen the case. He was no nonsense. He met with us several times before trial. The case was actually resolved before trial at a status hearing. He was able to get all charges dropped except one and secured probation before judgement for that offense. We were very pleased with this outcome. We would definitely recommend Mr. Waechter for your legal problems.
Very helpful and easy to contact. Organized and professional. Makes sure you understand your situation and does everything he can to help you through the process.
An excellent man and an excellent lawyer. My only complaint about Mr. Waechter is that he occasionally took a while to get back to me, but usually only when he was either busy with someone else, or was waiting to hear back so he actually had something to tell me. He was always very friendly and frank.
I hired Charlie after a free consultation. It was a great decision. He helped prevent any charges from being filed against me. He was reassuring throughout the process. He always answered my calls. I highly recommend him.
After a lifetime with no legal issues I found myself facing serious charges, and up against the incredible resources of the State. I have been wowed with Mr. Waechter’s legal moves as my case has unwound over the last four years. I was fortunate to have been referred to him early in the process. A magician in the courtroom!
